Provision of innovations in the educational process of the department of computer information technologies

The medical field of CIT began to develop in 2009, when the head of the Department of Computer Information Technology, Professor Tarasov A. F. returned from an internship at the British company Delcam, which developed software for creating implants and prostheses for humans.

In 2015, the department began cooperation with "Motor Sich", which produces endoprostheses of the hip and knee joints, with the Institute of Pathology of the Spine and Joints. In 2017, the department began work on the international project Erasmus + "BIOART". This allowed the creation of bioelectronics and biomechanics laboratories with equipment and software, and students and teachers - to undergo teacher training in partner countries. Example of laboratory equipment: signal generator and multi-channel oscilloscope, Raspberry Pi microcomputers, debug boards and sensor CITs, a 3D printer, a virtual reality helmet and a computer.

On this foundation, as part of the specialty "Computer Science" at the DSEA, a new educational program "Computer Science in Medicine" was created to prepare students in the use of information technology in the medical field.

The availability of modern equipment helps to better teach students, including the completion of theses. Student research works are performed at a decent level and are successfully defended at international competitions.

In November, the DSEA signed a memorandum with the public association IT-Cluster Donbass, which will help implement large joint projects in the IT-field. The educational process of the department will receive modern IT-innovations from this cooperation. Teachers of the department, in turn, plan to hold webinars, conferences, competitions, etc. for everyone. This will ensure the development of the intellectual potential of Kramatorsk.
