MY SPECIALITY – CIVIL ENGINEERING



I am a student of the Department of Architecture and Building Engineering of the Ufa State Petroleum Technological University. Our department trains civil engineers, sanitary engineers and architects. It was founded in 1976. I am specializing in civil engineering.

Young people choose the profession of a civil engineer because it is rather easy for an engineer or architect to find a well-paid job or start their own business in this country. Besides, to see the results of their own work, its necessity and beauty gives much pleasure to an engineer.

The development of construction industry depends on many other industries. Great attention is paid to building materials industry. It supplies the construction industry with essential materials.

Construction is divided into industrial, agricultural, road, housing and others. Housing construction is carried out on a large scale in our country. Builders construct and reconstruct palaces of culture, theatres, museums, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, houses and industrial buildings.

In order to be a good specialist an engineer must know mathematics, physics, foreign languages, building materials, history of arts, the qualities of building materials, the scale and the specifications and so on. They should be well qualified and have a good command of building techniques and methods, etc. They must be able to read technical drawings of the project.

The aim of a civil engineer is to provide our people with cosy home, which has all modern conveniences – such as running water, electricity, ventilation, heating system.

have a good command – хорошо знать, владеть

MY SPECIALITY – WATER SUPPLY AND DRAINAGE

I am the student of the Civil Engineering and Architectural Department of the Ufa State Petroleum Technological University. Our department trains civil engineers, sanitary engineers and architects. I am specializing in water supply and water drainage.

Water is one of the most important natural resources in the world. Man cannot live without it. Water is necessary not only for people but also for industry and agriculture. Every town and settlement must have an adequate supply of fresh water. Water used for drinking must be quite pure.

The department “Water Supply and Water Drainage” at our university trains water specialists. The main task for sanitary engineer is to purify water, deliver it into buildings and drain off waste water. The students of this department study such special subjects as hydraulics, hydrology, chemistry of water, water supply and sewerage systems and many others. They also study a foreign language to be able read and translate foreign literature on their speciality.

Waste water or sewage is often released into natural water bodies. That is why great attention must be paid to purification of sewage and protection of natural waters against pollution.

After graduating from the University the graduates can work at research institutes, water works, water purification plants, etc.

 

MY SPECIALITY – ROAD CONSTRUCTION

I’m a student of the Ufa Oil Technical University. I’m specializing in road construction and consider my specialty very important.

The students of our department learn different subjects to receive a great deal of scientific training connected with their profession. They are maths, physics, foreign languages, strength of materials, drawing, building materials, history of arts and others. All will help us to become skilled well - educated specialists.

Construction is divided into industrial, agricultural, transport, housing and others. Road construction is carried out on a large scale in our country. The development of construction industry depends on many other industries. Great attention is paid to building materials industry, it supplies the construction industry with essential materials and prefabs.

In order to be a good specialist, road constructors must know maths, geodesy, the qualities of building materials, the scale and specifications. Road constructors must be able to read technical drawings of the project.  To ensure maximum safety for the transportation system, it is very necessary to plan and design roads on sound engineering techniques.

The traffic on the road has completely altered within the last twenty-five years and therefore the existing system of roads should also be changed, in order to meet modern requirements. The increasing volume of modern traffic, especially in towns, indicates that there is an urgent need for countless road construction projects in the near future. This involves the construction of bridges, tunnels and underpasses.

 

MY SPECIALITY – ARCHITECTURE

The Department of Architecture and Building Engineering of the Ufa State Petroleum Technological University trains architects, civil and sanitary engineers. It was founded in 1969. Young people choose the career of an architect because it is rather easy for a building engineer or architect to find a well-paid job or start their own business in this country.

The students of our department study different subjects to get scientific and professional training. Architects must know mathematics as well as many facts about building materials. They also need some knowledge of sculpture, design, city planning, drawing, painting, foreign languages, history of arts, etc. All this will help us to become skilled and well-educated specialists.

Designing a building, an architect should consider structural principles, materials, and social and economic requirements. They should always keep in mind three basic aims of building – convenience, strength and beauty, as any building is built because of some definite human need, either practical or emotional, or both. Every building should be pleasant in appearance, strong and durable.

An architect should be an artist as well as an inventive engineer. The professional architect deals with designing such important buildings as houses, industrial enterprises, hospitals, clubs.

The chief task of an architect is to improve the quality of their creations, both artistically and technically, to save and enrich the best traditions of native and foreign architecture.
