Agreement with R-Vision to train students in the Department of Security and Information Technology

National Research University MPEI and R-Vision entered into a cooperation agreement on September 12, 2023. The partnership is designed to improve the quality of training of students at the Department of Security and Information Technology (BIT) of the university, as well as provide new opportunities for their employment and career development. The agreement provides for active interaction of the parties within the framework of the educational process and professional guidance of future specialists, as well as research activities.

One of the priority areas of cooperation will be the implementation of the internship program, thanks to which students of the Department of BIT NRU "MPEI" can undergo production practice and internship in the structural divisions of R-Vision with subsequent employment for those who have shown good results. In the summer of 2023, some students have already passed production practice at the Center for Technical Expertise of the company.

Another important aspect of the partnership was the possibility of students of NRU "MPEI" using the latest versions of specialized R-Vision software products for in-depth study and the formation of their professional competencies. Thus, even at the training stage, future specialists can gain applied skills and experience in working with cybersecurity technologies.

Joint activities also involve the participation of R-Vision experts in scientific and practical conferences, lectures, master classes and other educational events of NRU MPEI aimed at acquiring practical knowledge by students to improve professional skills.

The implementation of educational programs by universities is extremely important, since the speed of emergence of new technologies much exceeds the training time for specialists in the field of information security. Thus, the partnership with R-Vision will allow NRU MPEI to expand opportunities for effective training of students. The main areas of our interaction are joint educational and scientific events, a number of which we have already held in the summer of 2023, - commented Alexander Nevsky, head of the BIT department of the MPEI National Research University.

Cooperation with the training of qualified personnel

In 2022, the brand EKF and the National Research University MPEI signed an agreement on cooperation and EKF's entry into the Climate Transformation consortium, power industries which operates with the support of the Priority 2030 university development program. EKF announced this on June 8, 2023.

Within the framework of the approved action plan, EKF introduces students to electrical solutions, participates in the development of the laboratory base of the university, organizes practices, internships and excursions of students to production sites.

The departments of NRU "MPEI" assist in the training of qualified personnel for the company, providing a reliable personnel reserve. During career guidance events, students of electrical engineering specialties get acquainted with the leading domestic brand, better understand the structure of the electrical business, and determine the direction of their future work.

As part of the cooperation, EKF brand experts on lightning protection, earthing and impulse surge protection devices (USIP), as well as automatic reserve input systems (transfer switch) delivered a number of lectures for students of the MPEI National Research University.

During the lecture at the Department of Engineering Ecology and Labor Protection, students were able to ask the expert questions about the maintenance and operation of lightning protection systems, the cost of installation, the types of coatings and their impact on earthing. An EKF expert introduced students to comprehensive lightning protection solutions for both industrial facilities and residential and public buildings. A separate block was dedicated to the UZIP. At the end of the lecture, the speaker spoke about the attitude towards the technology of active lightning protection in different countries.

No less interest was aroused by a lecture on transfer switch for students of the Department of Electromechanics and Electrical and Electronic Devices. During the open dialogue, they got acquainted with the existing solutions for transfer switch systems, learned about the advantages of various solutions and applications. Communication with representatives of real industry motivates students to study special subjects. In addition to the technical aspects of young specialists, they were interested in how business processes were built in the company, and what professional skills would be required in future employment.

Within the framework of our cooperation, a series of events for students of the National Research University "MPEI" is planned. In the near future, EKF will organize an excursion of students to its enterprises in the Vladimir region, during which it will be possible to get acquainted with domestic production and see how the principles of ESG (English Environmental, Social, and Governance) are implemented in practice, "said Dmitry Kucherov, director of the EKF business management department.

{{quote "Within the framework of cooperation, we have planned internships of students of specialized areas of NRU" MPEI "in EKF. Already in 2023, 15 students of three MPEI departments will undergo production practice in various departments of the company. In addition, we plan to spend EKF day at our university, where the company's employees will talk about the possibilities of professional growth in the Russian company-manufacturer of electrical equipment. Together, the departments of NRU MPEI and EKF developed the concept of a number of stands, such as Lightning Protection and Earthing, Smart Home Systems and Digital Switchgear. This work has already entered the stage of developing design documentation and it is planned that in 2023 they will be transferred to the departments of NRU MPEI. Familiarity with modern equipment in the framework of laboratory work, as well as in performing master's theses, plays an important role in ensuring the quality of training of future engineers. We are glad that we have acquired a reliable strategic partner in the person of EKF and, thanks to active joint work, have already achieved good results - said Maxim Ryabchitsky, associate professor at MPEI, responsible for cooperation with the EKF brand. }}

Associate Professor MPEI robbed telephone scammers of 2.1 million rubles

Main article: Telephone fraud

A new victim of telephone scammers was a 61-year-old associate professor at the Moscow Energy Institute. During the class, his colleague entered the audience and said that soon the deputy head of their profile ministry would call the assistant professor himself.

At the end of the lecture, an unknown person really called the man in the "cart," introduced himself as an official, said that now FSB officers would contact him, and ordered them to strictly comply with all their requirements. The disgraced teacher believed that he was communicating with a man from the ministry, and then successfully went to the classic scheme with calls from "special services and the Central Bank," who advised to hide all the savings from "persons financing terrorism to a safe account."

The man removed all his savings and, as the curators ordered, threw them through an ATM onto the card of the very colleague who accompanied him on alarming "adventures." As soon as this happened, the card was blocked. As a result, the teacher lost 2.1 million rubles. Now the police are looking for fraudsters, and also find out whether the teacher's colleague turned out to be an accomplice or became a victim of deceivers himself, writes Shot.
