PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS VISITING DEPARTMENTS OF THE DSEA

Within the Engineering Week project the DSEA departments invited the Kramatorsk Lyceum No. 4 "Success". School No. 4 became a lyceum recently. Its students began to participate in the city's science events, such as the Small Academy of Sciences DSEA. Not only to participate, but also to win prizes in the field of engineering.

INTRODUCTORY SEMINAR AND DISCUSSION OF ERASMUS + BIOART STUDY PROGRAM AND RESULTS OF TEACHER TRAINING IN PARTNER COUNTRIES

On March 4, 2020, a seminar was held for the first-year students of Computer Science (groups KN-19-1, KN-19-2, KN-19-1t). The seminar was conducted by the Head of Computer and Information Technology Department, Dr.Sci. Oleksandr Tarasov, and Associate Professors of the Computer and Information Technology Department I. Stashkevich and S. Hurkovska.

I. Stashkevich and S. Hurkovska informed about a new curriculum for training of Bachelor and Master Degree students in artificial implants in bioengineering, as well as about the peculiarities of the diploma protection in medical area in 2019. The students were informed in detail about the sites of practical training at diagnostic centers and hospitals of the Kramatorsk city. The benefits of training under this program and the prospects for further employment were also shown.

The Head of the Computer and Information Technology Department Dr.Sci. Oleksandr Tarasov told about the syllable and purpose of studying the disciplines of this program, about the purpose and equipment of biomechanics and bioelectronics laboratories. The courses are based on training obtained in Poland, Spain, Austria and Belgium as a part of the international ERASMUS + “BIOART” project.

In order to motivate students, a report was presented on the prospects of bioengineering development, the use of artificial implants and modern technologies for their production.
