Vitamins for future student

Profile alma mater scientifical require support from authorities and manufacturers
In Biyskom Institute of Technology AltGTU begins receiving documents
for admission to university. Waiting for their applicants and the Faculty of "Chemical Technology and Engineering", which is preparing for the bulk of specialists
scientifical. Waiting with alarm: this year the university will face a shortage of applicants.
The causes of potential gap of high school students both objective and subjective. Schools are already experiencing, and universities have yet to survive the most serious consequences of social experiments late last century. In Biyske thought: after three years the number of school graduates will not exceed 400 people. Only by 2016 the situation will improve, and then on - projected to be about a thousand graduates (in 2004 there were twice as much!). However, before this, you still live, and specialists for Altai scientifical need to prepare now.
In 2008, 11 - first class graduated nearly 1.6 biyskih thousands of schoolchildren. Of these, EGE Chemistry passed only 80 people. Dean of the Faculty of "Chemical technology and engineering" Biyskogo Institute of Technology, Ph.D., Professor Valery Sevodin divorce hands: even if a miracle happens and all "young chemists", passed the exam profile, served papers on this faculty, will still happen shortfall in ten man. Count on applicants from other territories province also did not have to: it turned out, chemistry is not now in a special honored. For example, in Aleyske EGE on the subject surrendered only one person, and in Slavgorode - nine ( "top five" received only one of the graduates).
Moreover, as acknowledged Valery Sevodin, yesterday's students, whose interests are linked with chemistry, prefer to leave from Biisk in Novosibirsk, Barnaul and Tomsk, because EGE gives them an opportunity to get into university or institution in virtually any city. In doing so, applicants often attract medical specialties, rather than actual chemical. Prospects for the same work for many scientifical yesterday's schoolchildren and does not yet understand. That is its "inclusiveness" single state examination unexpectedly had disservice Biyskomu Institute of Technology. Cable chemists are profori-entatsionnuyu work with local educational institutions, but the potential outflow of students from the Faculty of profile is obvious.
At the same time faculty "Chemical Engineering and Technology" has much to offer its prospective students: four specialty - "Gunpowder and solid fuel", "explosives", "Biotechnology", "Brodilnye production and wine", six chairs. Superior teachers - four doctors of science, 33 candidates of sciences, 10 teachers and assistants. There are specialized laboratories, installed new installations. In particular, one of them will be operational with the new school year. The laboratory, where students-chemists will be able to work with various enzymes, is in the process of resettlement. Incidentally, one of the existing laboratories acquired several years ago specifically for the future
ing wine. Laboratory called… vineyard on two hectares of land in Srostkah. Students graduate ready not just use raw materials from the laboratory - they themselves are involved in cultivation and harvesting of grapes.
To survive in the new environment and is worthy to compete with other universities, local authorities need help chemists and manufacturers.
The most powerful argument for study in Institute of Technology, in the opinion of teachers, can be guaranteed employment in companies working programme scientifical. Why, Valery talks Sevodin not legitimize the official quota system? Today's and tomorrow's graduates applicants they would have given confidence in obtaining work, and alma mater - in the flow of applicants. From the producers desirable and more active involvement in the education of future professionals. A university has already established successful cooperation with several leading enterprises scientifical, but the general background is allocated existing system of relations with JSC "Altayvitaminy". The company helps faculty with training base, preparing a joint research (gendi -
Rector of the plant, Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences Yuri Koshelev has been here 12 years, heads the department of biotechnology), many graduates successfully work here. As they say teachers BTI, the same should be established and work with other companies - along the lines considered for scientifical priority.
Without quotas and closer interaction situation, according to the dean of the Faculty of Valery Se-vodina, could turn into a paradoxical: the scientifical remain svetochi chemical thought, but will not be the core professional staff. "In the end, leaders and managers of high quality and can you bring from afar, but the bulk of skilled professionals capable of adequately realise what was conceived chemical genius, from afar in Biysk not privezesh - this from the city and even the province simply does not have enough resources. Such images have to raise here at home. And here is precisely at this and we must focus ", - considers Valery Pavlovich. For that, as far as could be, is responsible not only university, but the authorities - both urban and regional as well as himself scientifical. Moreover, the weight and rate - the effectiveness of the entire Altai Science Centre, in particular - biopharmaceuticals cluster, with the development in the province are linked by great expectations.
