School of Engineering

Brief History of the school

The School of Engineering was established in the early years following the founding of the Alma-Ata Architectural and Civil Engineering Institute (AACI). In 2006, it was reorganized into the Faculty of Construction Technologies, Infrastructure, and Management. In the 2024–2025 academic year, the faculty was renamed the School of Engineering.

Throughout various years, the school was headed by renowned scientists and educators: Academician of the Engineering Academy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Сайбулатов С.Ж.; Doctor of Economic Sciences Адилов Ж.М.; Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Еспаева А.С. (in 2006); Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor Адилова Д.А. (from September 2013 to 2017); Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Омиржанова Ж.Т. (from September 2017 to December 2018); Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Естемесова А.С. (from January 2019 to 2023), and others.

Since 2025, the Dean of the School of Engineering has been Research Professor, PhD Алдунгарова Алия Кайратовна.

Throughout its history, the school has brought together a wide range of engineering disciplines, including geodesy and cartography, cadastre, building materials manufacturing, radio engineering, electronics and telecommunications, engineering in the woodworking and furniture industries, as well as construction economics and management.

A new stage in the development of the School of Engineering is associated with expanding international cooperation and modernizing educational programs. The undergraduate degree program “Geodesy and Cartography” is offered as a double-degree program in partnership with Kauno kolegija (Lithuania). Additionally, a double-degree master’s program in “Building Materials Engineering” has been developed in cooperation with Azerbaijan Architecture and Construction University.

In 2026, a new master’s degree program, “Digital Cadastre and Geospatial Analysis,” was launched, aimed at training specialists in the fields of digital cadastre, GIS technologies, and spatial analytics. An English-taught master’s program in Geodesy is also actively expanding.

In the 2025–2026 academic year, professional certification in construction cost estimation was introduced for students of the “Economics and Management in Construction” educational program. Additionally, course verification and credit transfer for specialized disciplines have been established, offering students the opportunity to earn CPA EURASIA certification in partnership with the Chamber of Professional Accountants of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Eurasian Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

The school continues to strengthen its cooperation with the Technical University of Madrid (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid), Kauno kolegija, and other international universities, actively implementing Erasmus+ programs, student and faculty academic mobility, international internships, and joint research projects. Cutting-edge technologies—such as Artificial Intelligence, GeoAI, BIM technologies, machine learning, digital modeling, satellite remote sensing, and UAV (drone) technologies—are actively integrated into the educational process.

Key achievements include the advancement of dual education, the involvement of industrial partners in curriculum development, the modernization of laboratory facilities, the implementation of virtual laboratory practicals and massive open online courses (MOOCs), as well as the active participation of students and faculty in international competitions, scientific projects, and academic mobility programs.

6B07324 Economics and Management in Construction

Level of study

☑ Bachelor’s degree                ☐ Master’s degree                ☐ Doctoral degree

 

  1. Programme Overview

The 6B07324 Economics and Management in Construction educational programme is delivered by the School of Engineering of International Educational Corporation LLP. The programme lasts four years and comprises 240 academic credits. The languages of instruction are Kazakh and Russian. Graduates are awarded a Bachelor of Engineering and Technology degree. The field of education is 6B07 Engineering, Manufacturing and Construction Industries, and the field of study is 6B073 Architecture and Construction.

The programme’s defining feature is its interdisciplinary approach. Students study construction from an engineering perspective, including construction materials and structures, construction production technology, geodesy, and building engineering systems. At the same time, they develop expertise in cost estimating, construction pricing, accounting, finance, management, and marketing. As a result, graduates can understand both technical drawings and cost estimates — a combination of skills that is consistently valued across the construction industry.

The programme is based on the current professional standards of the Republic of Kazakhstan: Construction Production Manager, Development of Construction Projects, and Accountant. The curriculum is reviewed annually by an Industry Advisory Committee comprising leaders of construction and financial organisations that employ our graduates.

  1. Programme Advantages

A degree plus professional certifications. The programme is delivered in cooperation with the Chamber of Professional Accountants of Kazakhstan, giving students an opportunity to obtain professional accountant certification while still studying. Practical training in construction cost estimating is organised jointly with Tekhnadzor Stroy KZ LLP and leads to a cost estimator certificate. Graduates therefore enter the labour market with both a university degree and professional credentials that employers can immediately recognise.

Up-to-date digital skills. Students work in a BIM environment and learn information and digital modelling of construction processes, cost-estimate development using specialised software, 1C:Accounting, business intelligence technologies, and the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and data analysis. These are among the practical skills currently expected of candidates by design and construction companies.

Individual learning pathways and real-world practice. From the second year, students choose one of three minors and develop deeper expertise in their selected area: Accounting and 1C; Digital Marketing and B2B; or Technical Mechanics and Building Information Modelling. Practical training, industrial placements, and pre-graduation internships take place at operating companies in the sector, allowing students to experience construction sites and construction economics in practice rather than only through textbooks.

A versatile qualification. Graduates are not limited to a single occupation. They can work as cost estimators for contractors, economists for developers, analysts in banks, project managers in development companies, or specialists in government bodies. The programme follows the principles of inclusive education and provides for an individual study plan, flexible assessment methods, and the option to complete up to 25% of coursework through distance learning.

Why these professionals are in demand: No construction project in Kazakhstan can proceed without cost-estimate documentation, economic justification, and budget management. These functions are required at every stage, from design through commissioning, and remain relevant in new construction, reconstruction, and building operation.

Further opportunities: Graduates may continue their studies in master’s programmes within 7M073 Architecture and Construction, including 7M07324 Economics and Management in Construction, or in Economics and Management. They can also establish their own business in the construction sector, supported by the skills developed in Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship, Business Planning, and Project Management and Start-ups.
