The faculty was set up in 1963. It comprised threedepartments at that time. These were the Department of Automation andTeleautomatics; Electric Metering Technology; and Mathematical and Calculating Machines and Devices.Since 1994 the Faculty has been located in the seventh teaching block,being the only faculty occupying a separate building.At present the faculty comprises six major departments awarding degrees. These are the following ones: Department of Automation; Department of Instrumentation; Department of Automated Control Systems; Department of Computer Engineering; Department of Data Collection andData Processing Systems; Department of Network Information Technologies.Students are given an opportunity not only to obtain the most up-to-dateknowledge in the area chosen, but also to carry out research and participate43in engineering developments.
The Faculty has about 40 instructional andresearch laboratories and computer classrooms, among these are "SIEMENS" training centre and "AEG-Modicon-Schneider" training centre.The Faculty offers multi-level system of training awarding Bachelor's,Master's and Engineer's degrees. The Bachelor degree is awarded after 4years of study, Engineer's degree- after 5.5 years, and Master's degree- aftersix years of study.The teaching staff are 110 teachers and professors.
The faculty offersBachelor's and Master's degrees in the fields of automation and control; instrument engineering; information science and computer engineering; andbiomedical engineering. An Engineer's degree is awarded in the fields ofbiotechnical and medical apparatuses and systems; control and informaticsin engineering systems; off-line information and control systems; computers, complexes, systems and networks; computer-aided data processing andcontrol systems; computer-aided design systems; software for computertechnology and computer-aided systems; computer-aided systems of information security.More than 150 international students study at the Faculty.Students acquire fundamental knowledge and practical training in various fields of science and engineering related to data processing, theory ofcontrol, design of various instruments and devices.Vocabulary1.
