According to this agreement, there will be created a branch of the NovSU Department of Mechanical Engineering at the manufacturing enterprise “Start”. As Vladimir Nikitin said, the "Start" company is in need of skilled engineering staff, especially designers and development engineers. It  is ready to give its premises, provide it with equipment and appoint experts, who will manage the branch.  On the other hand, the university needs help of experts to improve the quality of engineer training.

According to Vladimir Timofeev, the university does not have resources to update material and technical basis in accordance with contemporary requirements, but local companies have this opportunity. The great virtue of this collaboration is that practitioners will share their experience with NovSU students.
