Specialty: Military composition materials engineering 

Purpose: Composite materials are modern materials for structural purposes, consisting of dissimilar substances, the particles of which are interconnected by a matrix substance (polymer, metal or ceramic) and give the material properties that differ from the properties of the individual component. The components can be polymers of various modifications, special structural ceramics, high-strength glass, carbon or boron fibers, metal powders of various compositions, as well as fibers and particles of plant origin, including waste from wood processing and industrial agricultural crops. The unique structural feature of composite materials provides them with high corrosion resistance, the ability to absorb shock loads, excellent surface quality, and a beautiful appearance, which leads to the widespread use of composite materials in almost all industries and fields of activity: from heavy engineering, electric power, automotive, aviation, radio and electronic equipment from shipbuilding to construction, agriculture, sports, tourism and medicine.

Composite materials are used to make products that are characterized by high levels of strength, rigidity and reliability under extremely high loads and other external influences, as well as products that are subject to increased ergonomic and environmental requirements.

The fundamental feature of composite materials that distinguishes them from traditional materials is the ability to control the structure and properties in a wide range in relation to the configuration of a particular product, the requirements and conditions of their operation. That is why, for the correct design and successful use of composites, knowledge is required, both in general technical disciplines and special knowledge that allows you to skillfully design the product itself, the technological equipment necessary for its manufacture, and develop a suitable shaping technology. Studying the entire complex of general engineering and special disciplines, acquiring skills in designing and manufacturing products from composite materials constitute the main content of the learning process in this specialty.

Professional training of mechanical engineers in this specialty is focused on innovative activities in the field of creating new composite materials, including nanomaterials, and products made from them, as well as on the development, using IT technologies, of technological processes and technological equipment for the manufacture of composite materials and products of them.

Relevance: The educational program is relevant for a certain field of employment: educational and scientific-research areas, as well as the, Ministry of Defense Industry, Ministry of Emergency Situations manufacturing enterprises.
