ㅤㅤThe department collaborates closely with industrial enterprises, government organizations, and research institutions, providing students with the opportunity to work on real-world projects and gain practical experience. This cooperation allows students to acquire not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills.

ㅤㅤThe student startup "Bottle Sorting" is aimed at developing an efficient system for collecting and recycling plastic waste for further use in the agro-industrial complex (AIC). The project involves 10 student participants.

ㅤㅤThe initiative focuses on addressing environmental issues related to plastic pollution and supports the principles of sustainable development.

ㅤㅤThe PET bottle sorting startup is a promising initiative that contributes to solving ecological problems and developing the agro-industrial sector based on sustainable development principles. The implementation of the project will not only reduce environmental pollution but also create effective mechanisms for the secondary use of plastic in agriculture, thereby contributing to the development of the "green" economy.

ㅤㅤAs of now, the following tasks have been accomplished within the startup:

ㅤㅤDevelopment of a collection system – locations for installing plastic bottle collection points (universities, public areas) have been identified.

ㅤㅤCreation of a sorting line – a method has been developed for sorting PET bottles by plastic type and contamination level.

ㅤㅤPartner search – connections have been established with recycling companies for further waste processing.

ㅤㅤIdentification of areas for recycled plastic use – promising applications in the agro-industrial sector have been determined (greenhouse structures, agrotextiles, packaging).

ㅤㅤFuture Development Prospects

ㅤㅤThe department will continue to evolve in line with global trends in transport and logistics. We aim to advance scientific research and innovation aimed at improving the quality of transport services, optimizing transport flows, and ensuring the sustainability of transport systems.

ㅤㅤOur primary goal is to prepare specialists who can address critical issues in developing transport infrastructure and optimizing logistics processes, contributing significantly to the sustainable development of the transport industry.

RSW

ㅤㅤCurrently, the I.V. Sakharov Department of «Transport Engineering and Technology» named after I.V. Sakharov has a scientific circle «Serpin», in which up to 20 students, from 2 to 4 courses, participate. The management of the research work of undergraduates and students is carried out by the teachers of the department through special courses, special seminars, individual consultations on research works. The results of this work are reflected in the reports at the scientific student conference and in joint publications with the leaders in the journal.

ㅤㅤThe university annually hosts International scientific and practical conferences of young scientists and traditional student scientific conferences, competitions of start–up projects. Master students are involved in SRW at the Department of «Transport Engineering and Technology» named after I.V. Sakharov. An important indicator of the effectiveness of SRW is the participation of master students of the department in the performance of contractual and search–initiative SRW conducted at the department.  According to the results of SRW, master students will reflect research in joint publications with teachers. The topics of dissertations will be updated annually by 100%. The subject of dissertation works is in line with the main scientific directions of the departments. The approval of topics and the appointment of scientific supervisors of dissertations takes place within 2 months after enrollment, all scientific supervisors have a candidate's degree, PhD or Doctor of Sciences.

ㅤㅤThe organization of SRW at the university is carried out through scientific student circles and circles of scientific and technical creativity of young people, in which students are involved.

ㅤㅤThe results of the SRWMS are reflected in the joint publications of teachers with students. Collections of student scientific papers are published annually at the university based on the results of student scientific conferences.
