Mechanical engineering technology is the direction on which the economic stability of many developed and developing countries is based, incl. and Russia. Specialists in this field make machine parts, design and build equipment, and study ways to reduce production costs while maintaining quality. So who and in what sectors can people who choose mechanical engineering work as their life’s work?
Historical reference
Scientific knowledge, which is the basis of this profession, began to be collected by humanity since ancient times - for example, the term “technology” itself first appeared in Ancient Greece (“techne”), where it meant art, skill, skill. Despite the fact that initial technical achievements quickly and firmly entered into the life of the population (for example, in the form of crafts), already in the Middle Ages there was a sharp slowdown, because the Holy Inquisition opposed new developments.
Society had to wait until the 15th-16th centuries, when the Renaissance came to Europe and then to other territories with its rapid development of technology and the appearance of original instruments. Positive changes have emerged in military and especially artillery affairs, hydraulic engineering, architecture and construction. The very attitude towards technical experience, the creation of equipment, the construction of apparatus was revised - all this began to be seen as a benefit that brought tangible benefits in “everyday affairs”.
Simple craft labor was no longer enough for people. A need arose for the construction of large and, as a rule, centralized production facilities with a division of responsibilities. Thus, the first manufactories were built in Italian cities, the designs of which were then transferred to the British, Dutch, and French. The emergence of these collective workshops made possible the further development of mechanical engineering.
Profession in modern times
In fact, process engineers of various profiles are trained in the specialty “mechanical engineering technology”. The choice of who they can work with is simply huge: designers in aviation, railway, shipbuilding and other types of industries, operators of machine tools and equipment with computer numerical control (CNC), mechanics at enterprises of mechanical engineering, metallurgy, rocket and space, defense complexes and etc.
In general, the sphere itself is divided into 3 large blocks - mechanical engineering:
- Labor-intensive, where instruments, equipment, machine tools, agricultural machines and apparatus, cars, airplanes, fighters, etc. are created. A distinctive feature of labor-intensive industries is their dependence on the availability of qualified and competent employees, therefore such complexes are usually located in large cities with a high concentration of population ( in the Russian Federation these are Moscow, Kazan, Samara).
- Metal-intensive, requiring large reserves of metals and serving heavy industry (metallurgical, energy, mining, etc.). Here specialists prepare tools for metallurgists, miners, blacksmiths, oil workers, and also develop complex large-sized automatic structures: elevators, lifting towers, cranes, conveyors, heavy excavators.
- Science-intensive, requiring reliance on the achievements of advanced science. Engineers in science-intensive fields are literally at the forefront, because their tasks include the production of innovative electrical, nuclear and space products. Most Russian factories based on the production of ultra-modern machines are located near Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, etc. “science cities” near Moscow – Zhukovsky, Zelenograd, Dubna, Korolev, Obninsk.
Where to apply
To understand what the profession of “mechanical engineering technology” is, a young person can enroll in this or a related technical specialty at both a specialized secondary and higher educational institution. The average duration of study is 3 years 10 months for secondary vocational education (according to the state educational standard number 15.02.08) and 4 years for higher professional education (according to standard number 15.07.00).
The most promising options are considered to be institutes and universities, and not technical schools and colleges. Although the latter will allow the graduate to quickly realize his own ambitions in work, experts still advise obtaining a bachelor's degree from one of the prestigious universities.
Among them are:
- MIPT - Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
- MSU - Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov.
- RSU – Russian State University of Oil and Gas named after. THEM. Gubkina.
- MEPhI - National Nuclear University.
- HSE – National University Higher School of Economics.
The educational process in the specialty “mechanical engineering technology” is structured in exactly the same way as in all other technical areas:
- In the 1st year, students study general education subjects and gain basic knowledge about the profession.
- In the 2nd year there is a deepening into specialized scientific fields. Thus, to general physics, higher mathematics, computer science, technical mechanics, cutting theory, management, metallurgy or other subjects provided for by the program are added. In the process of training and internships, the guys develop an understanding of who they want and will work in the future. If the trainees perform well, enterprises may take them on for further internship or part-time employment.
- In the 3rd and 4th years, young people study only highly specialized subjects. This could be electrical engineering, the fundamentals of technical processes in the manufacture of machines and parts, the theory and practice of economic analysis.
Responsibilities and Requirements
It becomes clear that a profession such as mechanical engineering technology is not suitable for everyone. A person must have a technical and analytical mind, a high level of attention and concentration, good memory, and spatial imagination. Discipline, perseverance, and accuracy will help you successfully complete complex processes. Due to the fact that process engineers often have to deal with large volumes of work, they need to be able to competently organize their own time in order to get the maximum benefit from it.
The responsibilities of a process engineer include:
- Development and implementation of new technological processes in the manufacture of machine parts.
- Interaction with design, reporting and other types of documentation (their use, analysis, addition of production schedules, execution, etc.).
- Designing ways to create components and blocks.
- Using specialized software to simplify your activities (for example, computer utilities “Compass” and “AutoCAD”, which allow you to model any devices in 3D mode).
- Calculation of production capacity in order to obtain data on material costs and economic profitability of the project.
- Organization and conduct of patent research.
- Identifying defects, establishing the reasons for their occurrence and taking measures to eliminate defects in manufactured products.
- Monitoring compliance with standards and regulations when using equipment by employees.
- Timely identification of systems and complexes in need of repair and notification of this to your immediate superior.
- Ensuring the overall technological safety of the enterprise.
Prospects: employment, salary, career growth
The profession of mechanical engineering technologist is stable and well-paid, because almost every workshop or production needs a universally qualified specialist of a similar profile. The average salary is 30,000-35,000 rubles, and the employee has every chance to increase this figure by increasing his own rank. In the future, a sufficient level of qualifications will provide him with a position as a workshop manager or production manager.
In educational institutions, young people receive such a wealth of knowledge that they can subsequently afford to take any of the following positions:
- sharpener;
- gear cutter;
- grinder;
- adjuster of automatic lines and machines;
- locksmith;
- turner;
- milling machine operator;
- general machine operator;
- nuclear technician;
- housing and communal services technician, etc.
Job openings for mechanical engineering technologists do not dry up, but only appear again and again, and they are offered by both domestic and foreign employers.
The acute shortage of representatives of this applied profession in the industrial sectors of the economy provides such engineers with confidence in the future, because they will definitely not be left without work.
Are you an IT parent and your child recently passed the Unified State Exam? I bet I can guess two things about you:
1.
Most likely, one of the Unified State Exam subjects was specialized mathematics,
2.
Now you and your son are wondering where to take the certificate - you want to hit the bull’s eye as much as possible with a promising university and specialty.
If I guessed right, read my article - it is just for parents who need to understand which engineering professions will be in demand in 2020.
Predicting the future of a university graduate is not so easy. Some professions will die out under the influence of widespread automation or lack of market demand, while for others there will be an oversupply and high competition. Let's take for example a popular specialty - economics. Many of the applicants, having passed the specialized mathematics, are going to study to become accountants or other financial specialists. And although the demand for them is high now, it is difficult to predict what will happen in 2020, when the student graduates and looks for a job. Everything depends on the state of our long-suffering economy.
5. Ground transport
The prospects of the industry itself do not raise any doubts - until humanity has learned to move through the air or teleport to the desired point in space, it will develop ground transport.There are two main tasks that will require engineering specialists to solve:
- Modernization of transport infrastructure. The number of cars is growing along with the welfare of the population and a decrease in bank lending rates. An increase in the number of cars with the same road capacity leads to traffic jams. In order for transport arteries to function normally, the city will modernize them by expanding, adding new levels, etc.
- Creation of new transport systems using intelligent technologies (for example, high-speed railways).
Accordingly, the need for designers, transport network safety specialists, and technicians servicing traffic control systems will increase.

Is it realistic to get a job at an energy enterprise in Irkutsk for a master’s degree in “Forecasting and strategies for the development of energy systems and complexes”? If so, which is preferable?
Good afternoon Vladimir Peregudov, I won’t speak honestly, since I don’t know how much you require specialists of this class, but if you look at this material energy in the Irkutsk region one of the best in Russia. If you have the professional skills of a specialist, then you simply cannot have problems with employment.
Go through all the HR departments that you have regarding energy, then look at the circumstances and choose what is more preferable.Hello, please tell me, is it more difficult for a girl who has completed her studies in electrical power engineering and electrical engineering to find a job than a guy? Where can I work with this education? Thank you in advance.
Hello Olga, to be honest, until today, I had not thought about this question. I can’t advise you on this topic, I can only assume that there are problems with employing a girl in a technical specialty. In my department, only men work, perhaps this is due to the fact that when applying for jobs, priority is given to men, since it is far from a female specialty. We also have girls at work, but they work in other departments (accounting, secretaries, and so on).
In any case, you won't know until you try it yourself.
If you like this business, then try and try again. Good luck in your employment.Hello, Artyom.
What subjects are needed for admission?What does an electrical service technician do?)
Hello Artem!
I just finished this specialty at Siberian Federal University. The average diploma score is 4.2.
The prospects for going into energy systems are low (salary is 12 thousand rubles, taking into account the northern coefficient and other things it will be ~20 thousand rubles).
I am considering enrolling in a master’s program as an option, either to improve my qualifications or to switch to a related profession. Could you give me any advice? Thank you!Hello, please tell me what faculty you studied at and this profession is still relevant today. My son is in 11th grade and is also faced with the question of where to go to study.
Good afternoon. Tell me, a specialist in this specialty can work as an electrician, the head of a team of electricians, and what category he has in safety. Thank you.
Hello, Artem. My son graduated with a bachelor's degree from Belgorod Technical University. Shukhova. Specialty - energy. Got a job in the Belgorod Distribution Zone. They hired installers. Now he has the 3rd category and the 4th group of admission. Low salary. Studying part-time for a master's degree. But, he says, there are no prospects in the RES, I will quit. I persuade him to be patient until he finishes his master’s degree, and then go to either Moscow or St. Petersburg. I feel sorry for him. It was difficult to study and what was the result? He doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, but with such a salary, he gives up. And why did you need to graduate from college to work as an installer? What would you recommend? Thank you
Hello. Finishing school. Grade 11. I would like to enter this field at the educational institution “Don State Technical University”. I will apply to 2 faculties:
1. Electric power and electrical engineering
2. Power engineering
Please tell me about studying at the university. This doesn't scare me much...Artyom, I want to choose the profession of electric power and electrical engineering, is it worth applying for a profession that is in demand?
Good afternoon Tell me, will a girl be comfortable in this profession or is it better not to go there?
Hello Tatyana, I will answer you instead of Artem. I am currently working as a second assistant engineer, I feel as comfortable as possible at work, and besides, half of the team is women, so if you like this profession, feel free to join the faculty.
Hello. At the moment I have applied for admission to a university in this field (energy), I’m a zero, do you think it’s worthwhile for me to study to become an electrician at the same time, since I don’t even know the basics.
Hello Artyom, I’m already graduating from an electrical college in Kazakhstan, but how can I get a better job?
Hello, I am interested in this question, what are your responsibilities?
Hello Artem, please tell me which direction is better to choose “electric power systems and networks” or “automatic power distribution networks”.
Hello Artem, could you tell me which institute is better to go to study? At the moment, I have completed 11 classes and am thinking where to go, after which higher educational institutions is our profession valued?
Igor Dunaev, at the moment here is the TOP of the best universities in the country:
Hello Nursultan, of course you can get a job at a nuclear power plant. This area is in great need of specialists of your class. When applying for a job at a nuclear power plant, you will need to prove your skills in the form of an exam to get to work. Also, upon admission, they look at the average score of the certification.
Hello, you can leave your soap, I would like to ask you about some of the subtleties of the electric power industry and chat in general, please.
Hello Olga, unfortunately I respond to email very rarely; I spend most of my time on this site. If possible, you can post any questions regarding employment in the field of electric power industry in the Russian Federation in this topic; if possible, I try to view and answer.
Can you tell us what you really found useful from the curriculum? Did you need anything for work? Is it better to spend time learning, or do you come to work and “Forget everything you learned before”?
Hello. I would like to know how much Russia needs such specialists? And I would like to repeat the question stated above, are there any problems with employment for girls? And also, I would like to know more specifically who you can work with, for example, immediately after training?
Good afternoon Ekaterina, I have been working at the Kalinin NPP for more than 5 years, there are enough professions, but no specialists. It's not about the person's gender, but more about your mindset. It so happens that men have more technical professions because it is easier for them to work with numbers. Our women also work and feel quite good. There are no problems with employment for girls. Immediately after training, I do not advise you to count on a high position, the maximum is a trainee, assistant engineer, or cadet. Since you probably haven’t had any real practice yet, don’t expect to be entrusted with serious work right away. I assure you that the employment rules are absolutely the same for both men and women.
Hello Anastasia, to be honest, it’s very strange to me why you are asking where you should go to work in your specialty. Are there power plants in your city where you live? If there is, then you need to go to the HR department and find out which vacancies are currently open, if not, it doesn’t matter, you are an engineer! This means that there should be no problems with employment; try visiting the employment center in your city and see what they can offer you. I'm sure you will succeed.
I would like to know. I’m finishing 11th grade, I can’t decide on a profession, I’m considering Moscow Power Engineering Institute as an option, two specialties: “thermal power engineering, heating engineering” and “electric power engineering, electrical engineering.” After studying in this field, will I be able to work and provide for my family in Moscow? having sufficiency.
Hello Dmitry, I very much doubt that salaries in the capital are lower or even at the same level as in the regions. For how long I have been working in the Leningrad region, I cannot say what salaries are in Moscow, but I was on a business trip in Moscow for advanced training courses and from colleagues who work in your region I learned that an average specialist (2-3 years of work experience) receives around 150,000 rubles. Then everything depends on your competencies, I am sure that this salary is far from the limit, we have some who receive 300,000 rubles.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to tell you whether you can provide for your family, since everyone has their own wealth in life, someone lives on 30,000 rubles a month and feels good, and someone feels bad even on 3,000,000.
Good afternoon My daughter is studying in the 1st year of “Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering” at ZabSU (Polyten) in Chita. The subject “Materials Science” has begun, it is very difficult... and then there will be others. Wants to transfer... is it worth it or not? We don’t know what to do, studying is very difficult. Can you recommend anything?
Hello Elena, maybe you should look in the other direction? Why did your child choose this particular specialty? Usually, during a child’s time at school, you can understand what she likes best. If your child loves the humanities more, then it is necessary to change the specialty.
It’s good that you are still in your first year; you can easily transfer to other faculties, since the preparation up to the second year is the same for almost all faculties.
Hello Georgy, it actually depends on the region where you are going to get a job. Both specialties are quite prestigious and highly paid in the future. See for yourself what you like to do more. From my experience, I would choose “electrical power engineering”.
Hello Artem. Please tell me, when enrolling in the Faculty of Electrical Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering, do I also need to choose a training profile? On the websites of some universities in this area of training they write in the additional information the following profile: automation and electric drive; and some say nothing about the profile. How to figure out where and what kind of specialists are trained?
Good evening Eduard, I think it would be better to address this question to admissions committee of the educational institution which you are going to enroll in, since each university has its own nuances for admission. They must provide you with all the necessary information in full, this is their job. From practice, I will say that most websites of higher educational institutions indicate no more than 40% of the information that is actually available. In order not to guess, just call the phone number listed on the university website and clarify your questions.
Very often, universities hold an open day for applicants before admission, where you can get a lot of information regarding faculties and specialties.
Hello Artem. Please tell me where I can go for higher education if I complete my secondary education as an electrical technician (by industry).
And what kind of specialty would YOU recommend in this area (electricity supply).
Good afternoon Dmitry, I already wrote about higher educational institutions at the very beginning of the discussions on this post. For me personally, the specialty “Thermal Power Engineering” is more interesting, choose according to your preferences, it will be more correct. Doing something that is not very interesting to you is the main mistake of today's youth.
Hello, I graduated from a vocational school in 2006, worked as a turner, I like the work, but I want to transfer my energy to the energy sector, since this topic is interesting and promising. I understand that this is not easy, even just remembering the eleventh grade curriculum will be difficult, but I have the brains, the desire to direct my potential to the benefit of society is more than enough, but I want to ask experienced people, where to start? Direction - alternative energy, design, management. Tell me where I can get the necessary knowledge in a quality manner? In the future, I am considering working in large international corporations. What do you say, dear ones, is it worth trying, or is it too late?
Vadim, there will always be a need for competent energy specialists. If you have a desire, then get started! Of course, it won’t be easy at first; Moscow wasn’t built in a day either. If it’s hard for you, it means you’re going the right way. In general, I believe that a person should develop throughout his life; if he doesn’t go forward, then he’s either standing still or going backward, which has a very bad effect on him. You have very good intentions, look in the “design” area. Of course, you will also need to select higher specialized education in this field.
Where does this attitude towards women and girls come from? I keep repeating, choose what interests you the most. From my surroundings, girls are not very interested in working with the electrical power industry, which is why they choose professions that are more suitable for them. There are also quite experienced female engineers who are in no way inferior to men.
A power engineering specialist is a specialized master who understands the technology of production of structural parts, metrology and thermodynamic standardization. Employment in the energy sector promises good income. Therefore, experienced workers are highly valued.
So how much does a power engineering expert earn?

In the automotive segment, labor tariffs are also high. Leading design engineers can count on a monthly profit in the range 50-120 thousand rubles. The aircraft industry is not lagging behind - from 45,000 ₱ / 671 USD
It is absolutely impossible without the use of a wide variety of energy resources, which people have learned to actively extract both from the bowels of the earth and from other sources. This is how it has always been and this is how it is now. At the same time, the issue of developing auxiliary devices and mechanisms that help people carry out such activities is especially acute today. Entire research institutes and specialized enterprises are working on the development of power units. Therefore, it is not surprising that power engineering remains a priority for many countries of the world, including Russia, because the development of this strategically important area can bring the state to a fundamentally new level of technological and
Industry Brief
Power engineering is a powerful division of industry, specializing in the creation of parts, components and assemblies for nuclear energy, various power plants, boiler houses and other similar installations.
It is noteworthy that even in conditions of a severe economic crisis, this industry continued its work, although it slightly reduced production volumes. This fact is not surprising, since the need for technology in this area remains at the same level.
Russian power
The power engineering industry of the Russian Federation is represented by a fairly large number of enterprises (more than 50). The work of domestic machine builders, of course, experiences some difficulties due to the presence of stable technological connections and a lack of modernization, however, work in this direction is being carried out quite actively and one might even say successfully. The availability of retraining of old personnel and the selection of young and energetic specialists, contact with foreign partners - all this together allows for long-term planning of the development of the industry with firm confidence in its stable progress.
Personnel potential
There are several universities operating throughout the country, where “power engineering” is a specialty that educates thousands of students. The educational process is focused on studying the leading innovations in the world's creation of energy-generating facilities. The best students undergo internships abroad. Many young energy engineers upon graduation become employees of machine-building enterprises, making their contribution to their progress.
Moscow region giant
The Chekhov Power Engineering Plant is located 70 km south of Moscow. Its history as an enterprise began back in September 1942. The plant had a significant impact on the process of restoration of post-war thermal power plants, which were almost all destroyed and could not perform their functions. The main vectors of activity of this strategically important facility are:
The Chekhov Power Engineering Plant develops and produces components for working media “steam” and “water”, thereby helping the development of chemical, oil and gas and other industries. The working pressure of the plant's fittings can withstand up to 400 atmospheres and temperatures up to 650 degrees Celsius.
The parts produced include:
- Valves.
- Check valves.
- Safety valves.
- Pulse valves.
- Throttle control equipment
The entire list of components coming off the plant’s assembly line undergoes strict technical control and is in accordance with international standards.
Partner for oil and gas workers
The Penza Power Engineering Plant actively cooperates with the giants of the Russian economy: Rosneft, Lukoil, Bashneft and others. In addition, the plant’s products are used in metallurgy and other energy-intensive facilities.
In general, the Penza Power Engineering Plant produces a wide range of equipment, namely:
- Various capacitive devices designed for pressure within 200 atmospheres.
- Capacitive equipment.
- Equipment for a variety of tanks.
- Shut-off pipeline valves.
The company's work is focused not only on the domestic market, but also on customers from abroad.
Altai industrial engine
The Barnaul Power Engineering Plant is today one of the most modern and developed enterprises in the Altai region. The plant supplies draft machines (smoke exhausters and fans). The quality of the company's products is confirmed by international quality certificates, as well as the corresponding permit from Rostechnadzor.
The Barnaul Power Engineering Plant has the widest geography of supplies of manufactured equipment, which, in addition to Russia, is supplied to Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Spain, Germany, Finland, Mexico, Armenia, India, Holland, USA, Great Britain, Poland, Switzerland, Belgium, Greece.
The company's product range includes the following products:
Smoke exhausters of various specializations (for hot gases, mill, special and others).
Fans.
Exhausters.
Liquid lubrication stations.
Coils.
Collectors.
Non-standard products and spare parts.
The plant's management is making efforts to ensure that the range of manufactured units expands as much as possible, and that fixed assets are updated regularly.
The authority of Russian engineers
It is known that power engineering is a specialty in demand in the engineering environment. And therefore it becomes clear that a highly qualified specialist in this field will always be provided with a well-paid job. Domestic developers have proven themselves well among professionals and enjoy well-deserved respect among foreign colleagues. Some new Russian-made products today are leaders that have no analogues in the world.
Any Russian power engineering plant in modern conditions considers it particularly important and possible to introduce completely new production capacities to ensure the competitiveness of the enterprise. Such steps invariably lead to a positive result.
State priorities
Let us note that power engineering is a source of revenue for the state budget, the contribution of which is difficult to overestimate. Thanks to the sale of products abroad, foreign exchange earnings are generated, which have a positive effect on the solvency and economic power of the country. The state leadership pays close attention to the development of the industry, supporting its progressive dynamics by adopting the most important regulations. Thus, on April 15, 2014, a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation was approved, in which the main theses and directions for increasing the level of technical re-equipment and entering a new stage of modernization of old equipment were announced.
