It has been 10 years in the row as the Faculty of Instrument Engineering and Faculty of Management and Marketing hold joint interfaculty International Scientific and Practical Conference of Students, Postgraduate Students and Young Scientists, which is called “Efficiency of engineering solutions in instrument engineering”. Evolutionary development was not that easy from the first student conference until the 10th International one. In 2005-2014 there were substantial modifications in the socio-economic sphere. The knowledge-intensive and hi-tech sphere of instrument engineering also underwent changes in machinery and technology. It caused the necessity of calculation of technical and economic indicators which define a place of finished products of domestic instrument engineering in Ukrainian and foreign markets.

The collection of conference included such theses of reports in the following fields of researches as: economy and efficiency of use of navigation aids and systems; economy of production and use of optical and electrooptical devices and systems; efficiency of information technologies at designing the systems of mechanical quantities measurement; technical and economic characteristics of micro- and nanodevices; economic aspects of analytical and ecological instrument engineering; economic efficiency of use of biomedical instrument engineering systems and technologies; efficiency of nondestructive testing, technical and medical diagnostics; the international scientific and technical cooperation in instrument engineering.

The combination of theoretical and practical engineering and economic knowledge of students, postgraduate students and young scientists of both faculties gives an opportunity to future specialists to implement their developments, circuitry and devices successfully in domestic and foreign markets.
