On September 29, ALT University hosted a thematic class dedicated to Mechanical Engineer’s Day. The event was held as part of the “Transport Systems Modeling” course under the guidance of Senior Lecturer Tomiris Kazbekovna Omarova, with students majoring in Mechanical and Automotive Engineering.
Mechanical engineering is one of the key industries driving the economic growth and innovation potential of any nation. Today, it plays a strategic role in transportation, manufacturing, and energy sectors. Modern digital design and modeling technologies form the foundation for training highly qualified specialists.
A crucial part of engineering education involves mastering Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems such as AutoCAD and SolidWorks. The “Transport Systems Modeling” course helps students develop skills in project-based thinking, spatial imagination, technical analysis, and the optimization of complex processes.
To celebrate their professional holiday, the students participated in a number of engaging intellectual and creative activities:
Student presentations on the history of mechanical engineering, highlighting key stages in the development of the industry and the contributions of prominent engineers;
Kahoot quiz games with questions about the history of mechanical engineering, famous inventors, and modern technologies;
“Guess the Part” challenge, where participants had to identify mechanical components based on blueprints or 3D sketches;
Creative contest “Transport of the Future”, where students presented their own futuristic vehicle concepts;
Mini-Olympiad in Mechanical Engineering, with logic, spatial reasoning, and technical problem-solving tasks.
The session also featured short videos showcasing the department’s work in training the next generation of engineers, as well as video greetings from students, which helped create a festive and inspiring atmosphere.
Events like these not only make the learning process more dynamic but also encourage the development of creative and analytical thinking, help foster engineering intuition, and strengthen team spirit. Thematic lessons play an important role in connecting theoretical knowledge with real-world applications and nurturing students’ interest in their future profession.
This special class dedicated to Mechanical Engineer’s Day became a vivid example of how education, innovation, and celebration can be effectively combined — helping students feel connected to their profession and understand the vital role mechanical engineering plays in the modern world.
Events like this also contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of quality education, innovation, and sustainable industry.
