1. State and Prospects of Civil Enhineering Education in Russia Valery I. Telichenko Rector of Moscow State University of Civil Engineering President of International Association of Educational Civil Engineering Institutions

2. New approaches in the development of higher education in Russia 1 • The taking into effect of the federal state educational standards of higher vocational education. • Informatization, availability of computer, information and telecommunication technologies and multimedia resources. • The joining the Bolonga process and the shift to level education (bachelor, master, engineer). • The shift of the application process to the system of the United State Exam (USE). • The appearance of the system of fee paid education in the network of the forming of the market of education industry. • The development of science and technical progress (the development of new scientific, educational and information disciplines). • The decrease in the interest of the school-leavers towards engineering. • The forming of young people’s new world-outlook (network consciousness). 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

3. Geographically Distributed Education System for the Construction Industry secondary vocational education International Association of Educational Civil Engineering Institutions (AECEI) includes more than 150 universities, faculties and subsidiaries. higher vocational education continuing professional education

4. Form of joint projects with industry, business partners, employees- Open Industry Strategic Partnership MGSU initiated the creation of so-called Strategic Partnership (SP) of educational institutions in the sphere of architecture and civil engineering. Later the idea if SP was widened, and on the 21st of October, 2011 an Agreement of Cooperation was in the sphere of personnel planning for the goals of the building complex. This document was signed by the Minister of Regional Development of Russia, Minister of Education and Science of Russia, Rector of MGSU and president of International Association of Educational Civil Engineering Institutions, as well as four heads of the biggest national associations of self-regulating organizations of Russia

5. Basic principles of Open Industry Strategic Partnership Industrial Integration of Educational institutions of Civil Engineering and Architectural profile of all levels Industrial Integration of Scientific Organizations of Civil Engineering and Architectural profile Industrial Integration of information resources by forming an open network of education in building Sectoral Public-private Partnership of Educational and Scientific institutions with Government Agencies, Corporations and Enterprises - Members of the Real Sector of the Construction Industry

6. The Main Tasks of Open Industry Strategic Partnership (OOSP) • The making of the mechanism of staff planning and methodological support in the sphere of town planning, architecture and civil engineering. 1 2 • Forming of an innovative sector system of continual education. The integration of all levels of architectural and civil engineering education with science. 3 4 • Interaction with national associations of self-regulating. • The solving of top priority state problems, high-technology and social development of Russia in the building sector 5 • The continuation of the forming of OSSP in the sphere of the staffing support of the building sector. 6

7. Moscow State Universityof Civil Engineering (MGSU) • Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (MGSU) is the flagship of the construction science and professional education. It is an advanced center for research and education implementing the most advanced innovative technologies. • By the decision of the contest committee from the 26th of April, 2010, following the results of voting by secret ballot, MGSU became one of the 15 winners of the “National Research University” status. This achievement is only the beginning of the long way during which the team of MGSU will have to solve a whole complex of tasks on priority areas of civil engineering and allied scientific disciplines.

8. Moscow State Universityof Civil Engineering (MGSU) • The goal of the corresponding program is the establishment of a united system of continual architectural and civil engineering vocational education of the world level, capable of satisfying the staff demand of the building sector in the solving of the tasks of qualitative scientific and high-technology progress of today’s building, the modernization of the anthropogenic and the development of the social infrastructure of Russia for a long-termed perspective, realization of priority national projects, rise of national security and competitiveness of Russia in the scale of the global knowledge, technics and technologies progress.

9. Moscow State Universityof Civil Engineering (MGSU) • Today MGSU includes 9 institutes, science and innovation complex, consisting of more than 40 facilities, including research laboratories, research institutes and research-and-study centers, equipped with the latest high-technical equipment, having the various areas of research: • new building materials and technologies; nanotechnologies; • computer & numerical simulation of processes in civil engineering, program application packages; • intelligent building management control systems; • building structures test and design; • building aerodynamics; • complex safety in civil engineering; • geotechnics; • engineering and environmental researches; • energy efficient buildings; • water supply and water disposal; • translucent structures in construction • and small innovative enterprises for the implementation of the results of the intellectual activity.

10. Internationalcooperation MGSU has a comprehensive program of cooperation with the Technical University of Eindhoven in the following directions: • development and implementation of joint research programs and projects; • development and implementation of joint educational programs; • conducting joint scientific and methodological conferences, seminars and e.t.c.; • exchange of lecturers and scientists for the delivery of lectures, upgrading qualification; • exchange of postgraduates and young scientists for study and scientific research; • exchange of students by way of practical training sessions and internships; • sharing of scientific and technical knowledge, documentation, literature and bibliographic database; • preparation and publication of joint scientific and technical articles, reports and books.

11. Prospects of cooperation with universities in the Netherlands • MGSU enjoys a well deserved international reputation. it has established fruitful international links with over eighty universities, institutes and centers for research and education based in 50 countries worldwide. • As part of student mobility programs, MGSU has awarded professional degrees to more than 3,100 specialists from over 100 countries. Today, students from more than 50 countries study at MGSU. • Dutch universities are welcome to interact with the MGSU in sphere of education (joint education programs for bachelors, masters and specialists, development of academic mobility, exchange of teachers) and science (in the priority research areas).
