The department prepares specialists in the following areas:
• Engineer with a degree in Equipment and Technology of Welding Production
• Master with a degree in Processing of Structural Materials in Mechanical Engineering (full-time education)
• Master with a degree in Welding and Related Technologies in Industry (correspondence form education)
• post-graduate student in the specialties "Technology and machines of welding production", "Powder metallurgy and composite materials".
• doctoral student in the specialties "Technology and machines of welding production", "Powder metallurgy and composite materials".
Since 2015, the department has been training specialists with the qualification "engineer" in the field of welding production for enterprises of the Republic of Belarus in the specialty 1-36 01 06 "Equipment and technology of welding production" full-time (5 years) and part-time (reduced to 4 years) form of higher education, integrated with secondary specialized education.
During the training period, future engineers gain knowledge in the areas necessary for their professional activities - the development of welding processes and equipment design. These are special disciplines: "Theory of welding processes", "Technology of fusion welding and thermal cutting", "Technology and equipment of pressure welding", "Automation of welding production", "CAD of welding production", "Design and production of welded structures", etc. Modern computer classes carry out work on the design of technological processes of welding, equipment, welded structures and fixtures. Automated control systems for welding complexes are being mastered, which form the basis of the welding production of a modern industrial enterprise. When passing production practices at the leading industrial enterprises of the republic, the necessary production experience is acquired. Deep practical training is also carried out in the laboratories of the department, equipped with modern equipment, where future engineers are involved in scientific research. After graduation, graduate engineers will be able to continue their education in the magistracy, and then in graduate school in their related specialty, followed by the defense of a dissertation in one of the new areas in the field of theory and technology of welding.
In 2013, the training of specialists in the second stage of education (master's) was opened in the specialty 1-36 80 04 Processing of structural materials in mechanical engineering (full-time education) and the specialty of practice-oriented master's program 1–36 81 03 "Welding and related technologies in industry » (correspondence form of education). Over a short period of time, more than 20 specialists have been trained, who have received the qualification of a master of technical sciences.
For many years, the department has been training highly qualified specialists through postgraduate and doctoral studies in the specialties 05.03.06 "Technology and machines of welding production" and 05.16.06 "Powder metallurgy and composite materials".
During the existence of the department, 10 employees defended doctoral dissertations, more than 120 graduate students and applicants received the degrees of candidates of technical sciences.
