The St. Petersburg enterprise ODK-Klimov has completed the career guidance project "Engineering Classes". Throughout the year, schoolchildren were taught how to work in the "Kompas 3D" program, the basics of thermodynamics, robotics, and programming.
During the classes, 8th-10th grade students created 3D models of a twin-spool engine, a combustion chamber, and a gearbox. They also printed a simplified model of the PD-14 engine on a 3D printer.
Lyudmila Strugova, HR Director of ODK-Klimov, explained that the main goal of the project is early career guidance for schoolchildren, fostering their interest in engineering specialties.
We are confident that today's schoolchildren will become competent specialists in the future, ready to immediately join ODK-Klimov.
Modern engine building is moving towards additive technologies and digital models. However, aircraft manufacturing still cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence and automation, warned a 6th-grade turner.
