Mechatronics is a branch of applied robotics that combines the knowledge of precision mechanics with electronic, computer and electromechanical modules that allow you to create, operate and maintain innovative technical facilities with computer control.

Robotics is an applied science that covers the design, development and use of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensor (based on output signals) feedback and information processing of robotic technical systems (RTS). Robotics is considered to be the most popular field of mechatronics.

Educational and professional program Mechatronics and Robotics for those who want to design new models of technical systems using the latest mathematical products, engineering systems of computer-aided design and 3D modeling systems, as well as maintenance and repair of equipment and facilities of various industries. Provides an opportunity for future professionals to maintain, design, research and manufacture equipment, machines, new robots and almost any modern equipment: from space, military, aviation, automotive technology to washing machines and sewing machines.

The program consists in in-depth theoretical, special practical and research training, generalization of results of research, design decisions and is carried out in the active research environment directed on designing, operation and service of designs of the car, the equipment equipped with mechatronic and robotic means, system complexes used in the field of light industry.

The training program takes into account the specifics of the development of promising areas of mechatronics and robotics as elements of the machine-building complex, technological logistics equipment and various technical means, or controls of industrial equipment, application of leading technologies of design, calculations, 3D modeling, maintenance of various branches of machine-building complex of Ukraine. outside.

Upon graduation, students receive a diploma of European standard.

Typical initial positions of masters.

The graduate is suitable for employment at enterprises, organizations and institutions operating in the field of mechanical engineering in the following positions: design engineer (mechanic), technological engineer (mechanic), mechanical engineer, researcher, teacher, engineer, engineer for mechanization and automation of production processes; engineer for mechanization of labor-intensive processes.

Studying at the university

The educational process is accompanied by modern communication tools through the "Modular environment of the educational process KNUTD", "Electronic Journal", "Zoom", "Google Meet" and others that provide students with convenient access to electronic educational resources, including teaching materials from disciplines (lecture notes, guidelines, textbooks, manuals, presentation materials, etc.), the opportunity to submit reports, perform tests, consult with teachers on forums, learn about the schedule of classes, consultations, exams, learning outcomes and much more, which also allows you to implement continuity of distance learning even in conditions of a possible lockdown.

Practical training

At the Department of Applied Mechanics and Machines in the training of specialists in industrial engineering in-depth study of modern 3D modeling systems using CAD / CAE / CAM systems SolidWorks, CAMWorks, Creo PTC, ANSYS and Moldex 3D augmented reality technologies Vuforia Studio PTC, etc. used in the project products for various purposes (parts and mechanisms of machines, welded structures, sheet metal and plastic products, molds and other products of various complexity), industrial design and visualization.

Students are given the opportunity to take the SolidWorks Proficiency Exam and obtain the appropriate Dassault Systemes International Certificate (CSWA: Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate).

Professional disciplines are conducted in specialized classrooms, which are equipped with elements of mechatronics from Festo (Germany), Camozzi, Arduino (Italy) and robotics, industrial and mock-up microcontrollers from Arduino, various programming languages (Arduino IDE, Marzing Grlinbl, FluidBim, Diagram and others), 3D printers, etc.

In order to deepen students' knowledge of fundamental and general professional disciplines, annual internships at basic enterprises and research institutions are provided.

The level of preparation of students by the Department of Applied Mechanics and Machines is confirmed by numerous diplomas, certificates and prizes at national competitions and Olympiads, as well as high positions of graduates of previous years.
