The purpose of the educational program 8D085 "Energy supply and automation of agriculture" is to create conditions for effective educational process for the formation and development of personal, socio-cultural, General engineering and professional competencies in the field of energy supply and automation of agricultural processes. 

Relevance

The food independence of the state plays an important role in ensuring the state independence of Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan has a high potential to provide food to the population and export it abroad. Modern agriculture is impossible without complex electrification and automation of production processes.

One of the promising directions of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the transformation of agriculture into a high-tech industry with cutting-edge equipment and technologies in crop production and animal husbandry, meat, dairy, fat-and-oil, flour-grinding and other types of agricultural industry. New and modernizing existing enterprises of crop production, animal husbandry and processing of agricultural products are being created.

For introduction of new innovative technologies in agricultural production highly educated, competitive scientific personnel on creation and ensuring functioning of systems electro-, heat, cold, gas, water supply, and also their automation in modern conditions are necessary.
