This is a specialized master’s degree program aimed at training specialists capable of managing projects and processes in the field of transport construction. The program is implemented in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan and is aimed at awarding a Master’s degree in Engineering and Technology.
– Purpose: To train highly qualified managers with deep technical knowledge and modern management skills necessary for the effective implementation of transport infrastructure projects.
Graduates receive a Master of Engineering and Technology degree in the educational program 7M07351. The program trains managers who can work in the following positions in construction, design, operational and consulting organizations in the transport sector:
-Head/Project manager in transport construction.
-A leading engineer for object lifecycle management.
-Specialist in planning and organization of road construction works.
– Expert in technical and regulatory regulation in the field of transport infrastructure.
The training takes place full-time on the basis of higher education.
-Planning: The activities of teaching staff, and hence the educational process, are strictly regulated by the Individual Teacher’s Work Plan (IPRP) and internal documents.
-Quality control: Open classes and mutual visits of teachers are regularly held. The quality of teaching is also assessed through online questionnaires of undergraduates.
-Resources: Students are provided with a guidebook, use AIS Platonus to access the schedule and educational materials (RUP, Syllabuses, EUMKD) and can receive academic certificates online from the EDS through the Registrar Office.
– Training is implemented using modern educational technologies — project training, research and laboratory work, case studies and practical exercises. The program includes disciplines in Kazakh, Russian and English. Special attention is paid to practical skills and working on real projects together with industrial partners.
The program is aimed at obtaining advanced knowledge in the field of management, engineering and regulatory regulation of transport construction. Key disciplines and areas mentioned in the text:
|
Management |
Management Formation of students’ theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of organization, planning, management, control and coordination of construction and operation of transport facilities, taking into account the specifics of the industry, modern technologies, economic, legal and environmental requirements, regulatory framework and modern methods of project management |
|
Foreign language (professional) |
Foreign language (professional) To form students’ communicative competence in a foreign language in professional spheres, this includes the development of oral and written language skills, reading and understanding professionally oriented texts, conducting business correspondence, participating in discussions and negotiations on regulatory legal acts, expertise, as well as using the language for professional communication |
|
The psychology of management |
The psychology of management is the formation of a systematic understanding of the psychological aspects of managerial activity, leadership qualities, motivation management, behavior and communication in organizations. It is aimed at studying the theoretical and methodological foundations of management psychology and ways to solve them, familiarization with methods of studying important socio-psychological characteristics of individuals and teams, professional, interpersonal and intrapersonal problems by means of management psychology. |
|
Lean manufacturing |
Lean manufacturing is the development of the theoretical foundations and practical tools of lean manufacturing aimed at increasing productivity, quality, optimizing processes and reducing costs in various areas of enterprise activity in order to increase the efficiency of business processes and use the principles of lean manufacturing. Managerial competencies in process analysis and decision-making are being developed |
|
SMART Technologies in Transport |
SMART Technologies in Transport Discipline reveals intelligent technologies for digital monitoring, automation and management of transport infrastructure facilities. Develops competencies in the application of artificial intelligence systems and digital counterparts to improve operational safety, reliability and efficiency. The methods of building SMART systems, digital modeling, data analysis and forecasting are being mastered to ensure sustainable transport development. |
|
Organization and planning of scientific research (eng.) |
The discipline focuses on a systematic approach to the development, execution and management of research projects. Special attention is paid to strategic planning, resource allocation, project management and collaboration between researchers. Students learn how to develop research proposals, set goals, and evaluate results, contributing to innovation and efficiency in scientific endeavors. |
|
Legislation and regulatory regulation in transport construction |
The discipline is aimed at developing students’ knowledge of the laws and regulations governing activities in the field of transport construction. The basics of legal regulation of the design, construction, reconstruction and operation of transport infrastructure facilities, as well as the interaction of participants in the construction process with government authorities and regulatory structures are considered. |
|
Integration of AI into transport systems |
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into transportation systems includes the use of machine learning algorithms and data analytics to optimize routes, manage traffic, and improve safety. AI analyzes large amounts of information, predicts traffic, and improves transportation infrastructure planning, contributing to more efficient and sustainable transportation solutions. |
|
The use of software for the design and modeling of transport systems |
Formation of students’ knowledge and practical skills in the application of modern digital technologies and specialized software tools in the process of designing and modeling transport infrastructure facilities, taking into account regulatory requirements and modern technologies, as well as the formation of practical skills in creating, analyzing and optimizing transport system projects |
|
Life cycle management of transport construction facilities |
Formation of students’ systematic understanding of the stages of the life cycle of transport construction facilities (especially highways, bridges, transport interchanges) and the development of managerial competencies for effective planning, coordination, monitoring and completion of projects at all stages of their existence. Knowledge of management methods at all stages of the life cycle |
|
Risk management of construction projects |
Mastering methods for identifying, analyzing, evaluating and minimizing risks that arise at all stages of construction projects, with an emphasis on transport infrastructure facilities. Formation of students’ managerial decision-making skills in conditions of uncertainty and high degree of responsibility. Risk management strategy development skills |
