* The department trains specialists in the following fields:
- 5340200 - Construction of buildings and structures (industrial and civil buildings)
- 5341800 - Technology of wall and finishing construction materials
Currently, 375 full-time and 276 part-time students are enrolled in these specialties.
ONGOING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
* In 2021-2022, department staff produced 7 textbooks, 4 teaching manuals, 4 monographs, 2 patents, and 14 electronic textbooks.
* Department staff published 9 articles in Web of Science/Scopus-indexed journals, 13 articles in international scientific journals, 6 in journals recognized by the Academic Council, 8 articles in international conferences, and 24 articles and theses in national and university conferences.
* Currently, department staff and students are conducting research on the following topics:
- Developing dry mixtures based on local materials for the restoration of architectural monuments;
- Improving soil strength under loose soil conditions by cementing methods;
- Studying possibilities for green roofs in Uzbekistan and developing their comprehensive indicators;
- Improving thermal conductivity properties of external wall panels;
- Optimizing concreting technology in hot climates;
- Developing effective solutions using plasticizers to improve concrete properties.
Research led by Head of Department I.I.Tojiev, on "Modified gypsum mixtures in architectural monument restoration (case study: Bukhara)," studied constructions used in unique buildings and the materials in brickwork. Based on samples from historical monuments, chemical composition and mechanical properties of mixtures were analyzed, and new modified gypsum mixtures were developed and tested. The PhD dissertation was successfully defended, and results are used in monument restoration.
* Currently, 5 staff members without academic degrees conduct independent research. Their supervisors and research topics have been approved and published by the Academic Council. Two of them are planned for defense by the end of 2022.
* Department Assistant Safarov Uchqun Isroilovich prepared his dissertation on "Dynamic processes in cylindrical shells interacting with the environment," scheduled for defense by the end of 2022.

RESEARCH PROJECTS UNDERWAY

   Currently, the "Construction of Buildings and Structures" department collaborates with more than 10 higher education institutions and leading enterprises in Uzbekistan and abroad. In particular, the department has signed Agreement No. 369-193/07 with Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (NIU MGSU) for joint activities.
According to this agreement, the leading Russian construction university and the department conduct planned activities for faculty development, organizing student internships, and student exchange programs.

   To improve the quality of education through collaboration with modern high-tech manufacturing enterprises, a contract has been signed with IP OOO “KNAUF GIPS BUKHARA,” a German production company. Our department's faculty and students actively participate in conferences and events organized by the company, gaining recognition and prestigious positions.

   To provide employment for the department’s 4th-year graduates and establish future cooperation, an agreement was signed with the Romitan branch of the Chinese company “China Railway 20 Bureau Group Corporation” DM.

   Within the framework of the joint program to ensure employment for graduating students, meetings were organized between students of the “Construction of Buildings and Structures” program at Bukhara Engineering-Technological Institute and the representatives of Chinese companies in Uzbekistan. In the future, cooperation between the department and several Chinese companies will continue, including joint staff training programs.
Under the cooperation agreement with China Railway 20 Bureau Group Corporation, 20 graduating students of the Architecture and Construction Faculty’s “Construction of Buildings and Structures” program have been involved since March 12 in the reconstruction project of the A-380 Guzor-Bukhara-Nukus-Beynau highway.
