Aviation Institute students have always been drawn to science. In the pre-war and first post-war years, circles were the only form of scientific work for students.

Student scientific circles in the departments reached their highest development by the mid-50s. During this period, a new, more effective form of scientific and technical creativity of students - the student design bureau (SDB), replaced them.

The first SDB in the UAI started working in 1959. Therefore, students N. Malakhov and R. Sunarchin designed an automatic machine for a set of spring and simple washers on a screw. Student A. Mullabaev carried out the project of modernization of one of the types of vertical milling machines. Students G.Vodovozov and G.Popov developed an automatic machine for manufacturing parts of a universal switch. These and other student scientific works were accepted for implementation at the enterprises of Bashkiria. The work of the Special Design Bureau was led by senior lecturer B.T. Gorshkov.

The work of the first SDB showed that here students get excellent opportunities for the manifestation of their creative abilities, that work in them is well combined with the profile of the future engineering specialty. The material and production base made it possible to implement (for a start, to model and mock-up) the results of development. This increased the creative activity of students.

In the 60s, the administration of the university took a course towards the development of the Special Design Bureau.
