All computers are connected to a network, which facilitates the transfer of text and graphic information (lectures, drawings) through the network.

Office № 331 is equipped with 16 computers (Lenovo Monoblock) with Microsoft Office software, ArcGis 10.5, Q-GIS (free SOFTWARE), a hinged screen with an Epson eb-w04 projector. In the geological Museum (5th floor of CSIS) there are showcases with minerals in the amount of more than 50, which are used in practical and laboratory classes in the disciplines "Geology" and"General earth science". There is a herbarium containing 105 species of plants of Kazakhstan, used for practical classes in the disciplines "Biogeography" and "plant Geography". Three-volume Atlas of Kazakhstan – 3 sets, wall maps for all disciplines of the geographical cycle.

The assessment of sufficiency and availability of resources and infrastructure of educational programs is systematically discussed and analyzed at the meeting of the department, the faculty level and the department of logistics of the university.

  The department actively reflects the processes of implementing educational programs in geography and hydrology, and publishes information about its activities within the framework of the ENU development strategy on its page (http://fen.enu.kz/subpage/kafedra-fizicheskaya-i-ekonomicheskaya-geografiya).

 

Material and technical base for master's and doctoral studies.

To implement the EP, there is a necessary classroom fund, computer classes, gyms, and a book fund. Students of EP «7M05205-Neogeography», «7М05213 - Geography», «7M01524- Training of teachers of geography», «7M05210-Hydrology» and «8D05211-Search geography and geoinformation systems», «8D05213 - Geography» have access to the use of the following objects: educational building № 3, Kazhymukan street 13, total area of 19728 sq.m, training room (sq. m.) – 5528.3: audience – 3079.2, lecture - 985.6, laboratories – 1463.5. In the process of training undergraduates and doctoral students, 6 classrooms are involved, mainly for 25 seats, 3 educational laboratories of the department of physical and economic geography - 202.9 sq. m., 3 reading rooms of the University, for 350 seats and other premises - 2915.14 sq. m.

The EP 7M05205-Neogeography», «7М05213 - Geography», «7M01524- Training of teachers of geography», «7M05210-Hydrology» and «8D05211-Search geography and geoinformation systems», «8D05213 - Geography» are equipped with the necessary classroom fund, training laboratories, computer classes (AUD. 326 and 331) for conducting research and research activities, equipped in accordance with the requirements. Office 326 is equipped with 18 computers (Pentium ® 4CPU) with Microsoft Office software, ArcGis 10.1 (ArcView), MapInfo 7 and an interactive whiteboard. All computers are connected to a network, which facilitates the transfer of text and graphic information (lectures, drawings) through the network. Office № 331 is equipped with 16 computers (Lenovo monoblock) with ArcGis 10.5 (ArcView) software, Q-GIS, and an interactive whiteboard. The assessment of sufficiency and availability of resources and infrastructure of educational programs OP «7M05205-Neogeography» and «8D05211-Search geography and geoinformation systems» is discussed and analyzed at the meeting of the department, the faculty level and the department of logistics of the university.

The department actively reflects the processes of implementing these educational programs, and publishes information on its activities within the framework of the ENU development strategy on page (http://fen.enu.kz/subpage/kafedra-fizicheskaya-i-ekonomicheskaya-geografiya ).

The criteria for monitoring compliance with the EP are sufficiency, consistency, availability of material and technical, information, and human resources. At the end of the academic year, the laboratory assistant (material responsible person together with the head of the department) collects information on the state of the material and technical base and available information resources. At the meeting of the department, the received information is discussed, and corrective actions are taken that lead to improvement of the department's activities. Every year applications are made to the public procurement department for updating educational equipment; to the scientific library for updating the fund of educational and scientific literature, as well as for replenishment and updating of information resources. According to the state of the material and technical base and available resources, an act of readiness of the department for the next academic year is drawn up. 

The steady growth of financial revenues contributes to the improvement of the material and technical base. The annual increase in the amount of funds allows us to improve the material and technical base, update educational and laboratory equipment, replenish the book fund, and develop the infrastructure of the department. The equipment of the material and technical base for the EP 7M05205-Neogeography», «7М05213 - Geography», «7M01524- Training of teachers of geography», «7M05210-Hydrology» and «8D05211-Search geography and geoinformation systems», «8D05213 - Geography»  allows you to conduct the educational process at a level that meets the requirements of state standards of postgraduate education.
