On the “Phystech System”, Its Implementation at the Bauman Moscow State University, and One Pedagogical Method

Abstract

The purpose of the article is a brief presentation of the “Phystech System”, features of its implementation at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, the work of one of the “basic enterprises” of the Faculty of Instrument Engineering of the University the Scientific Research Institute for Applied Mechanics named after Academician V.I. Kuznetsov in the field of innovative development of gyroscopic technology with the involvement of students to participate in the implementation of the state contract using the original pedagogical method. An example of the creation at the institute creative group of three students selected according to the criteria of the “Phystech System”, including a “personal interview” with the team leader (mentor of the “group X”), which worked effectively for five semesters, successfully completed four stages of the contract and the contract as a whole. A record result was achieved each of three students, in parallel with their studies at the university and with the fulfillment of the state contract at the institute, published more than 50 works. The essence of the pedagogical method was the complete trust in the students the “chief designers” of three new gyroscopic directions: gyros on de Broglie waves, Bose-Einstein condensate and helium superfluidity with continuous mentor support.
