The "Interfaculty Department of General Technical Sciences" was organized in March 2017 on the basis of the departments "Construction and Architecture" and "Transport Systems" and began to work with 13.5 staff units (head of the department, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Davletov I.Yu. ). The department conducts training sessions in general technical sciences in the direction of the technical and chemical-technological direction of the university.

In the 2019-2020 academic year, the department had 36 staff positions of the teaching staff of 26 main employees and 29 part-time workers (1 doctor of sciences, 8 candidates of sciences, 6 senior teachers and 23 teachers), as well as 1 head of the laboratory and 3 laboratory assistants. In order to increase the scientific potential of the department, a basic doctoral program has been opened since 2020 and one doctoral student has been accepted. 2 professors-teachers began to engage in scientific activities on the basis of independent research.

The department has agreements on research activities with foreign institutions and local universities. From foreign institutions, it cooperates with the Kumakh National Institute of Technology and the National Jeju University of the Republic of South Korea, as well as from local universities - with the National University of Uzbekistan, Tashkent State Technical University and Samarkand State University - partnerships are being carried out in scientific activities.

Currently, 7 young professors and teachers in the specialty "Laser Physics" continue their research work based on independent research. The work is carried out in the following directions: doctoral research of Associate Professor A.R. Matnazarov on the topic "Investigation of multiply charged ions of laser plasma by laser mass spectrometry", the teacher of the department Sh.A. Kadyrov in the scientific laboratory of the Department of Theoretical Physics and Quantum Electronics of Samarkand State University in the direction of "Laser spectroscopy of thermodynamic instability in liquids", A.I. Zhapakov, S.K. Atabaev, D.I. Egamberganov on the basis of independent research in the direction "Investigation of multiply charged ions of laser plasma", N.Sh. Matyakubov in the supporting doctoral studies at the National University of Jeju of the Republic of South Korea is conducting research in the direction of "Determination of the level of nitrogen oxide in the atmosphere using ion plasma" A. Bekzhanov also conducts scientific work in doctoral studies in the specialty "Mechanics".

In 2017-2020, 4 teachers of the department received international grants. In particular, the teacher of the department A. Khasanov, having taken part in the SUMRICA project of the German Volkswagen Foundation, won a grant and became the winner. The project is designed for a 3-year cooperation between universities in Germany and Central Asia. The main areas of activity: summer schools, thematic and administrative seminars, research and publications, which are carried out in three main areas:

1) land use and transport - integrated transport planning;

2) actions that harm the environment;

3) transport policy and financial issues.

The project is funded by the German Volkswagen Foundation. As part of this project, he participates in annual seminars held in Germany, Slovenia and Kyrgyzstan. 2 professors-lecturers of the department (in 2018 Masharipov R.S. - the course "Design of parts of machines and equipment", in 2020 I.Yu.Davletov - the course "Electrical and Radio Engineering") became winners, having won a grant in the program implemented by the Bureau UNESCO in the Republic of Korea initiated by UNESCO UNITWIN OCW / OER (UUOOI).

The purpose of this grant is to create open access to quality educational resources and learning materials for everyone. Also, one of the teachers of the department in 2019 took part in the announced doctoral program of the National University of Jeju of the Republic of South Korea and, having become a winner in it, namely, having won a study grant, is currently studying for a doctorate at the named university.

In addition, during 2017-2020, professors and teachers of the department prepared 2 winners of the Olympiads (Theoretical Mechanics (2018), Technical Mechanics (2019)), published 2 monographs, more than 40 articles, published more than 100 abstracts. More than 30 scientific and methodological recommendations have been published, and 7 patents have been received.

Since 2017, the department has been running a scientific and methodological seminar in the areas of "Engineering theory and practice" and "Methods of teaching general technical sciences" and a specialized scientific seminar "Actual problems of laser physics". From the 2019-2020 academic year, the department began training bachelors in the direction of education 5310700 - Electrical engineering, electromechanics and electrical technology (mechanical engineering).
