Stanislav Vladimirovich Dragan was born in 1948 in the Ryazan Region. In 1972, he graduated with honors from the Shipbuilding Faculty of the Admiral S.Y. Makarov Mykolaiv Shipbuilding Institute with a degree in “Equipment and Technology of Welding Production.” That same year, he began working at the Department of Welding Production, rising through the ranks from assistant to professor.

In 1981, he defended his Ph.D. dissertation at the Bauman Moscow Higher Technical School, which focused on improving the manufacturing precision of welded ship structures made of aluminum alloys. In 1984–1985, he completed a research internship at the Technical University of Dresden on the automation and robotization of welding production. He was awarded the academic rank of associate professor in 1986 and professor at the National University of Kyiv in 2001. From 1997 to 2012, he served concurrently as head of the academic affairs department at UDMTU-NUK.
