 Areas of professional activity of alumni:

• development, engineering design, installation, operation and improvement of techniques and methods of obtaining and using energy-saturated materials (explosives, gunpowder, solid rocket fuel, pyrotechnic compositions) and products based on them;

• development of technology for their industrial production, operation of automated productions, machines and apparatuses for the production of energy condensed systems, conversion and dual technologies.

Objects of professional activity of alumni:

• explosives substances and materials, gunpowders, solid rocket fuels, pyrotechnic compositions and their components, products based on energy-saturated materials;

• technological processes of energy-saturated substances and materials production;

• research tools and methods, techniques for evaluating the efficiency and practical suitability of energy-saturated materials;

• machinery and equipment, auxiliary equipment for the production of energy-saturated materials, for design, production, installation, operation and engineering maintenance.

Types of professional activity:

• production and technological;

Character of Work. Energy-saturated materials are sources of concentrated energy released in the mode of controlled combustion or detonation (explosion). These include powders, solid rocket fuels, explosives, pyrotechnic compositions, hydroreactive solid fuel compositions, etc. Energy-saturated materials form the basis of the country's defense potential. All weapons, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, based on them.

The use of energy-saturated materials has a fundamental impact on the development of science and technology, on the economy of the country and the standard of living of the population. For example, magnetically hydrodynamic generators of electric energy have been developed based on plasma powders. They allow searching the minerals at great depths, to forecast earthquakes. Energy-saturated materials are successfully used in the fight against fires, as well as adverse natural phenomena: droughts, hailstorms and avalanches. Based on energy-saturated materials, automobile airbags, catapulting systems for the aviation industry were created.

Main Disciplines: "General and Inorganic Chemistry", "Physics", "Mechanics", "Processes and Apparatus of Chemical Technology", "Chemical Technology of Energy-saturated materials", "Organic Chemistry", "Physical Chemistry", "Analytical Chemistry and Physicochemical Methods of Analysis", "Physical and Chemical Properties of Explosives, Gunpowders and Solid Rocket Fuels", "Technological Processes of Production of Energy-saturated Materials and Products", etc.
