INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGIES

The Institute of Engineering Technologies dates back to 1972.

Industrial production equipment is constantly improving and becoming more complex. Technological processes, technical preparation, and the correct maintenance of equipment directly affect the level of quality of the end products, consumer satisfaction, and health. The in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the Institute’s graduates are often used in high-tech industries: the chemical industry, mechanical engineering, automotive industry, food industry, etc.

In 2007, the Institute opened a Fire Safety program.

The Institute’s staff have extensive teaching experience and scientific potential. More than 70 percent of the teaching staff have doctoral and postdoctoral degrees.

1. Among the Institute’s research areas, of particular practical relevance are:
2. development of high-tech powder mixers;
3. creation of algorithms, software, and microprocessor-based automatic devices;
4. process optimization in refrigeration systems;
5. testing rotary atomizers for heterogeneous gas-liquid systems.

The Institute has advanced facilities. It is increasingly using computer graphics using design software packages. The efficiency of the learning process is also achieved through the use of a variety of training and production equipment in laboratories and workshops.
