Ekaterina Yamkovaya

She graduated from the department in June 2014. I would like to thank the wonderful teaching staff of the ATEP department headed by Yuri Mikhailovich Kovrigo for the amazingly rich and useful 6 years spent at the Department of Automation of Heat Power Processes (ATEP).

The curriculum, in my opinion, is the most interesting at the faculty, since in addition to theoretical knowledge, I had the opportunity to gain very useful practical knowledge and skills that helped me with employment and further work. This is not to say that the program is easy (especially for a girl, a graduate of a humanitarian gymnasium), since it combines design, computer technology, instrumentation and programming, but it is not impossible either. One of the main advantages of this versatile program is the fact that a very solid foundation (knowledge base) is laid in the graduate, which is then easy to apply and get a job in different industries. There is also an opportunity to participate in various conferences and exhibitions.

The equipment and premises at the department are regularly updated every year. Students of the department work not only on “antediluvian” equipment (although these skills are very important, since, unfortunately, not all production facilities have introduced new modern technologies), but also study on modern equipment.

About myself. I work as a design engineer at the Kiev Research and Development Institute “ENERGOPROEKT”. During my career, I had a chance to work with thermal power plants in Russia and Ukraine. I can say with confidence that the knowledge base laid down at the department quite allowed me to apply the acquired skills and quickly master new ones.

In conclusion, I want to say that the department left very good impressions about itself precisely thanks to the teaching staff, since it was they who created a friendly atmosphere, which was very important for me during the decree period. It was thanks to the teachers that I managed to give birth and raise my baby without interrupting my studies. I would like to express special gratitude to the head of the department and diploma supervisor Kovrigo Yuri Mikhailovich, Shtifzon Oleg Iosifovich, Bun Valery Pavlovich and Stepants Alexander Vasilyevich. Of course, I am very grateful to all the teachers for the acquired knowledge, they even help me a lot in my current work, understanding and patience, and I wish the applicants good luck and I think they will make the right decision and choose the ATEP department.
