The TPU Academic Board developed and approved the Plan for
Resource-Efficiency Expansion 2013-2018.
Competence Center in Resource Efficient Technologies has
been founded at TPU to create a world level research and educational environment thus enabling a rapid growth of academic reputation of the University in Russia and abroad. The Center
acts in the four priority areas: Intellectual Energy, Safe Environment, Resources of the Earth, and Engineering Medicine.
Intellectual Energy: development of alternative energy
sources to eliminate negative effects of the hydrocarbon use,
such as limited supplies, dependence on geopolitical factors,
pollution, man-made disasters and high costs.
Safe Environment: development of innovative technologies
in the area of human safety based on combining all types of
safety (technical, radiation, information, fire, economic, etc.)
into a single system that is integrated into manufacturing
processes and ensures predictability and handling of potential
consequences of industrial accidents.
Resources of the Earth: development of innovative technologies for broadening the base for mineral and water resources to improve the quality of life and health of the Earth
population.
Engineering Medicine: solving economic and social problems
of national importance – reducing mortality and disability in the
working population.
The Competence Center of TPU has been organized around
a distributed Cluster of Modern Information Technology that creates intellectual HW/SW systems to monitor and
control complex distributed processes and objects in social,
technical and medical facilities. The final results are achieved
with support of a Cluster of Social Humanitarian Technologies for Engineering that is focused on creating a tech-
62
nology of managerial and entrepreneurial skills development
for an engineer. Besides, the Cluster of Social Humanitarian
Technologies for Engineering transfers any social humanitarian scientific outcomes to educational programmes in the area
of resource-efficient economy. The Cluster acts as an outer
shell of the Center and combines the various areas of the Center into a single system. By founding the Competence Center
TPU made the next step on the way of its transformation into
a center of training elite engineers who will have non-standard
professional competencies at the best world standards.
63
KEY ACTION LINES
TPU successfully approaches its key objective
– becoming a world leading research university
focused on maintenance and development of
technologies for resource-efficient economy.
WE AIM AT:
•enabling an innovative breakthrough in staff training,
scientific research, development and commercialization
of technology in TPU priority lines;
•developing an open multi-cultural world level
environment for research and education;
•creating a comfortable social and cultural environment
for personal development;
•positioning TPU in the international university rankings;
•dissiminating innovations in scientific and educational
spheres.
