History of the Department of PHYSICS
The Department of “Physics” was separated from the Department of “General Engineering Sciences” of the Jizzakh branch of the Tashkent Polytechnic Institute in 1979. In different years, the department was called “Physics and Electrical Power Engineering”, “Electrical Power Engineering”, “Radio Electronics”. In December 2019, the Department of “Physics” was separated from the Department of “Radio Electronics”. The Department was headed by the Candidate of Sciences in Physics and Mathematics, Professor Mustafakulov Asror Akhmedovich. Since September 2024, Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences (PhD) Akhmedov Erkin Rakhmonovich has been appointed Head of the Department of Physics. The Department has 19 professors and teachers with a staff of 9.75. Of these, 4 are Candidates of Sciences, Professors and Associate Professors, 6 are Senior Lecturers, and 10 are Assistants. The main staff consists of 12 full-time professors and 7 part-time professors. The department conducts research in 3 areas. 1. Studying the physicochemical and structural properties of crystals and polymer materials using spectroscopic methods. Professor A. Mustafakulov, associate professor S. Eshbekova, and research assistants U. Akhmadjonova, J. Ibragimov, B. Mamatkulov, Z. Kulboyev, K. Yakhshilikov are engaged in this area. 2. Problems of using modern methods of teaching physics. The head of the department E. Akhmedov, associate professors S. Ruziboyev, O. Khalilov, N. Zhurayeva, Sh. Orinov, S. Norkulov, A. Abdurakhmonov, A. Shermukhammedov are engaged in this area. 3. The tasks of monitoring and optimal management of irrigation water supply to agricultural consumers (development of a smart system) are being carried out by professors and teachers M. Eshkulov and Sh. Koshkokov on the integration of “IoT” technologies and increasing the power of semi-transparent solar panels. As a result of scientific research, this academic year, more than 25 scientific and scientific-methodological articles were published by professors and teachers in scientific journals under the Higher Attestation Commission and more than 10 scientific articles were published by professors and teachers of the department in world-renowned foreign sources Scopus and Web of Science. More than 10 textbooks were published by members of the department in different years based on the decisions of the coordinating council. In particular, in 2019, 2 textbooks were published by the Tashkent Innovative Development Publishing House. From 2020 to 2024, the department published more than 10 textbooks on Physics and Nuclear and Neutron Physics. The department teaches 5 subjects. There are syllabuses and curricula of the world's top 300 higher education institutions in these subjects, and educational and methodological complexes have been prepared on their basis. Based on the resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan PQ-2909, in 2019, 31 sets of laboratory works prepared by leading German companies worth 120 thousand euros were imported and put into operation. In 2023, 14 laboratory works worth a total of about $ 48,100.62 were imported and put into operation by the Islamic Development Bank for the Department of Mechanics. Educational and methodological instructions have been prepared for all educational and laboratory works. All conditions for laboratory work have been created in 3 training and laboratory rooms of the department, methodological instructions for each laboratory work are presented on wall stands. The lecture hall of the department is equipped with an interactive television, and all classes are conducted in a demonstrative manner using video materials, slides, and video films at the level of modern requirements.
SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS ACHIEVED IN 2022-2026
Identifying effective ways to increase the scientific potential of the department to 50 percent, developing additional measures to increase scientific potential. M. Eshkulov and Sh. Kushakov, two young, promising professors and teachers of the department, returned from scientific studies, technical research and internships at the solar panel manufacturer "Wuhan Ooitech Trading Co., Ltd" in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, People's Republic of China. Assistant Professor of the Department Eshkulov Muhriddin Urozboy oglu returned from a short-term scientific internship at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, which is included in the prestigious TOP-300 (https://www.topuniversities.com/universities/indian-institute-technology-kanpur-iitk) in the world. For the 2024/2025 academic year, 695 undergraduate students of higher education institutions were recognized as worthy of state scholarships named after the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Based on the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PF-158 dated October 16, 2024 “On measures to further improve the system of training qualified personnel in vocational education and introduce international educational programs”, work is being carried out to improve the quality of the teaching staff of the polytechnic attached to the department, to provide methodological support for the systematic implementation of work to increase the quality of education and the effectiveness of spiritual and educational work. Also, the department, on the basis of state scientific grants, contracts with industrial enterprises and organizations, trains highly qualified scientific and pedagogical personnel in relevant areas and specialties, prepares for the defense of doctoral dissertations, implements research results in practice, as well as provides practical assistance in the preparation and formalization of necessary documents on inventive and rationalization proposals. The Department aims to ensure the implementation of innovative developments developed by the professors and teachers of the department, organize international scientific and practical conferences within the department, and encourage the participation of talented students and young scientists in scientific competitions and conferences at the republican and international levels. The effective implementation of advanced pedagogical and information technologies within the disciplines taught at the Department serves as an important factor in improving the quality and efficiency of education. During the academic year, special attention was paid to the widespread use of new generation pedagogical and information technologies in order to equip students with deep theoretical and practical knowledge. Visual aids, electronic slides have been developed for all disciplines and placed in the Institute's Information Resource Center (IRC) and HEMIS system. Educational and methodological materials prepared on the basis of modern educational technologies created by the department, in particular, textbooks, methodological instructions and electronic slides, are regularly placed on the Ziyonet electronic platform. Chemistry students are fully equipped with a modern chemical laboratory and relevant laboratory equipment.
