Program Uniqueness
The uniqueness and advantages of the 7M07113 “Electric Power Engineering” (profile master’s program) compared to similar programs at the regional level and across the Republic of Kazakhstan include the following:
1) Strong engineering and practice-oriented focus of training
The program is aimed at training Masters of Engineering and Technology for the real sector of electric power engineering — design, operation, and modernization of power systems and facilities. The training is focused on applied engineering tasks and technological solutions for power plants, electric grids, enterprise power supply systems, and energy facilities.
2) Advanced digital and software-oriented training for electric power engineering
A distinctive feature of the program is an expanded block of disciplines in software and digital modeling: modern software environments, industrial programming languages, network technologies, mathematical and simulation modeling, and modeling of electromechanical systems.
This ensures graduates’ readiness to use digital tools for analysis, calculation, and design of power systems.
3) Systematic integration of intelligent technologies and artificial intelligence in power engineering
The program includes disciplines in artificial intelligence, fuzzy systems and neural networks, intelligent control systems in electric power engineering, and automated systems for monitoring and accounting of energy resources. The training is aimed at applying intelligent algorithms in operating mode control, diagnostics, and optimization of energy facilities.
4) Design, engineering, and project-oriented training approach
A significant part of the training is related to the design of electric power systems, development of technical solutions, engineering analysis, and project management. The curriculum includes disciplines on electric power system design, modern methods of energy facility development, standardization, and project management. This forms competencies in engineering justification and implementation of technical solutions.
5) Focus on energy efficiency and energy management
The program systematically includes disciplines in energy auditing, energy management, optimization of energy consumption modes, and renewable energy. Graduates acquire competencies in assessing energy efficiency and developing energy-saving measures at industrial facilities.
6) Close integration with industry and applied format of final training
The uniqueness of the profile master’s program lies in its pronounced industry orientation: it includes industrial practice and experimental research work of the master’s student with the completion of an applied master’s project. The topics are focused on real tasks of enterprises in the energy sector.
This ensures a high level of practical readiness and rapid professional adaptation of graduates.
