The article presents the analysis results of highly qualified personnel training in 2018–2020 in the field of mechanical engineering in the specialties falling within the competence of the Expert Council No. 18 of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Republic of Belarus, which showed that the most successful tasks in dissertation research are solved in the areas of developing technologies for creating: materials with gradient-oriented physical and mechanical characteristics; composite materials and protective coatings using nanoscale alloying and modifying materials; polymer materials and technologies, as well as the development of methods for assessing the durability of steel structures under their cyclic loads. However, despite the presence of a modern material and experimental base at the enterprises of the Republic of Belarus, among the applicants for academic degrees, there is a very small proportion of representatives of the real sector of the economy, training of which could make a scientific and practical contribution to machine science and provide significant support in solving the problems of ensuring the competitiveness and liquidity of products produced by successfully functioning major GDP generating domestic enterprises with production belonging mainly to the fourth technological paradigm. In fact, the main number of dissertations in these areas were executed by specialists of educational institutions and the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, which have the appropriate field of activity and research equipment.
