The history of the “Metal Forming” Department is associated with the development of Karaganda metallurgical plant. The “Metal Forming” Department was founded in 1964. In 1965, the first set of students in “Metal forming” was carried out at the daily education. For a long time, the The “Metal Forming” Department prepared engineers in the field of “Metal forming” (with a specialization in rolling production), “Machines and technology for Metal forming” (with a specialization in forging and stamping production). In total, the Department trained more than 1,700 engineers. Many of them became well-known scientists, specialists, production managers, military.

Its first head was associate professor Burykin A. A. Further, the head of Department were Davilbekov N.H., Mirniy A.I., Dikalov B.A., Dyluk A.G., Mashekov S.A., Talmazan V.A., Lezhnev S.N., Ashkeev Zh.A., Krivtsova O.N.

From September 2019 the head of “Metal Forming” department is Akhmetova Gulzhainat Esenzholovna, PhD

Currently, the “Metal Forming” Department trains bachelors in specialties 5В073800 – “Technology of processing of materials pressure” (6B07201 – “Processing of materials by pressure») and 5В071200 – “Mechanical engineering” (6B07108 – “Forging and stamping production in mechanical engineering”), 6В07501 – «Standardization metrology and certification».

At the Department since 2001 operates a master’s degree in 6М071200 ”Mechanical engineering”. Currently, the Department prepares masters in the educational program 7M07101- “Technology for processing new structural materials” (with a training period of 1.5 years in the profiled master’s program and 2 years in scientific and pedagogical). In 2002 the first graduation of masters of engineering and technology took place.

Since 2010 operates doctoral study in the specialty “Nanomaterials and nanotechnology”, since 2019, the educational program 8D07101 – “Nanotechnology in engineering”.

The big contribution to formation and development of the Department made Burykin A. A., Davilbekov N.H., Bykhin B.B., Chumanov, Y.M., Obernikhin S.A., Guzhin S.S., Zaytsev V.S., Naizabekov A.B., Talmazan V.A., Isaenko V.V., Ashkeev Zh.A., Krivtsova O. N., Lezhnev S.N., Panin E.A.

The faculty conducts training in the Kazakh and Russian languages, full-time, correspondence, evening forms on state grants and on a paid basis. In 2000 and 2001 the first releases of engineers of the Kazakh branch were held.

Graduated with honors at the Department of education former rector of RSE on REM “KSIU”, d.t.s., Professor Naizabekov A. B., ex-vice-rector c.t.s., associate professor Lezhnev S.N. Graduates of the Department was a former rector of RSE on REM “KSIU”, d.t.s., professor Dyluk A.G., President of the Association of financial-industrial groups of Russia, doctor of technical sciences, Professor Soskovets O.N., colonel of the Russian army, candidate of military sciences Alimov M.
