Bachelor training (Electronic Devices and Equipment) is done on the basis of the one educational plan «Electronic Devices and Systems» for two specialties:
“Electronic and Ionic Devices” and “Microelectronic Sensors”.

After getting Bachelor Degree students can get Specialist Degree or Master Degree.

After graduation students with Master Degree can continue their education at post-graduate school of the chair “Physics of Devices, Elements and Systems” or at other universities of Ukraine or abroad.

Scientists with Ph.D. can study at Doctoral school on the specialty “Physics of the Solid”..

The chair of Applied Physics trains engineers of electronic techniques for work in the field of industry, all spheres of business and scientific-research institutions of the Ministry of Education and National Academy of Science of Ukraine – any kind of work connected with development, programming and usage of computer-informational systems, modern branches in the theory of materials, nano- and optoelectronics, telecommunication, sensor techniques, usage of the methods of analysis of the solid and film materials.

The graduates of “Electronic Devices and Equipment” according to the specialization, position and place of work can perform the following kinds of work:

• organize scientific-research work, plan and hold scientific experimental and reasearch-constructional researches;
• organize patent search, know special literature, introduce Internet technologies and programmed complex LabVIEW to the educational process and scientific researches;
• realization of projects, development and programming of a wide range of complex computer-informational systems with the usage of controller of the most famous companies of the world (National Instrument, Advantech, Wago);
• development of software with the usage of modern programming languages LabVIEW, C++, Assembler;
• use modern electronic techniques;
• technical service, repairing and setting of electronic and vacuum devices and equipment;
• skills of constructing of elements of microelectronics, measuring their basic parameters and characteristics with the usage of control-measuring devices;
• continue their education at post-graduate schools at other universities of Ukraine or abroad.

The chair is located in the central building of SSU on the 1st and 3d floors and in the electro-technical building (Academician Lazarev Laboratory, ET-99).

The history of the chair

The chair was founded in 1996 on the basis of the chair of electronic machine-building created in 1990 and headed by O.I.Fedorenko and Ph.D. (technical sciences), Professor I.S.Savchenko during 1990-1996. The change of the name and personnel of the chair took place because of the opened specialty called “Electronic Devices and Equipment” instead of “Electronic Machine-building” and transition from Engineering Faculty to Physical-technical that became a part of ElIT in 2009.

Personnel

There are 7 teachers working at the chair, including 1 professor, 6 associate professors and 2 scientific collaborators.

Scientific-Research Work

There’s a scientific school functioning at the chair. It’s a school of physics of thin films under the supervision of Professor I.Y.Protsenko. There are also researches done in the field of “Magneto-resistive, electro-physical and magneto-optical characteristics of nano-crystal multilayer film systems”..

In terms of the school there are 6 state projects performed, international grants (7 grants) and agreement themes (2 themes); there are 2 Doctoral papers and 13 Ph.D. papers defended and 1 Doctoral and 4 Ph.D. papers prepared.

Teachers and post-graduate students got 4 Diplomas of Presidium of NAN of Ukraine, 7 scholarships of the Ministry of Ukraine, 4 scholarships of Sorosiv, 2 scholarships of Vyshegrad Fund and 4 International grants of Polish and Slovak Academy of Sciences.

Students of the specialty got 7 diplomas in Ukrainian contests of scientific works.

Every year teachers, post-graduate students and students present about 60 reports at International and Ukrainian scientific conferences including 5 reports abroad and publish 18-20 scientific articles including 4-8 abroad.

International Cooperation

The chair of applied physics has international relations with the leading educational and scientific institutions of Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, India, Russia and specialists in the field of physics, micro- and nanoelectronics and has international grants for scientific researches: Ukraine-Poland (2003-2005; 2006-2007), Ukraine-Slovakia (2006-2007; 2008--2010), Ukraine-India (2008-2010), Ukraine-Slovenia (2009-2010), Ukraine-Germany (2009-2010).
