About the Faculty

The Faculty was founded in 1996. On the basis of the Faculty of Agricultural Mechanization, when a new specialty "Agricultural Machinery" was opened, which was later renamed into "Machinery and Equipment for Agricultural Production". In this regard, the Faculty of Agricultural Mechanical Engineering was established in June 2001 by the decision of the Academic Council of the University. It was opened in 2005. The new specialty "Equipment of Forestry Complex" was named the Faculty of Construction and Design of Machinery and Equipment of Agriculture and Forestry.

For significant achievements in scientific, educational and methodical work awarded the honorary title: "Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine" Professor A.S. Opalchuk, "Honored Worker of Public Education of Ukraine" to Professor I.A. Tsurpala, "Honored Inventor of Ukraine" by Professor V.M. Bulgakov and associate professor V.F. Yaroshenko, "Excellent Education of Ukraine" to professors V.S. Loveikin and Pylypaka S.F. In 2011, V.A. Dubrovin became a laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology for his work "The system of bioresources use in the newest biotechnologies for obtaining alternative fuels". The Diploma of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine was awarded to Associate Professor A.V. Zazimko.

The faculty receives ongoing support from the Department of Engineering and Technical Support and Agricultural Machine Building of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine. The result is a state order for training specialists and their employment at machine-building enterprises of Ukraine.

Meeting on improving the efficiency of the system of engineering and technical support of agro-industrial complex, held by the Department of engineering and technical support and agricultural machinery of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine on the basis of NULES of Ukraine

Scientists of the faculty conduct research on the following topics:

1. Development of the concept and theory of internal combustion engines with modern gas distribution mechanisms (Prof. V.P. Kovbasa);

2. Improvement of bodies of machines with gravitational and rotational working surfaces for separation, movement and scattering of agricultural materials (Prof. Pylypaka S.F.);

3. Development of integrated resource-saving technologies for the production of highly liquid natural plant raw materials, its processing and storage on the basis of adaptive agrobioengineering systems (Prof. Dubrovin V.O.);

4. Development of technology for integrated processing of biological waste in new generation biogas plants (Prof. G.A. Golub).

During the years of the faculty's existence, 12 graduates have been graduated, more than 700 highly qualified bachelors, design engineers and masters have been trained for the agricultural and forestry engineering and food processing industries of Ukraine.
