The Department of "Electromechanics" is the basic department of the Kyrgyz Republic for this profile. This is one of the oldest departments of KSTU and has a rich, time-tested experience in training highly qualified personnel.
SHORT STORY
In order to train engineering and technical personnel in the electric power industry and electromechanics, in 1955, the Frunze Polytechnic Institute organized the Department of Electrification of Industrial Enterprises, which trained specialists in the design and operation of power electrical equipment and technological complexes, as well as power supply to industrial enterprises. Later, the departments "Electrical Machines and Apparatus", "Electric Drive and Automation of Industrial Installations" and "Power Supply of Cities and Industrial Enterprises" separated from this department and became independent.
The department "Electrical Machines and Apparatus" was organized in 1963. The need to create a special department "Electrical Machines and Apparatus" was due to the rapid development of electrical engineering in our Republic. So, only in the city of Frunze, the production of electric machines was carried out by three large plants - Kyrgyzelektrodvigatel, Tyazhelektromash and the plant named after. IN AND. Lenin. In 1989, the department was renamed the Department of "Electromechanics" in accordance with the changes introduced into the generally accepted terminology.
The first head of the department was Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Gusev Boris Yakovlevich, invited from MPEI, and from 1967 to 1978 the Department was headed by Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Filatov M.N., who before joining the FPI worked as a chief engineer plant "Kubaselectromotor". It was Filatov M.N., having rich experience in practical work, versatile knowledge and organizational skills, who made the predominant contribution to the formation of the department, to the creation of its educational and laboratory base, to the development of scientific areas and to experimental design work performed by the staff of the department.
In the future, the department was headed by Ph.D., associate professors Pashinsky V.G., Chyngyshev A.A., Mikitchenko A.Ya. Currently, the head of the department is Doctor of Technical Sciences, Honored Inventor of the Kyrgyz Republic, Professor Bochkarev I.V.
From the very beginning of its creation, the department had strong ties with leading universities and enterprises of the country. This significantly strengthened the material and technical, educational and laboratory base of the department and ensured the training of highly qualified engineering and scientific and pedagogical personnel. The first graduation of electrical and mechanical engineers took place in 1968. In total, over the entire period of the existence of the department as an independent structural unit, it has trained more than 1,500 specialists. It should be noted that this department was the first in the FPI, where foreign students began to study. From its inception to the present Department of "Electromechanics" is the only department in Kyrgyzstan that trains specialists in this specialty. In our Republic, it is almost impossible to find an industrial enterprise and organization that would not employ graduates of the department.
Currently, among the staff of the department there are 2 professors, doctors of technical sciences (Bochkarev I.V. and Galbaev Zh.T.) and 3 candidates of technical sciences with the academic title of associate professor (Gunina M.G., Solovyov Ya.Ya., Borukeev T .FROM.). Teachers of the department "Electromechanics" carry out a large amount of educational work in almost all faculties of KSTU.
The department has 5 specialized laboratories for testing and research of electrical machines, devices, electric drives and their control systems, as well as a computer class. Test programs are designed to develop independent work and accustom students to scientific research. In addition, students widely use computer equipment available at the department. All academic disciplines are fully provided with relevant educational and methodological literature. Scientific and technical results, which were obtained by teachers in the process of performing research work, are widely introduced into the educational process.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIALTY
The Department of "Electromechanics" is one of the oldest departments of KSTU and has a rich, time-tested experience in preparing graduates in the specialty "Electromechanics".
Electromechanics is a part of technology that includes a set of means, methods and methods of human activity used to produce and use electrical energy, control its flows and convert various types of energy into electrical energy. Electromechanics as a science considers the issues of creating power and information devices for the mutual conversion of electrical and mechanical energy, electrical, contact and non-contact devices for switching electrical circuits and controlling energy flows. Thus, electromechanics is a fundamental science that significantly affects the material culture of modern civilization.
The objects of professional activity of a graduate in the specialty "Electromechanics" are electrical machines, transformers, equipment of strong electric and magnetic fields, electromechanical complexes and systems, including their control and regulation. The specialty "Electromechanics" is very necessary and interesting, because without electrical energy it is impossible to imagine the life of modern society, and almost all of its production is carried out by electric machines - turbo and hydro generators. At the same time, two-thirds of all generated electricity is consumed again by electric machines. These are asynchronous and synchronous motors, DC motors, transformers, information and indicator electrical machines, etc.
The scope of electrical machines is very extensive - industry, aviation, transport, agriculture, household sector, etc. Thus, the scope of practical work of an electromechanical specialist is wide, multifaceted and interesting. This is work on the calculation, design, production, operation, theoretical and experimental research of electrical machines. When using electric machines, it becomes necessary to control and regulate them, as well as to develop automated control systems for various technical and technological complexes and processes.
This is also the field of activity of electromechanical engineers who develop and operate various electronic and electromechanical control, monitoring and control devices and systems, create on their basis various automated production processes and technological complexes, as well as automatic and program control systems based on microprocessor and computer technology.
It is worth noting that the profession of "electromechanic" itself is divided into many different specialties, depending on the types of equipment and their characteristic features.
