My speciality

I am a student of the Omsk State Technical University. My future speciality is closely connected with the facility of information technologies and computer systems. The faculty trains specialists for advanced branches of science and industry linked with modern information technologies and automatic control.

The faculty provides broad engineering education and practical skills in designing and testing computer elements and systems. The students study both general educational subjects and engineering ones. Among those they study higher mathematics, algebra of logic, machine languages (Pascal, C, C ++), technology of programming, research of operation, theory of cooling, foreign languages, theory of automatic regulation electronics and microelectronics, elements of computers and so on.

In the first year students are divided into engineers and bachelors. The course of studies of engineers lasts 5 years, for bachelors – 4 years. After that bachelors can continue their studies and receive magister diploma.

To get skills in mastering new methods students have practice both in different laboratories and in the university computer center. Some students can do practice with the help of home computers. Our university computing center is equipped with IBM PC 486 computers. These computers have very good software and peripherals.

Besides the students make course projects in all the years to acquire profound knowledge in different subjects.

In the third year students can make contracts with industrial or economic enterprises.

The training of the future specialists is performed by highly qualified teaching staff. The graduates get skills in mastering new methods of system analysis and designing by new information technologies and information processing. They can work in different areas of human activity with modern computers, workstations, computer networks and Internet.

In the last year the students are to defend diploma projects. A prediploma practice helps them to get necessary data for a diploma project, the topic being chosen according to their interests and future work.
