On August 30, 2024, as part of the university celebration of "First-year Students Day," a traditional meeting between first-year students and the faculty leadership, along with the department's professors, took place.
This event provided students with an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with the teaching staff, learn about the basic rules of conduct and internal regulations. Additionally, contact information was exchanged to facilitate further communication, and several organizational issues related to the academic process were resolved.
The professors were pleased to meet the new students and expressed their hope for productive studies and successful academic activities throughout the year!
On May 22-23, 2024, in auditorium 170 of the first building, the inaugural "KPI Robotics Challenge" competitions took place in the categories "Maze" and "Robot Car Racing." The competition was organized at the initiative of the head of the engineering club "Robotics and Automation," senior lecturer at the ASNK department, Ph.D., Associate Professor Roman Galagan.
More than 10 participants took part in the competition, competing both as teams and individually. Unfortunately, certain factors prevented all participants and teams from attending, but we hope that next time, everyone interested will be able to participate.
The winners in the "Maze" category were a team consisting of third-year students from group PO-11: Nikita Biryuk, Yevheniy Petrenko, Maksym Malyutenko, and Dmytro Sudnytsyn. The robot they programmed covered the longest distance in the maze but was unable to exit it. Therefore, there is still room for improvement. It should be noted that this category turned out to be challenging for all participants this year, as no team's robot managed to complete the maze. Thus, there is a good incentive for participants in the next competition to prepare well and become the first whose robot fully navigates the maze.
The winner of "Robot Car Racing" was Yaroslav Kiris, a first-year student from group PO-31 and a member of the "Robotics and Automation" club. He created a smartphone application that allows controlling a robot car via Bluetooth and developed his own interesting control algorithm.
Congratulations to all the winners and other participants of the competition. We also thank everyone present and the supporters for creating a wonderful atmosphere.
This year, the competition was held among students of the Faculty of Instrumentation Engineering, but the next competition is planned to be open to all students of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and other universities.
So, we are looking for the next meetings and events.
Congratulations to Associate Professor of the Department of ASNDT, Oleksandr Muraviov, on winning the "Young Researcher 2023" competition!
We wish you further success in your scientific and educational activities, endless creative energy, and enthusiasm for new achievements!
Note: In addition to the main teaching work, the competition evaluated the scientific research work of candidates, the quality of supervision of student research work, publications of research results in leading scientific journals of Ukraine and the world, monographs, innovative textbooks.
We invite students from the 2nd to 4th years to participate in the "Mechanical Engineering Internship" program specializing in mechanical design engineering, offered by Ajax Systems. This program will provide a unique experience from Ajax Systems professionals to kickstart a career in a product-oriented company.
Through this internship, students will have the opportunity to:
Learn device design in SolidWorks, prototyping, and assembly of device structures.
Gain hands-on experience in creating real-world designs, devices, and components with guidance from Ajax Systems.
Receive mentorship and valuable insights from developers of innovative engineering solutions in the security sector.
Have the possibility of employment at Ajax Systems after completing the course.
Format: Offline sessions held at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI), Faculty of Instrumentation Engineering.
Who can participate: Students of engineering disciplines interested in design engineering.
During the 2024 student winter break, the Small Academy of Sciences held the GENIUS Olympiad competition for students in grades 10-10. Seven projects from 10 participants were demonstrated at the event. Associate Professor Galagan Roman Mykhailovych was invited by the organizers to participate as a judge in the Robotics category.
We express our gratitude to the organizers and all participants for their interesting projects!
On October 31, 2023, students from the 3rd and 4th years of the Faculty of Instrumentation Engineering had the opportunity to participate in an engaging soldering masterclass. The event was organized by Oleksander Povshenko, who has extensive experience in soldering microchips and teaches courses in 'Fundamentals of Robotics and Robot Programming' and 'Computer-Aided Design of Electronic Circuits.'
Prior to the masterclass, a student survey was conducted, and an impressive 95% of respondents expressed a high interest in participating.
At the beginning of the masterclass, Povshenko O. provided a comprehensive overview of soldering techniques for electronic components in modern circuits. He discussed the necessary tools and components for successful soldering. Furthermore, he demonstrated all the processes via smartphone cameras, allowing each student to see the procedures up close and receive real-time answers to their questions.
In the second part of the masterclass, students had the opportunity for hands-on soldering practice, honing the techniques taught by the Povshenko O.
The event proved to be not only informative but also enjoyable. We hope to continue organizing such activities to provide all participants with unique knowledge and valuable skills.
We invite all NDT professionals across the world to submit to the Pan-American NDT 2025 Conference.
