Abstract—The paper presents a retrospective of the scientific and educational activities of the creative team from the Department of Applied Information Technologies and Programming. Established in 1980, the team of the department set a task to create a new type of specialists (problem programmers), who were skillful at methods of research and mathematical object description (including metallurgical objects), as well as computer programming. By a special order of the Ministry of Higher Education of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR), a new specialization was created on a trial basis: “Mathematical support and computers in metallurgy”, which, after the 20-year pedagogical experiment, have translated into a specialty “Information systems and technologies (branch-wise).” This department was the first to have such specialists graduate not only in the region, but also in the country, which was then adopted by other universities. The team of the newly created department was one of the first in the country to start creating mathematical metallurgical modeling, followed by simulators and training systems on its basis. An activity-based approach to learning based on a mathematical model of a specific subject area was adopted as a pedagogical concept; many years of experience in applying this approach have shown its high efficiency. For the first time in the world metallurgy, a concept and a set of models of a fundamentally new metallurgical process and a unit with elements of self-organization, which is characterized by an order of magnitude lower specific volume and one and a half times lower energy consumption, have been created. Together with the designers and specialists of West-Siberian Metal Plant (ZSMK), a large-scale pilot installation for the JER process and unit is created, on which the correctness of the proposed concept is confirmed, the main design points are worked out, and the practical feasibility of a number of new developed technologies is shown. In the creation of the new process, software tools have been developed: an interrelated process and unit algorithm, an Engineering–Metallurgy system, a complex heat transfer modeling system, and a particle level simulation system using the Monte Carlo method.
