DEVELOPMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH CENTER AND TRANSFER OF ITS RESULTS AND NEW KNOWLEDGE INTO TEACHING

Theoretical models of organizing research and development at technical faculties are presented.Their main advantages and disadvantages with respect to research performance and education quality are listed.The case study presents 3 main periods of the existence of one mechanical engineering research center at a technical faculty in an industrial region (from 2010 to the present).An overview of the main research results achieved, including income from contract research, is presented.An organizational change is suggested, which should bring about an improvement in the transfer of new research findings into student education.
