Teaching activities

Alexander Kirienko is a graduate of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Polotsk State University. In 2002, he defended his master's thesis. In 2005, he completed full-time postgraduate studies at Polotsk State University in the specialty 05.03.01 - "Technologies and Equipment for Mechanical and Physico-Technical Processing." His work is dedicated to a comprehensive study of the process of shape formation of surface structures during the oriented application of abrasive powders in an electrostatic field. In 2010, his dissertation underwent preliminary examination and received a positive expert opinion.
During his studies in the master's and postgraduate programs, Alexander Kirienko worked as a lecturer at the Department of Technology and Methods of Teaching, and since 2006, he has been a senior lecturer at the department. From 2010 to 2015 as deputy director of production of a private enterprise “Small Architectural Forms” received irreplaceable practical experience of management of an industrial enterprise. He was able to apply his theoretical knowledge in the fields of technology and machine tools, work organization, and team interaction in practice.
He is a promising specialist in the field of teaching metal and wood processing disciplines.
Since 2003 up to the present Alexander Kirienko supervises research work of the department and students.
Currently teaches the following disciplines:
  • Quality Management and Certification
  • Fundamentals of Intellectual Property Management
  • Technological Entrepreneurship
  • Production Technologies
  • Information Technologies
  • History of Technology
