The department of technological equipment and computer technology design qualifies specialists in the specialty:

1. Bachelor Educational Degree: 133 - «Sectoral engineering» according to educational program «Engineering of food and biotechnological productions»
2. Master's Educational Degree: «Sectoral engineering» according to educational program «Engineering of food productions»

The department qualifies Doctors of Philosophical Sciences and Doctors of Sciences in the specialty 133 «Sectoral engineering».

The department has the annual admission of students for full-time and distance learning. Postgraduate college and technical schools students enter the 2nd-3rd year of studying in a short program based on the results of the vocational examination. Graduates from other colleges and technical schools also have the possibility to study in a short program.

Over the years of its existence the department has qualified approximately a couple of thousand highly qualified specialists.

Graduates of the department has the wide range of future employment area:

• Food industry enterprises and sectoral engineering
• Information systems and technologies area
• CAD design technologies
• Construction, modeling, installation and technical service of food industry equipment
• Production management
• Design and technical audit of food industry enterprises
• Scientific, pedagogical and administrative management activity.

In the department there is an operating centre of computed-aided design, which is equipped with the latest computer technology. New learning technologies are constantly being introduced based on the use of modern software and technical courseware. All term and diploma papers and master's theses are written by students using computer-aided design systems. The department has three specialized training laboratories equipped with appropriate electronic demonstration stands, equipment mock-ups and laboratory equipment. Students undergo practical training in modern enterprises, carry out real graduation projects and master's theses.

The educational process at the department is provided with modern textbooks, teaching materials, lecture notes and other educational and methodical developments.

Educational disciplines

Members of the department made a significant contribution to the development of theoretical foundations of processes and the creation of efficient equipment for food industry during the years of existence of the department.

The main directions of scientific work of the department are determined by promising industry requirements:

• intensification of processes and equipment improvement in various branches of the food and processing industry;
• modeling of technological processes of food production;
• application of nanotechnology in food and processing industries;
• application of modern baroque and electromembrane processes in the technologies of concentration and purification of biological liquids.

At the department there are scientific schools:

The department closely cooperates with scientific institutions and higher educational institutions of Poland, Serbia, Germany, Belarus, Bulgaria and with academic institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

According to the results of scientific work the department publishes monographs, receives Ukrainian patents for inventions and utility models, publishes articles in domestic and foreign professional journals. Part of the research is patented in the USA, France, Belgium, Germany and Russia. The scientific achievements of the department were presented at the General Assembly of the International Commission on Sugar Technology (CITS) in Munich, Antwerp, Madrid; at scientific conferences in Havana, Plovdiv, Minsk, Izmir, Kemerovo, Krasnodar, Budapest and others.

Scientific developments of the department have become widely used in industry. Among them: vacuum devices of continuous and periodic action; diffusion apparatuses and their transport systems; admixture traps in the process of sugar beet transportation; modernized beet sticks; dryers of friable and liquid food products, etc.

Students take an active part in the scientific work of the department. Each year, with the participation of students, about 20-25 security documents are received for an invention and for a useful model. Every year, at least 40 students participate in scientific conferences, publishing at least 15 articles in their own right and in co-authorship with the academic staff.

The staff of the department of technological equipment and computer technology of design drawing on the experience gained, directs its activities to ensure high standards of education and training of highly skilled specialists for the development of the Ukrainian economy.
