T1 IT holding and Bauman Moscow State Technical University have launched a joint laboratory focused on engineering software development and electronic device modeling. The initiative aims to transform student projects into industry-ready prototypes. This facility is the first of four that the company intends to establish in major Russian universities within the next year.
The laboratory operates under two tracks: Engineering Software Development and Electronics Engineering Analysis. A total of 41 students from the third and fourth years of the Informatics and Control Systems faculty were selected for the program. Participants utilize Taumerix, a proprietary CAE platform developed by T1 for multidisciplinary analysis in electronics and photonics.
The curriculum is integrated into the university's research work format, with specific requirements for each track. Students in the software track focus on automating engineering tasks, such as thermal management and material identification. Those in the analysis track work on optimizing circuit boards and heat dissipation systems to improve production efficiency and reduce costs.
Project defenses are scheduled for December 2026, with the best entries advancing to an engineering hackathon in March 2027. Winners will be offered paid internships at T1 to further develop their minimum viable products. The initiative addresses the industry's need for qualified specialists, as the sector faces a significant talent shortage in microelectronics.
