1. My Future Speciality is Automation
Engineering is one
of the most ancient occupations in history. Without the skills included in the
broad field of engineering our present-day civilization never could have
evolved.
An engineer is the main motive power of the technological progress. He
concerns himself with the application of science and technology to satisfy human
needs. In his work he is guided by the latest achievements of science and
technology. A modern engineer cannot do without knowledge in many fields other than those of engineering. He must get a substantial
training in subjects of his speciality as well as in such subjects as computers and
robotics, computer-aided design,
environmental engineering, management science, etc. He must have a scientific attitude, imagination,
initiative and good judgment.
Thorough knowledge of foreign languages is also quite necessary for an engineer
as a lot of complicated devices are imported from
I am a student of
In modern industry
the specialists can solve the problems of mechanization
and automation, including resources saving and computer integrated technologies
in all branches of national economy.
At present the students of the faculty have sufficient quantity of
study-rooms and laboratories fitted out with modern educational and production equipment.
A powerful computer centre linked up to the local network gives the opportunity to get acquainted with modern achievements in the field
of production
control and data-processing. There are also laboratories of industrial electronics and automated production.
Availability of the Internet allows to communicate with colleagues all
over the world and to obtain the newest
information in the field of computer technologies.
The combination of theory and practice is of great importance. While studying at the
University all students do practical work in order to get experience.
Students should not forget that only when their theoretical knowledge is
profound
enough they will succeed in practical work and vice versa. That's why the
students of our faculty do their best to become skilled specialists and take an active part the life and progress of
this country.

An engineer-educator is an
educational category of a specialist which comprises the profound engineering
training to computer technologies in managing and fundamental psychological and
pedagogical knowledge. An engineer-educator is trained to perform functions as
a teacher of computer technologies in managing, to work as a foreman of
industrial training and social educator in different vocational schools,
lyceums, training schools, colleges and institutes. The graduate of this
speciality can also work as an engineer of computer technologies in managing
and as an engineer of technical training in different enterprises.
Thorough knowledge of English
is also quite necessary for an engineer as computer program instructions, the
software itself, all the information stored in millions computers around the
world, over half the world's technical and scientific periodicals are in
English. A lot of complicated devices are imported from
At present the students of the faculty have sufficient quantity of
study-rooms and laboratories fitted out with modern educational and production equipment.
A powerful computer centre linked up to the local network gives the opportunity to get acquainted with modern achievements in the field
of computing
and data-processing.
Availability of the Internet allows to communicate with colleagues all over
the world and to obtain the newest
information in the field of computer technologies.
The combination of theory and
practice is of great importance. While studying at the University all students
do practical work in order to get experience.
Students should not forget
that only when their theoretical knowledge is profound enough they will succeed
in practical work and vice versa. That's why the students of our faculty do their
best to become skilled specialists and take an active part in the life and
progress of this country.
