Kasyanova Elena Nikolaevna

Kasyanova Elena Nikolaevna serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Graphics at Siberian Federal University's Institute of Mining, Geology and Geotechnology. Born in 1965 in Tsvetnogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai, she graduated from the Krasnoyarsk Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals in 1987 with a degree in Mineral Processing and has taught descriptive geometry, engineering graphics, and computer graphics for over three decades.

Academic Background:

• 1987: Krasnoyarsk Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals (Mining Engineer-Beneficiator, Mineral Processing)
• 2002: Advanced training in "New Information Technologies for Training Specialists"
• 2010: Certificates in "Quality Management in Education" and "Project Management in Educational Activities"
• 2013: "Integration of Project Activities into Educational Process" certification
• 2017: "Management of an Educational Project" qualification

Research Focus: Dr. Kasyanova's work bridges Engineering Graphics and Mining Engineering, with dual expertise in Mine Ventilation Systems (evidenced by three patents) and Educational Technology. Her recent scholarship explores student adaptation in technical disciplines, competency-based curriculum design, and digital integration in graphics education. She employs geometric modeling and computer-aided design to solve mining engineering challenges while innovating pedagogical approaches for first-year engineering students.

Publication Trajectory: Analysis of her 31 publications reveals a strategic pivot from applied ventilation engineering (1999-2008) to educational methodology (2005-present). Her post-2010 work emphasizes electronic learning resources, with 60% of recent publications co-authored with colleagues like Morin and Gulidova. Key trends include standardization of technical documentation, spatial reasoning development, and adaptive learning systems for mining engineering graphics.

Professional Collaboration: As core faculty in Engineering Graphics, she actively contributes to curriculum development and quality assurance processes. Her textbook series "Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics" (2003-2016) demonstrates sustained collaboration with the department's pedagogical team, impacting thousands of students across Siberian Federal University's mining engineering programs.
