The main directions of scientific work of the department are:

1. Research and development of new methods of control and quality management of industrial products.

2. Improving the efficiency of standardization, certification and metrological support of production.

3. Development of competitive designs of resource-saving metal-cutting tools.

4. Unconventional technologies for generating electric energy based on renewable energy sources.

5. Ensuring the technological reliability of machine parts.

The department has organized scientific and methodological and research seminars conducted by the teaching staff of the department. Topics covered: Justification of the topics of diploma projects in the direction of "Wind energy", Assessment of the formation of processing errors on metal-cutting machines and others.

In order to improve their skills, all teachers of the department regularly participate in courses, seminars held in Kazakhstan and neighboring countries.

In the direction: Development of competitive designs of resource-saving metal-cutting tools, the head of the department takes part  Itybaeva G.T., professors Musina Zh.K., Kasenov A.Zh., doctoral students Luba T.L., Iskakova D.A.

Purpose: Development of resource-saving metal-cutting tools providing high quality surface treatment of machine parts with the development of new processing methods and designs of metal-cutting tools.

Tasks:

1. Analysis of existing methods of processing external and internal surfaces of machine parts;

2. Substantiation and development of new designs of resource-saving metal-cutting tools of a new generation;

3. Development of recommendations for processing the external and internal surfaces of machine parts with resource-saving metal-cutting tools of a new generation.

Based on the results of the work done, the results were obtained:

- designs, kinematics and dynamics of the processing process with resource-saving metal-cutting tools of a new generation;

- based on experimental studies, the influence of technological factors on the quality of surface treatment of machine parts with resource-saving metal-cutting tools of a new generation has been established;

- methods of designing resource-saving metal-cutting tools of a new generation.

The practical significance lies in the fact that the designs of resource-saving metal-cutting tools of a new generation have been developed, providing improved processing quality, creating favorable cutting conditions, reducing tool material, which led to a reduction in resources and energy consumption, and, consequently, to a reduction in the cost of manufacturing tools and parts.

Intellectual property protection: Over 40 preliminary patents and innovative patents have been obtained with implementation into production and educational process.
