On April 28, future engineering economists from the Mechanical Engineering Department, study group 10302124, along with their group supervisor, Elena Nikolaevna Kostyukevich, senior lecturer in the Department of Engineering Economics, took a tour of the Minsk Motor Plant and had the unique opportunity to see how the theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom is put into practice.
During the tour, the students visited the assembly and testing shop for three- and four-cylinder engines. Natalya Nikolaevna Belyavskaya, Lead Engineer for Personnel Training, led the tour. She immersed the students in the plant's business processes, which include all stages: from the development of design and technological documentation and the economic justification for production, to the complete assembly and testing of the engine. The plant's employees enthusiastically shared their knowledge and experience, allowing the students to gain a deeper understanding of how production processes are organized at a modern enterprise.
The students witnessed the smooth and efficient operation of the engine assembly line and were able to observe every stage of production, from component preparation to final inspection and testing of finished products in dedicated test bays. This visual representation of the technological process was not only informative but also inspiring for future specialists.
The students' dialogue with Andrey Nikolaevich Kupriyanchik, a leading engineer and technologist and candidate of technical sciences, was particularly engaging. Particular attention was paid to the plant's product sales market and cost formation. The students received answers to their questions about how modern technologies impact productivity and competitiveness, as well as strategies used for entering international markets. This knowledge will help them in future business plans and economic analysis.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the management of the Minsk Motor Plant for organizing the tour and the opportunity to gain practical knowledge. This meeting was an important step in preparing the students for their future professional careers, helping them see how theoretical knowledge can be applied in practice and inspiring new achievements in engineering and economics.
Thus, the tour of the Minsk Motor Plant was not only an educational but also a motivating experience for the students. We are confident that the knowledge and impressions gained will contribute to their future professional growth and development.
