FACULTY OF AUTOMATION AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING

The Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering is one of the largest NSTU faculties. The faculty was set up in 1963. It comprised three departments at that time. These were the Department of Automation and Teleautomatics; Electric Metering Technology; and Mathematical and Calculating Machines and Devices.

Since 1994 the Faculty has been located in the seventh teaching block, being the only faculty occupying a separate building.

At present the faculty comprises six major departments awarding degrees. These are the following ones: Department of Automation; Department of Instrumentation; Department of Automated Control Systems; Department of Computer Engineering; Department of Data Collection and Data Processing Systems; Department of Network Information Technologies.

Students are given an opportunity not only to obtain the most up-to-date knowledge in the area chosen, but also to carry out research and participate in engineering developments. The Faculty has about 40 instructional and research laboratories and computer classrooms, among these "SIEMENS" training centre and "AEG-Modicon-Schneider" training centre.

The Faculty offers multi-level system of training awarding Bachelor's, Master's and Engineer's degrees. The Bachelor degree is awarded after 4 years of study, Engineer's degree after 5.5 years, and Master's degree after six years of study.

The teaching staff are 110 teachers and professors. The faculty offers Bachelor's and Master's degrees in the fields of automation and control; instrument engineering; information science and computer engineering; and biomedical engineering. Engineer's degrees are awarded in the fields of biotechnical and medical apparatuses and systems; control and informatics in engineering systems; off-line information and control systems; computers, complexes, systems, and networks; computer-aided data processing and control systems; computer-aided design systems; software for computer technology and computer-aided systems; computer-aided systems information security.

Besides, some departments give training in additional area thus expanding the student's major field.

More than 1000 international students study at the Faculty.

Students acquire fundamental knowledge and practical training in various fields of science and engineering related to data processing, theory of control, design of various instruments and devices.
