Technological Machines and Equipment

The Technological Machines and Equipment programme trains specialists to design, operate and repair machines and installations used in production processes. Education in this field is offered by 18 higher education institutions, including Andijan State Technical Institute, Bukhara State Technical University, Fergana State Technical University, Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute, Namangan State Technical University, Navoi State University of Mining and Technologies, Nukus State Technical University and Almalyk State Technical Institute.

What is taught in this field

In the first years, students study core subjects such as mathematics, physics, technical drawing and materials science. Later courses include theoretical mechanics, machine parts, hydraulics and pneumatics, heat engineering, electrical engineering and automation. Specialised subjects help students understand the structure and operating principles of technological equipment and the methods used to calculate it.

Practical skills are equally important: working with computer-aided design (CAD) software, reading and preparing drawings, diagnosing, adjusting and repairing machines. Through laboratory work and practice, students test theoretical knowledge on real equipment.

Who the graduate becomes

Graduates can work as engineer-technologists or mechanical engineers. Their main professional paths include:

• design engineer for technological equipment;
• specialist in operation and repair of production equipment;
• technologist who supervises the production process;
• engineer in an equipment maintenance department;
• assistant to a production section or workshop manager.

Where graduates can work

Graduates can find employment in the following sectors:

• mining and metallurgy;
• oil and gas industry;
• food and light industry enterprises;
• construction materials production;
• agricultural machinery manufacturing and technical service centres;
• design bureaus and research institutes;
• repair plants and industrial service companies.

The growth of industry and agriculture in Uzbekistan creates more opportunities for specialists working with technological equipment.
