On May 23, in Nizhny Novgorod, the closing of the educational online project “TIM-Juniors IV Stream. Become an Engineer of the Future” took place.
“TIM-Juniors” is an international educational project created to inspire the younger generation to study the basics of engineering, technologies of information modeling, and digital twins. The project is aimed at career guidance for schoolchildren in grades eight to eleven and college students. The organizers of the project are JSC “Atomenergoproekt,” Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, and Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, jointly with student teams from the Nizhny Novgorod region and the company “Vysotskiy consulting.”
This year, the project dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the All-Russian Industrial and Art Exhibition of 1896 and to the Year of the Unity of the Peoples of Russia has acquired special significance.
With a welcoming speech at the project closing, an engineer of the 3rd category of the FCS «Engineering Design» of JSC «Atomenergoproekt» spokeEgor Kalinin,Rector of the Nizhny Novgorod State Architectural and Civil Engineering University (NNGASU)Dmitry Shchyogolev,Vice-rector for additional education SPBGASUViktoria Vinogradovaand Deputy General Director of JSC “Atomenergoproekt”Aleksey Agafonov.They congratulated the participants on the completion of the project, noted their diligent work, wished them success in their future endeavors, and invited them to continue participating in the “TIM-Juniors” project.
“Projects like ‘TIM Juniors’ are very important: educational organizations unite with the professional community and jointly develop the digital competencies demanded of future students. Such educational initiatives allow popularizing one of the most creative professions – the engineering profession. The reason is that you started this project several years ago and reached the final, since combining such work with other priorities – studying, exam preparation, hobbies – is not easy. Moreover, you managed to do this at a high level and achieve a quality result.”We express our gratitude to the parents, organizers, and participants of the project, and invite you to visit St. Petersburg and SPbGASU,” noted Viktoriya Vinogradova.
Representatives of SPBGASU, who supervised the project: Denis Nizhegorodtsev, Director of the Educational Center for Digital Competencies, Viktoria Vinogradova, Director of the Educational Center for Project-Based Learning, Inna Sulanova, and Deputy Director of OCPO Natalia Zaitseva
84 schoolchildren and students from 22 regions of Russia, the Republic of Belarus, and Egypt made it to the project final. Participants successfully mastered the technologies of information modeling (TIM), and as a result of joint work, a unified digital House of Friendship of Peoples was created.
In addition, the project participants created digital twins of monuments to the heroes of the Great Victory and outstanding cultural figures.
At the closing ceremony, participants shared their impressions and achievements, and also received well-deserved awards.
For determination, interest in digital technologies in construction, and successful mastering of complex material, the winners and finalists will receive not only a certificate of the first profession but also additional points when applying to partner universities.
There was also a meeting with the parents of the participants, at which they received answers to all their questions about admission, the activities of universities, the project and events in which future applicants can participate.
The educational process was carried out using domestic software (“Renga”, “Kompas-3D”, “Agisoft Metashape”, “nanoCAD”) from the project’s technological partners.
