The decree on the allocation of a grant was signed by the Governor of the Rostovskaya Region Vasily Golubev. The leadership of the university plans to continue attracting public and private funding for the development of the school in 2025.

The main goal of the advanced engineering school of DSTU is to train specialists who are able to develop intelligent customized equipment to ensure the country's food security and increase the competitiveness of the Russian agro-industrial complex on the world market. The development of an advanced engineering school contributes to strengthening the technological potential of the region and training qualified specialists for the country's agro-industrial complex.

The training program includes solving research problems to create a platform for agricultural machines, including unmanned systems. Particular attention is paid to building a new educational model for engineers and developing innovative higher education programs.

The new technical equipment of the school made it possible to significantly improve the training of engineering personnel, giving students the opportunity to implement projects with the subsequent implementation of developments in real physical samples.^[1]
