The whole package of teaching and methodical documentation has been developed and approved for all disciplines of bachelors training programs. Presentations of lectures on special bachelor’s disciplines using an interactive whiteboard are used in educational process. Such disciplines as “Labor Protection and Life Safety”, “Theory and Technology of Electric Steel Production”, “Construction and Design of Metallurgical Aggregates”, “Fundamentals of Project Development and Design of Metallurgical Facilities.” Are provided with teaching stands. Classrooms and laboratories of the department are equipped with personal computers and interactive whiteboard sets. These computers are used by teachers and staff of the department to develop curriculum and by students in their research works, thesis writing. All laboratory works are provided with methodical instructions and manuals.
The main directions of the department’s scientific work are:
- Energy-efficient and resource-saving technology of crushing ferromaterials
- Development of resource-saving technology for complex processing of poor and sub-standard raw materials of the South Kempirsay deposit with obtaining competitive products
- Development of technology for obtaining competitive chromium ferroalloys from technogenic raw materials formed during the redistribution of chromic raw materials
- Development of technology for smelting refined ferrochromium grades with liquidation of the process of self-deposition of slag by using complex reducing agents to reduce the technogenic load on the environment
- Development of technologies for processing technogenic wastes of industrial enterprises in the Aktyubinsk region with the receipt of a competitive marketable product
- Development and improvement of mining and metallurgical complex production technologies
- Managing the development of technological schemes and parameters in the complexes of cyclic-flow technology of deep quarries.
Generalized research results are presented in the form of monographs, textbooks, educational and methodological aids, inventions, articles and then used in teaching process. Students of 3-4 courses are involved in scientific research. The best graduates who are interested in further scientific research continue their education at postgraduate study.

Accreditation
In the national rate of the universities` educational programs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, conducted by the IAAR specialty 5B070900 – “Metallurgy” ocupied the 2nd place in 2014, the 3rd place in 2015, the 5th place in 2016 place and the 3rd position in 2017; specialty 5B070700 – “Mining” occupied the 2nd place in 2014, the 3rd place in 2015, and the 4th place in 2016.
On October 30, 2024, fourth-year students majoring in "Petrochemical Production Technology," under the guidance of Senior Lecturer R.O. Orynbasar, visited the Aktobe branch of JSC "NATIONAL CENTER FOR EXPERTISE AND CERTIFICATION."
The center's specialists introduced students to modern analysis methods and technical equipment in the field of metrology. Future specialists studied the principles of laboratory equipment operation, calibration methods, and standardization of measuring instruments.
During the educational visit, students discussed current challenges in the petrochemical industry and innovative approaches to solving them, thoroughly examining the operation of modern control panels and measuring instruments. They mastered calibration and standardization principles, and became familiar with data collection and processing methods.
Special attention was paid to the operation of portable diagnostic devices used in field conditions. This equipment enables the assessment of petroleum products quality, analysis of gas composition, and determination of other important physicochemical parameters.
As noted by the center's specialists, modern metrological equipment plays a key role in ensuring product quality and safety in the petrochemical industry. This educational visit contributed to the integration of students' theoretical knowledge with practical experience and enhanced their professional competencies.
Ensuring a harmonious connection between theory and practice in young specialists' training is one of the university's key objectives. Such practical sessions allow our students to gain deeper insights into their future profession and develop as competitive specialists in the labor market.
June 13-22, 2024 The teaching staff of the "Oil and Gas Engineering" Department enhanced their qualifications at the country's leading technical university - Satbayev Kazakh National Research Technical University.
The professional development program included two key areas:
- "Exploration, drilling, production and development"
- "Energy"
15 department teachers participated in the courses, including candidates of technical sciences and PhD doctors. The acquired knowledge and competencies will ensure a high level of training for oil and gas industry specialists in accordance with modern production requirements.
