The Educational and Academic Innovation of the Avionics Engineering Center

Introduction

For the education of high-level professionals, the “Russian method of engineering training” was originally developed and successfully implemented at Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU). Nowadays, for implementation modern innovative technologies (Knyaginin, Meshkov, & Utolin, 2016), the Avionics Engineering Center was built as a joint project of Bauman Moscow State Technical University and Ramenskoye Design Company. In this sense, the project “Avionics Engineering Center” is a practical implementation of the method “Russian method of engineering training” in modern information society.

Avionics Engineering Center has been working on the following main research and educational directions:

• •

  Preparation of bachelors, engineers, masters and highly qualified specialists in the priority areas;

• •

  Improvement of training methods, creating a highly effective system for training technical professions;

• •

  Carrying out joint research projects;

• •

  Participation in scientific competitions, grants, awards, including Grants of Ministry of Education and Science of Russian Federation;

• •

  Joint organization of international conferences and symposia;

• •

  International cooperation, for example, international laboratory;

• •

  Organization of joint scientific journal, scientific and methodical bases;

• •

  Joint intellectual property rights (patents);

• •

  Joint participation in competitions, grants, awards and research funds.

The Equipment And Research Works Of The Center

The equipment of the Avionics Engineering Center located in three main areas:

• •

  The multipurpose multifunctional exerciser based on four-generation aircraft cabin with spread spectrum of functionality: simultaneous work for several students, practicing coalition cooperation, advanced training of flight crews under conditions that are close to combat, practicing dueling and group interaction of several aircrafts, and further complication for training purposes;

• •

  The Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at Bauman Moscow State Technical University includes several operational working stations for pilots which are adapted to current and future requirements, such as formation of flight mission during multi-conflict flight situation, coalition, interaction and formation of models of external environment;

• •

  The research is in progress with real navigation and piloting systems and platforms of modeling aerodynamic characteristics.
