14. Production of construction materials
Innovative sectors are defined according to the priorities set out in the conceptual and policy documents, letters and speeches of the President, in particular, the President’s of the Republic of Kazakhstan Address to people of Kazakhstan dated January 17, 2014. These sectors are: industry of mobile and multimedia technologies, nano- (innovative) and space technologies, robotics, genetic engineering, search and discovery of future energy.
ENU is working on the implementation of the tasks set by the Head of State in his message "Nurly Zhol - Path to the Future" for staff training as a part of the second five-year industrial and innovative development plan of the country. ENU is one of the 11-th universities under the SPIID-2. ENU prepares masters on two priority specialties:
- 6M073000 "Production of construction materials, products and structures"
- 6M074600 "Space engineering and technologies"
In the 4 years period ENU is planning to graduate more than 1,000 highly skilled specialists within SPIID-2 for the national economy.
In 2015, training has begun under the state order for the profile master on two specialties of SPIID-2, which were admitted to study at Master’s level of 210 students:
• Specialty 6M073000 "Production of construction materials, products and structures" – 130 students.
• Specialty 6M074600 "Space engineering and technologies" - 80 students.
In 2016 it is planned to admit about 100 masters for profile magistracy (1.5 years) for new educational programs:
