Developing Professional Competencies: Modern Engineering Solutions and Practical Experience from LEO LIGHTMAN (SDG 4, SDG 9, SDG 17)
A practical seminar was held at the CITARSE department, featuring a guest expert – Andrii Fomskyi, Head of the Project Department at LEO LIGHTMAN, a leading Ukrainian manufacturer of equipment and developer of comprehensive solutions in the field of lightning protection and grounding. The topic of the meeting was “Design Solutions for Lightning Protection and Grounding Systems”.
Lecturers and postgraduate students from the department participated in the event, gaining the opportunity to deepen their theoretical knowledge and explore modern approaches to designing external and internal lightning protection systems. They examined the specifics of constructing down-conductor and grounding systems, as well as relevant DSTU and EN standards. Particular attention was paid to the use of BIM technologies and the Autodesk Revit software environment for modeling and designing lightning protection and grounding systems.
As part of this collaboration, the company LEO LIGHTMAN donated a “Lightning Protection and Grounding Systems” training and demonstration stand to the department. This equipment will serve as a valuable practical addition to the educational process, facilitating the visual study of structural components and the operating principles of these systems, while also enabling the integration of practical engineering tasks into the students’ training.
Hosting such events is a significant step in developing cooperation between higher education institutions and industry enterprises; it fosters the exchange of scientific and technical expertise and aligns the educational process with the current demands of modern engineering practice.
The CITARSE department expresses its sincere gratitude to Andrii Fomskyi and the company LEO LIGHTMAN for an insightful meeting, a professional exchange of experience, and their support of the educational process!
