Prosyanikov Vadim

I graduated from the department in 1994.

The idea of ​​automatic control of a technological process without human intervention is the component that determined my choice of specialty. I acted like many others under the beautiful words – automation. However, I never regretted it. And this is the great merit of the teachers of the department – Kovrigo, Chuiko, Mysak, Kiselev, Paizansky, Movchan, Batyuk, Samsonov, etc.

What the department gave me?

There are two points. In the specialty, this is a clear understanding that a real automation specialist must know the process that automates not worse, but better than a technologist. Because a true automation engineer is not someone, who draws circuits and pulls shoelaces. This engineer must be able to understand the technological process, transfer it to special subjects and be able to develop correctly approaches to automation.

Moreover, the second is in life. Technology, business process and people management have a lot in common. It was very easy for me to master new facets of my work, as the deputy head of the heat supply department at the Kiev plant “Khimvolokno”, then as the chief engineer of several private companies, then as the technical director of our company and finally as its President. The basics of automation, received at the department, allowed me to convert the company from an installer to a manufacturer of controller equipment and SCADA-systems.

The department is developing. Recently, a lot of emphasis placed on automation tools, programming and networks. Our students receive a very diverse education.

For example, my son, who graduated from our department, besides having excellent knowledge of basic subjects, is very well versed in modern automation tools. This knowledge and deep understanding of the tasks gave him the opportunity for a year already to develop a new multifunctional platform for programming controllers of our production, to create projects of automation systems based on this platform.

The only wish is to continue studying automation objects at the department. This will provide an opportunity to train versatile specialists in our field.

That is why I advise future students to pay attention to our department and our specialty.
