Text A:
My future speciality.

I am a second year student of Kherson National Technical University. I study at the department of Mechanical Engineering. My future speciality is the processing engineer. The students of our department are specializing in mechanics, automation of technological processes and automated control systems, industrial electronics, electrical engineering. Mechanical engineering is called a key industry due to its importance to all sectors of the national economy including mechanization, automation, chemical engineering, etc. Engineering is a complex consisting of inter-linked industries.

Machine-tool manufacture is the material and technical base of engineering. Mechanical engineering is rapidly changing. Instrument-making plays an increasingly important part. This branch of engineering produces automation equipment, quality control devices, computers, etc.
The development of automation is closely linked with progress in instrument-making and output of up-to-date measuring and control instruments and devices. Mechanical engineers deal with the design and construction of engineering structures, machines. They design engineering equipment and use these equipment in different production processes. As future engineers we get thorough knowledge of physics, mathematics, technical drawing, electrical engineering, strength of materials and machine parts, automation and automated control systems, computing, etc.
The course of study lasts 5 years. The academic activities for subjects fall into such types: lectures, seminars, practical classes, laboratories, tutorials, credits, examinations.
The department offers four year courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Engineering and five year courses leading to the degree of Master of Engineering.
We are taught by a highly-qualified staff of professors, assistant professors and teachers. Our practical training and laboratory works are done in the laboratories equipped with modern installations, apparatuses and devices. Theoretical training is combined with scientific work at the scientific centers and students’ design bureaus. As a rule, students write their term-papers and graduation theses on the problems connected with their scientific work.
They operate experimental and industrial installations, conduct research work, read scientific literature which deals with their speciality. It is also combined with practical training at the advanced enterprises. All these help to turn a student into a highly-skilled engineer, ready for independent work.
Graduates from our University can work as an engineers, foremen, shop managers or directors of the plant.
