Applicants who graduate from school this year and want to study engineering disciplines can turn their attention to professions related to special organizational and technical systems. The structural approach to studying the material, as well as the great demand on the labor market for specialists who have received education in this area, are the main arguments for potential students looking for their own destiny and considering absolutely all professions.
Education in this specialty is far from always free, but students usually don’t feel sorry for the money spent and efforts. A large and complex curriculum requires them to study a huge number of disciplines and general scientific dogmas. As a result, a graduate of an educational institution with a similar specialty has a broad outlook, allowing him to count on getting a well-paid position.
What is this specialty?
The profession, which received code 270501 (C) “Special organizational and technical systems”, was created in order to train competent practitioners in the field of technical and special organizational systems. Engineering and informational disciplines in the training course are predominant, with special attention being paid to those of them that form and develop analytical skills.
This specialty in various varieties is present in almost all polytechnic universities of the country, as well as in colleges and other institutions that allow you to get a secondary specialized education. The duration of training can also vary and will depend on the level of knowledge and competencies that a specialist will have to have after completing the training course.
What subjects do they study?
It is not always possible to understand, studying the information on the curriculum called “Special organizational and technical systems”, what is taught on it and to what extent. In fact, everything is quite simple: students should study electronics, computer graphics, electrical engineering, as well as engineering graphics. When mastering these basic subjects, you can move on and actively study system modeling, methods of forming technical automation methods.
In the process of training, students should work with varieties of organizational and technical systems, acquire knowledge about programming, algorithmization, systemology, as well as about artificial intelligence. In parallel with this, future engineers should not only receive standard knowledge, but also constantly update them with the help of a large number of scientific journals and publications published annually on this topic.
What does the profession give?
The main question that arises for those who want to master special organizational and technical systems is: whom to work in the future? Most often, graduates have to design tools aimed at automating certain processes related to engineering. Another purpose of graduates is to monitor the work of organizational and technical systems used in production.
If a graduate has serious knowledge, he can be hired by government agencies, as well as various engineering bureaus. However, most of those who have mastered this specialty prefer to work in private areas, since earnings there are incomparably higher, and there is much more room for creativity.
Career prospects
If you well know special organizational and technical systems, who to work with and where to go after high school you are unlikely to be interested. This topic is relevant for the defense and space industries, it is there that they will await you with open arms. However, it should be borne in mind: if you connect your destiny with these industries, most likely you will be banned from traveling abroad, since the systems you have to deal with are most often protected by state secrets.
In the USSR, the owners of such important knowledge could not use the right to go to another country at all, today the situation is different. That is why some talented university graduates leave Russia and move to other countries, where they pay much more for their work. If you also think about it, it is best to leave immediately after graduation, then you can avoid a lot of difficulties.

In some universities, there are full-time departments, and there it will take six years to master the program. It is worth noting that the correspondence form of teaching systems is absent in most universities, since engineering requires a large amount of knowledge, skills, which it is simply impossible to obtain with fragmentary studies.
Specialist or Bachelor?
Despite the fact that most modern higher education institutions work according to the Bologna system, there are exceptions. These include those universities in which they teach the profession, which received the code 05/27/01 - “Special organizational and technical systems”, specialty is an important requirement here. If we compare the curricula of specialists and bachelors, we can see that the latter are in obvious loss.
We are talking about the number of hours that is devoted to specialized and general professional disciplines. This is especially true for the study of various types of graphics, systemology, programming, systems management theory, modeling and many other subjects. On the other hand, a bachelor may have less knowledge, but his diploma will be in demand abroad, and he will not have to undergo additional training, which can take a lot of time and money.
What do students think?
It is not so easy to start learning special organizational and technical systems; feedback from applicants and graduates annually confirm this.
