“Scientific Foundations of the Methodology for the Synthesis of Transport and Logistics Systems and Increasing the Efficiency of Their Functioning Using Road Transport.”

Specialty: 05.22.10 – Operation of Road Transport.

Students’ Research Activities (SRW)

Students’ research activity is an important tool for improving the quality of specialist training in the field of civil aviation and developing students’ ability to creatively apply scientific and technological achievements.

Participation in Olympiads and Competitions

Students of groups TTPo-3-23 and ETMo-3-23 participated in the IV International Online Olympiad in Theoretical Mechanics, which was held at the State Energy Institute of Turkmenistan from March 10 to March 15, 2025.

Participants:

• Arzuu Bostonbaeva
• Ulukbek Mukhtarov
• Omurbek Kerimkulov

The team won second place in the team competition, while Arzuu Bostonbaeva took third place in the individual competition.

Supervisor: Candidate of Technical Sciences, Acting Associate Professor Zh.T. Gaparova.

Main Objectives of Students’ Research:

• mastering scientific research methods and deepening knowledge of academic disciplines;
• developing skills for independent problem-solving in research activities;
• acquiring experience in teamwork and organization of research work.

Students’ research activities:

• are integrated into the educational process (course projects and independent work with research elements);
• are carried out outside regular classes;
• are completed with a report, presentation at a department meeting, or presentation at a scientific conference.

Research projects successfully completed outside the academic curriculum and meeting the program requirements may be accepted as course papers.

Laboratory Facilities and Scientific Directions

The department includes the following laboratories:

QAircraft Modeling Laboratory

Students of the laboratory regularly and successfully participate in international competitions.

QAviation Security Laboratory

The Aviation Security Laboratory of the Kyrgyz Aviation Institute named after I. Abdraimov provides practice-oriented training for aviation specialists, supports students’ research activities, and facilitates their participation in specialized conferences, competitions, and scientific events.

QExperimental Design Laboratory

The laboratory works in the following areas:

1. Design and construction of a wind tunnel for aerodynamic laboratory studies.
2. Development of an internal combustion engine project for light aviation aircraft (ultralight aircraft).
3. Development of ultralight aircraft projects (airplanes and helicopters).
4. Research on the application of electric motors as power plants for ultralight aircraft.
5. Development and production of teaching aids, demonstration models, and training stands.

Educational Activities

Educational activities of the department are carried out within the Faculty of Civil Aviation.

A modular point-rating system for assessing students’ knowledge has been introduced into the educational process.

The department’s teaching staff has developed sets of control and testing materials of different levels of complexity for the automated knowledge assessment system.

Department staff regularly:

• improve teaching and methodological complexes of disciplines;
• update methodological materials and assessment funds;
• introduce modern digital educational technologies;
• adapt the content of disciplines to the requirements of educational standards and curricula.

Graduates

In 2022, the department held the first graduation of bachelor’s degree specialists trained under the implemented educational programs.

Many graduates of the department successfully work at civil aviation enterprises of the Kyrgyz Republic as well as in several countries abroad, thereby contributing to the development of the aviation industry and ensuring flight safety.
