The article about that aroused keen interest among visitors. The material was based on a study conducted by the administration of the Hi-Tech Park in May 2010 among its residents. We have already found out which universities supply most of the personnel to our IT companies, and now it's time to delve into the topic and find out which faculties, according to the HTP, prepare the best specialists. It goes without saying that the above statistics do not mean that you can study to become a business analyst only in such and such a specific place, or such and such a faculty is “good” and such and such is “bad” - the future of a specialist always depends primarily on himself and his desire to learn. Nevertheless, this information is quite interesting and allows us to analyze the current situation in our education. “One of the objectives of the study for us was not only to understand "Who trains personnel for the Hi-Tech Park?", but also to determine, together with the heads of our companies, the best faculties that train specialized IT specialists,- says the deputy director of administration of the HTP Martinkevich Alexander Mikhailovich. – This is important for two reasons. First, today the Hi-Tech Park actively cooperates with technical universities and invests real money in opening joint laboratories, conducting trainings for teachers, and educating students. By investing money, our companies would like to receive a guaranteed income in the form of trained specialists. It's like on financial market there are the most profitable instruments. The results of the survey made it possible to determine the best faculties in terms of training various specialists: system architects, system analysts, etc. Secondly, the information received was extremely important as input data for a new improvement project educational standards by specialty higher education taking into account the new positions of specialists employed in the development, implementation and maintenance of information systems and technologies included in the ESKD. An example is a technical writer. Not a single university trains such specialists today. However, the HTP alone in 2010 will require at least 60 technical writers. It was necessary to determine in which university to begin their training. Proposals were made to do this on the basis of technical faculties. But the survey showed that the vast majority of our companies (48% of those surveyed) believe that the best technical writers come from MSLU graduates. Therefore, at present, with the help of the experts of the Park, a draft program for the training of technical writers is being developed, which will soon appear at the Faculty of Intercultural Communications of MSLU” .

Let's move on to the survey results. Let's start with the top positions of the production cycle itself, which require the deepest knowledge and good preparation.

The undisputed leader in this segment is the faculty applied mathematics and informatics of BSU. And competent team leaders, and smart project managers, and good system architects, according to the interviewed representatives of companies, come out first of all from the walls of the FPMI. FPMI, jokingly referred to by students as the “Lost Youth Faculty” due to its rather complex course program, is generally almost always at the top of the preference lists of companies, as the data show. As, however, and the Faculty of Computer Networks and Systems of BSUIR. It is followed by FITU from the same BSUIR and FITR from BNTU. It is worth noting that the latter is the only faculty in the lists for top positions not from BSU or BSUIR. The rating of other faculties of BSU is surprisingly low - only Mekhmat gets into the top five, and the same faculty of radiophysics and electronics is mentioned sporadically. Team Leader

5	BSU	MMF	6,90%
6	BSUIR	IEF	3,45%

All the same leaders in the market of specialists of the "middle" level in the hierarchy, in particular in the most massive class of software engineers, as well as system analysts.

5	BSU	MMF	6,56%
6	BSUIR	IEF	4,92%

Our business analysts are also graduates of the main technical faculties, since they actually come from the circle of programmers who, due to the interest of the market and their own worldview, had to retrain themselves to some extent. Business analyst

6	BNTU	FITR	8,16%

But, as for QA engineers, here the Faculty of Information Technology and Robotics of BNTU burst into the lead somewhat unexpectedly. KSiS and FPMI rolled back to third and fourth place, respectively. QA engineer

8	BSUIR	IEF	4,08%

Another surprise is the popularity of mekhmat for web designers. It is clear that now every second person who has installed Photoshop or an illustrator automatically considers himself a designer, and far from all, even good, specialists working in the industry have a profile education, but still, why the Mekhmat remains a mystery. The second place rightfully belongs to the Faculty of Design of the Academy of Arts. web designer

Not developers

For the training of specialists not directly related to software development, we are primarily responsible for "inyaz". It is the IT sector, as a fairly rich industry, that increasingly attracts graduates with translation diplomas. Accordingly, companies are oriented primarily to MSLU as a source of technical writers and marketing managers. Our industry is primarily focused on the US markets and Western Europe, which means that companies need people with high-quality language, which is enough not only to “explain”, but also to do it in good English or German. Thus, to some extent, justifying higher rates compared to, for example, China, for example, where they often do not bother about the literary nature of their letters, documentation, and websites.

If we talk about other IT specialties, then the rankings of universities where they are trained in the best way look like this:

Conclusion

In general, Belarusian companies prefer to see in their ranks in almost all positions, first of all, graduates of three or four leading faculties - FPMI BSU, KSiS and FITU BSUIR, as well as FITR BNTU. The image of the main forges of intelligent IT specialists of the first two of the above faculties is beyond doubt so much that, for example, they want to see graduates from the FPMI even as marketing managers, although, frankly, in order to be engaged in sales and marketing, it is not at all necessary to study higher mathematics for five years. Somewhat surprising is the low level of trust and the small amount of hopes for the other faculties of the natural profile of BSU: the Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Radiophysics and Electronics are found in the top lists only occasionally. However, software development will not be conducted by the diploma itself, and, unfortunately, there are no guarantees that the same representative of FPMI or KSIS will become an intelligent programmer or system analyst. Unfortunately, the quality of students and graduates of even one faculty fluctuates quite strongly in our country.

The Faculty of Engineering and Economics was founded in 1994. Today it is educational and science Center with over 1300 students. The faculty has 115 teachers, including 3 professors (of which one is a doctor of science) and 36 associate professors (of which 34 are candidates of science).

Faculty deans:

• 1994-2005 - Afitov Eduard Andreevich, candidate economic sciences, docent;
• 2005-2009 - Zhivitskaya Elena Nikolaevna, candidate technical sciences, docent;
• since 2009 - Knyazeva Lyudmila Pavlovna, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Associate Professor

The Faculty of Engineering and Economics trains specialists with integrated knowledge in the field of economics and modern information technologies, which favorably distinguishes specialists trained at our faculty from graduates of economic faculties of other educational institutions of the Republic of Belarus. The degree of prevalence of certain knowledge depends on the specialty.

The training of specialists at the first stage of higher education is carried out in the following specialties that are in demand in the field of economics:

Graduates of the faculty receive one of 4 qualifications: engineer-programmer-economist, economist-programmer, system programmer-logistics, marketer-programmer. If desired, students of the faculty have the opportunity to receive an additional military specialty and become reserve officers.

AT studying proccess involved teachers from 23 departments of BSUIR, as well as a number of leading educational and scientific institutions in Minsk. The students of the faculty, along with the study of social, humanitarian, general scientific disciplines, deeply study general professional economic disciplines(micro-macroeconomics, finance and credit, accounting, analysis economic activity etc.), and then, depending on the chosen profile, special disciplines (management, marketing, logistics, personnel management and foreign economic activity, strategic and innovative management, etc.), and also receive deep knowledge in the field of computer technologies for processing economic information (computer information technologies, object-oriented design and programming, system analysis and design of information systems, development of information systems for the Internet, etc.). This gives them a significant competitive advantage in employment compared to other graduates. economic universities and faculties. They are in demand for work in various services of enterprises and organizations of various forms of ownership.

The faculty has educational laboratories equipped with modern computers with appropriate software, is connected to the Internet, has a local network, electronic library which allows you to effectively organize the educational process, quickly and efficiently obtain the necessary knowledge and apply it in practice. Teachers of the departments involve students, undergraduates and graduate students of the faculty in research work, participate in symposiums and conferences various levels. Teachers, graduate students and students of the faculty undergo educational and research internships in Germany and other foreign countries.

And if last time two oldest faculties were presented, today we are getting acquainted with the youngest ones.

The Faculty of Engineering and Economics of BSUIR is the youngest and one of the most prestigious, since integrated knowledge in the field of economics and modern information technology provides graduates with a great competitive advantage in employment. In the curriculum: social and humanitarian, general scientific and economic disciplines; computer technologies for processing economic information; enterprise management, marketing, logistics, personnel management and foreign economic activity of the enterprise, strategic and innovative management. How much one or another knowledge prevails depends on the specialty.

« Information Systems and technology in the economy"

Along with the basic engineering disciplines in this specialty, extended training is provided in the field of programming and information technology, disciplines of economic and mathematical profile are studied. These specialists (qualification - software engineer-economist) can work as developers of software information systems, system analysts, designers of systems focused on the automation of economic processes, economists in economic and technical departments, in the field of management. Knowledge in the field of information technology and programming, mathematics and economics guarantees them an interesting job at enterprises, banks, scientific institutions, universities, commercial structures.

"Economics and organization of production"

The professional level of training allows you to combine engineering training with knowledge of the economy in a market environment, as well as the ability to improve the efficiency of an enterprise using management methods and the concept of logistics.

Cooperation

The Department of Economic Informatics cooperates with other departments and higher educational institutions republics. The best teachers and specialists of BSUIR and other universities, professional programmers are involved in reading special disciplines. For a number of years, contacts have been maintained with the University of Wuppertal (Germany). Students get the opportunity to do an internship abroad, including at this university.

90% of future IT professionals dine at the nearby Neighbors store. Recently, due to the financial crisis, the quality of food and the range of goods have fallen sharply, but the Isites do not lose faith in better times.

As a result of the demolition of two stalls near the fourth building, where you could always buy hamburgers, pasties and cheap cigarettes, queues at the Neighbors store increased by an average of one and a half times

The salesgirls at the Neighbors have university break schedules to be ready for an attack.
