About faculty

Faculty of mining and processing of oil and gas formed in the South Kazakhstan State University named after M. Auezov 2002. Since August 2006, at the South Kazakhstan State University faculty formed on Oil and Gas Institute. The Institute was 6 chairs. In 2009, the month of August based on the Technical Institute and the Institute of Oil and Gas was formed by the Faculty of Construction, engineering and transportation. March 19, 2011 in order to improve the quality of education and training for faculty, Construction, Engineering and Transport was divided into two departments of "Construction and Transportation" and "Mechanics and oil and gas business." The composition of the faculty of Mechanical and Petroleum Engineering "consists of 5 departments.
1. Department of "Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering ";
2. Department "Oil and Gas Business";
3  Department "Technological machinery and equipment";
4. Department Standardization and Certification”;
5. Department of Higher Mathematics and Physics for Technical Specialties

The mission of the faculty is to train personnel for high-tech and knowledge-intensive industries in the engineering and oil and gas industry that meet the requirements of the modern market and international standards. To improve the quality of training of highly qualified specialists, bachelors and undergraduates in engineering and oil and gas specialties that meet the requirements of consumers, based on the introduction of modern educational technologies and continuous improvement of educational and methodological activities of the faculty teaching staff. To ensure the competitiveness of graduates of the faculty in the global market of educational services and the personnel market of the Republic of Kazakhstan. To ensure an increase in the growth of research activities of the faculty's teaching staff in order to integrate education, science and production. To integrate into the global educational process by establishing mutually beneficial cooperation with leading Western universities in order to conduct joint activities aimed at improving the quality of training of specialists in the engineering and oil and gas industry. To expand relations with employers in order to organize industrial practice and subsequent employment. To train specialists who harmoniously combine fundamental technical knowledge with high morality, spirituality and patriotism.

Highly qualified specialists work at 5 departments of the faculty, including 15 doctors of sciences and 39 candidates of sciences. Including laureate of the State prize in the field of science and education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Nadirov K.S., Academician of the Engineering Academy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Doctor of Technical Sciences Professor Ainabekov A.A., and laureate of the prize of the Fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Sharyktau" Ph.D., Associate Professor Zhantasov M.K., etc. More than 62% of teachers have academic and scientific degrees.

The Faculty of Mechanics and Oil and Gas Business trains specialists in 12 bachelor's degree educational programs, 8 master's degree educational programs and 2 Phd doctoral educational programs.

The contingent of students of the faculty in all forms of education is growing every year. All of them are provided with a fund of educational and methodological literature, computer classes and software, and a sufficient classroom fund. There are gyms, stadiums and swimming pools at the disposal of students.
For the advanced part of the students of our faculty, groups are open with the teaching of a number of disciplines of the curriculum in English. Classes are conducted by teachers who have a good language base, have been trained in special language courses, as well as in the linguistic center of the university.
The faculty employs permanent creative teams of various directions: choreographic ensembles, KVN (the teams "Baldyrgan" and "Corps B" are the strongest at the university and are becoming increasingly popular in the region and the republic).
Students of the faculty are members of the debate club "Akikat". We also have 3 scientific circles. And the sports team of the faculty is a multiple winner of many student sports contests.
Currently, about 1060 students study at the faculty.
It is no exaggeration to say that students of the Faculty of Mechanics and Oil and Gas Engineering are one of the most friendly teams at the university.

Specialized laboratories are functioning at the faculty for high-quality training of students in bachelor's and master's degree programs: "Simulator simulator: Overhaul of wells AMT-41", "Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering technology", "Laboratory of Machinery and Equipment technology" and computer classes. Learning "through science" is an important factor in the training of specialists. The faculty develops and operates research centers, SSS, SCB in promising areas of mechanical engineering and oil and gas business.
