Thus, aspecial competition was held where universities vied for the status of National ResearchUniversity with resulting additional funding and privileges. Over 2000 universities in theRussian Federation participated in the contest, and 29 of them finally awarded the status.Kazan State Technological University (KSTU) was one of them, and in 2010 it was renamedinto Kazan National Research Technological University (KNRTU).Internationalization of the FacultyThe goal of KNRTU development as a national research university is “to provide personneland scientific research

Topics arenot only intended to strengthen students’ base knowledge in pertinent course-related content (e.g.units, vector calculus, and linear algebra), but are intended to help the students discover andpractice effective learning strategies such as time management and reading comprehension,which they can apply to future coursework, research, and work projects.

solutions that may or may not be viable in other contexts.5.2 Curricular ApproachesThe curriculum can be adjusted to provide engineering students with a better introduction topostmodern thought. A greater emphasis on design projects with appropriate guidance to includenon-technical aspects can impel students to confront the ideas of postmodernism. However,students tend to quickly narrow in on the technical aspects, so it is usually necessary to makesome part of the grade contingent on a consideration of broader, non-technical aspects of thedesign, exploring how the design will impact society and how society informs the design.Sacks calls for the kind of breadth in engineering education that the liberal arts can provide as ameans to appreciation of

The point of creating a new a classis to help your research in some way since that is the main focus of P&T.

solution to theproblem. In the early 1990’s the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)began emphasizing the importance of design in the curriculum. What ABET sought to influencewere programs wherein students had some experience with design before they attempted theircapstone design project. Although design was usually added to other than circuits courses, a fewbrave circuits instructors began to add some design content to their courses. Some circuits textsbegan to include some design problems. Today including design content in the first and/orsecond circuits course is still far from being universally adopted. Many students, especiallythose in non-electrical/computer engineering programs, view linear circuits as uninteresting
