My speciality - «Industrial Design»
I am a third year student of the machine-building faculty of the Kama State Academy for Engineering and Economics. Our Academy trains specialists for many branches of industry and economy. As for me, my future speciality is Industrial Design. I find it very interesting and study with great pleasure.
Industrial Design is an exciting and rapidly growing field with a broad range of career options. The practice of industrial design combines aesthetics and technology in the total design in industry, which includes programming, planning, finishing materials, fabrics etc.
Professional training is carried out during six years according to three stages. On the first introductory stage students study artistic creative work and principles of geometric body formation. The second, the longest stage is devoted to a special training and includes acquaintance with the methods of designers' practical work. Here theoretical training in the sphere of the Humanities and Technical Sciences is held. The third stage is testing the abilities of a student and preparation to a professional independent activity - project-planning.
In the process of learning such subjects as Composition, Colouristic, Ergonomics, Drawing and Painting are regarded as the basis of Design. Students study them during four years. The major subjects are Designing and Modeling. Moreover, our study is based on the usage of computer equipment -from defining colourgraphic texture of a surface to a three-dimensional reflection of the model on a computer display in the mode of man-computer dialogue with ergonomic data.
Industrial design is both an art and a science that involved the adaptation of natural and human-made environments to the cultural, social, physiological, psychological, economic, historic, and behavioral activities of people.
The professional industrial designer is qualified by education, experience, and examination to enhance the function and quality for the purpose of improving the quality of life, increasing productivity, and protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public. In the contemporary world of business, the industrial designer plays an integral part in projecting with increased experience for individual contracting.
Having received knowledge in the sphere of Technical Aesthetics and having mastered the principles of “Computer Assisted Design and Artistic Modeling” graduates of our speciality successfully solve problems of improving all the spheres of human activity, connected with quality improvement of output and society humanization.

Моя специальность - "Промышленный дизайн"
Я - третий студент года способности машиностроения Академии государства Камы для Разработки и Экономики. Наша Академия обучает специалистов для многих отраслей промышленности и экономики. Что касается меня, моя будущая специальность - Промышленный дизайн. Я нахожу это очень интересным и учусь с большим удовольствием.
Промышленный дизайн - возбуждение и быстро растущая область с широким диапазоном вариантов карьеры. Практика промышленного дизайна комбинирует эстетику и технологию в полном проекте в промышленности, которая включает программирование, планирование, заканчивая материалы, ткани и т.д.
Профессиональное обучение выполнено в течение шести лет согласно трем стадиям. На первой вводной стадии студенты изучают артистическую творческую работу и принципы геометрического формования корпуса. Второе, самая длинная стадия посвящена специальному обучению и включает знакомство с методами практической работы проектировщиков. Здесь теоретическое обучение в сфере Гуманитарных наук и Технических Наук проведено. Третья стадия проверяет способности студента и подготовки к профессиональной независимой деятельности - планирование проекта.
В процессе изучения таких предметов как Состав Colouristic, Эргономика, Рисунок и Живопись расценены как основание Проекта. В течение четырех лет студенты изучают их. Главные предметы Проектируют и Моделируют. Кроме того, наше исследование основано на использовании компьютерного оборудования - от определения colourgraphic структура поверхности к трехмерному отражению модели на компьютерном показе в способе диалога компьютера человека с эргономическими данными.
Промышленный дизайн - и искусство и наука, которая вовлекала адаптацию естественной и сделанной человеком окружающей среды к культурным, социальным, физиологическим, психологическим, экономическим, историческим, и поведенческим действиям людей.
Профессиональный индустриальный проектировщик квалифицирован по образованию, опыту, и экспертизе, чтобы увеличить функцию и качество с целью улучшения качества жизни, увеличения производительности, и защиты здоровья, безопасности, и благосостояния общественности. В современном мире бизнеса индустриальный проектировщик играет неотъемлемую часть в проектировании с увеличенным опытом для индивидуального заключения контракта.
