Employer companies we work with!

For over 10 years, our students have been participating in the Academic Mobility Program for students of the ACT Faculty. The faculty cooperates with a Polish-Korean company Max Power, which provides job opportunities for our students at Korean companies. These are mainly factories belonging to the Korean giant LG.

As a result of cooperation with companies, classrooms 158, 159, 162-1, 162-2, and 162-3 have been equipped, where lectures, practical classes, and laboratory classes are held for full-time students.

As an example, an educational and scientific laboratory called “Automation and Mechatronics” has been set up at the department, equipped with KAPELOU, equipped with the latest generation components from the world’s leading manufacturers, will enable students to undergo practical training and internships right on campus. In addition, it will allow them to gain applied knowledge in fields that are in high demand today.

Purpose of cooperation  KAPELOUwith Ukrainian university – to provide students who are eager to learn and aspire to become true engineering professionals with the opportunity to gain practical knowledge. Thus, after graduating from higher education institutions, students will have a broader understanding of their specialty and its areas of application.

Therefore, the arsenal of KNURE students will be replenished with a stand with an automation system, which includes state-of-the-art electronics from leading European manufacturers.

Based at Laboratory 159, the KITARBI Department cooperates with the company Robotech Україна, which enabled the creation of a research laboratory for robotics. The KITARBI department and KhNURE University and Robotec In the person of the company’s founder and our graduate, Oleksiy Reznichek, scientific and practical relations were established to create a research laboratory aimed at meeting the needs of the labor market, developing science and production, and training specialists in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence (meeting materials).

Laboratory 162-1 serves as a base for cooperation with the company in scientific, technical, educational, and production activities. TWIST ENGINEERING LLC. Cooperation takes the form of non-commercial information exchange on scientific and technical activities of both parties, training of specialists in the field of “Automation and Computer-Integrated Technologies” to work with ESPRIT software, as well as professional development of teachers and employees of each party.

The department actively cooperates with industrial Association of Industrial Automation Enterprises of Ukraine (IAEU). The IAM cluster aims to bring together a wide range of participants: small and medium-sized businesses, large enterprises, universities, scientific institutions and laboratories, incubators, technology transfer centers, etc., with the involvement of state and local authorities.

Scientific and technical seminars on “Modern Technologies for Production Automation” are held in lecture hall 162-2 of our department, organized by NURE, the CITARSE department, and the company Festo Ukraine with the participation of representatives of companies from the Kharkiv region. Company Festo Ukraine presents new solutions for the automation of technological processes, in particular for the implementation of shut-off and control valves and pneumatic devices. The company has also provided a range of equipment for use in the educational process..

Cooperation with the company Flex provided the department with modern automation equipment, which has become a powerful tool for modernizing laboratory workshops. This collaboration demonstrates how industry can support education by providing universities with resources that meet the highest global standards. Students have the opportunity to learn the principles of automated system design and operation, program industrial controllers, and debug technological processes using equipment similar to that installed at Flex factories. This partnership ensures that our graduates have the relevant knowledge and practical experience necessary to succeed in the field of industrial automation.

Also, as part of the cooperation, the department received educational and scientific complexes designed for teaching the courses “Pneumatics” and “Pneumatic Drives and Mechatronics” from representatives of the company in Auditorium 159 with «CAMOZZI Automation». Company «CAMOZZI Autommation» provided stands for use, which include typical technological modules of automatic compressed air-based smoking systems. The training elements allow students to master various principles of automated system design, compose and analyze their own technical solutions while performing laboratory, diploma, and master’s work.

The list of enterprises and companies with which the department cooperates is extensive. Therefore, below you can find links to other partners.

Based on the results of the meeting and agreements, during the 2018-2019 academic year, more than 120 students of the ACITS faculty underwent internships and practical training at LG Electronics enterprises. In addition, seven master’s students, after successfully completing their pre-diploma practical training, received permanent jobs at the enterprise.

Thus, taking into account all the achievements of the staff and students of NURE, LG Electronics presented certificates of achievement to our colleagues: Professor Igor Nevlyudov, Alexander Filipenko, as well as Associate Professors Rauf Allahveranov and Andriy Frolov.
