Treasury of engineering and design ideas

Students of UTP-19-01 of the Branch of the Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NRU) named after I.M. Gubkin in Tashkent city were able to get acquainted with the achievements of engineering and technical ideas and the design ideas of mankind during a visit to the Polytechnic Museum.

As the academic supervisor of the group, Sh.A. Makhmudova, said, a scientific excursion to the Polytechnic Museum, which is a real treasury of engineering and design ideas, is considered especially useful by students on the eve of lecture courses on the subjects "Theoretical Mechanics" and "Material Resistance”.

According to the “Gubkints” of Alexander Gu, Khasan Pulatov, the students of the Turin Polytechnic Institute made the greatest impression on the ground floor: the layout of the factory in Asaka, video mapping mapping the color scheme on the Chevrolet Spark and the only “kinetic sculpture” in Central Asia whose programmed balls, moving, form the shape of the car. As the guide noted, a similar analogue is only in the BMW Museum.

The exposition of the second floor was struck by the unusual and impressive achievements of mankind in various fields of science. According to students, the collected collection will appeal not only to adults, but also to children and adolescents: after all, not every museum has the opportunity to touch and use valuable exhibits! An unusual format was also reflected in the atmosphere of the audience: children’s laughter, cheers and enthusiastic exclamations were heard everywhere, and his eyes simply ran up from all the interesting things that existed in the large-scale exhibition. Among the most memorable are a mirror labyrinth, an inverted room, a room of optical illusions, a screen with a dance floor, and a sound cannon.

In addition to the abovementioned entertaining exhibits, the “Gubkins” were demonstrated a wide variety of scientific experiments, introduced to ingenious devices, and even provided the opportunity to participate in various quests, games and puzzles, of which there were a great many.

“As future specialists of the “Operation and Maintenance of Transport and Storage Facilities for Oil and Refined Products” department, we were pleased to get acquainted with the history of mechanical engineering and the automotive industry, but, most importantly, conduct interesting physical experiments and learn about the laws of science in action”, - concluded Violetta Shafieva, a student of the group.
