The paper deals with the issues of improving the quality of education at the university. The role of the material and technical support of the educational process is emphasized. The possibilities of using the modern laboratory complex "Electricity and Magnetism" are shown when conducting educational research work of students in physics. The author gave an example of experimental research on the topic "Study of the Hall effect in semiconductors." The contribution of students' educational and research work to the formation of general professional competencies is noted.

The article considers publication activity of academic and pedagogical workers of the university as an important criterion of the organization and its personnel work. Publication activity is an indirect presentation of results of employees' research work. The review of leading bases of academic citing of Russian authors, including international ones (Web of Scince, Scopus), as international publication activity shows the degree of science development in the Russian Federation in comparison with science in other countries. The article investigates the interrelation of subjective in-university assessment of the author's publication activity and objective positioning of the employee's works in academic community through local indicators of awarding and score rating fixed by the university, which in their turn can become a key administrative way of stimulating publication activity. The optimization task of creating a bonus plan for publications taking into account structural and budgetary constraints, as well as psychosocial aspects of the behavior of authors, was solved.

Biomimetic design, the use of nature to inspire solutions to engineering problems, has been practiced on an ad hoc basis throughout human history. Only recently, however, have researchers sought to develop formal tools and principles to effectively tap the wealth of design solutions found within nature. Texas A&M University is developing an undergraduate course to introduce interdisciplinary engineering students to the current concepts, principles, and methods of biomimetic design, as found in published literature. This paper seeks to concisely present the results and conclusions of the many research efforts that will be incorporated into the developing course. The research reviewed in this paper is discussed with some emphasis on its pedagogical implications. Research efforts in applying design tools such as functional modeling, analogical reasoning, and the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) to biomimicry are summarized. This paper also discusses the efforts to develop effective tools to search biological information for design inspiration. As similar courses in biomimetic design have been conducted at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Maryland, the published findings from those courses are also presented.

The present article is dedicated to the problems of the organization and planning of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes, gives grounds for the purposes and tasks of such competence-forming activity as part of the “Oriental studies” speciality program, the Russian State University for the Humanities. The article analyzes these competences, as well as forms and methods of their formation and development. The author presents demarcation of scientific knowledge and gives its characteristics: using most general qualities of a subject, objective reasoning, argumentativeness, results verifiability and reproducibility, consistency, practicality, capability to change, anticipating the future, making forecasts, methodological reflection. The author tried to analyze the reflexive component of scientific and research work of students in more detail. The article presents possible reflexive positions in the interaction between the teacher and the student and shows the dynamics of this interaction, i.e. gives a hierarchy of positions which the student can occupy in the educational process depending on how independent they are in their activity. The article also highlights the content of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes on the basis of work with foreign texts in the macro-discourse for the “Oriental studies” speciality. The given foundations of the organization and content of scientific and research work of students have been regularly used in English language classes, as well as in optional forms of scientific activity. The students have shown good results and passion for this kind of work, which confirms the correctness of this approach.

This article deals with the problem of insulating measuring weirs to avoid ice disturbances. The development of a simple method for insulating a conventional V-weir is described. This method will serve its purpose in many cases. For more difficult cases a special type of a fully insulated weir is described. The experiments described were carried out by The Division of Hydraulic Engineering, The University of Trondheim, The Norwegian Institute of Technology, at the River and Harbour Laboratory of the University, and at the IHD representative basin Sagelva.
