That is the slogan we can note the events in November at the Department of Applied fluid and mechanomtronics: Autumn School - Olympiad - competition of professional skill.
In the first step occurred early November, when there was "Autumn School" for high school students high schools, high schools and middle schools. During the holidays the chair came 22 students from 5 educational institutions of Kyiv. Every day for six hours occurred theoretical training, practical skills were acquired and carried out laboratory testing of electrical engineering, simulation, pneumatic, electro-automatics and programming controller. Every day - new job, new tools, new teachers – A.P. Gubarev, A.V. Uzunov, I.V. Nochnichenko, A.S. Haletskiy, A.M. Muraschenko, A.S. Hanpantsurova. Only nine pupils reached the last test of the test results on didactic equipment with programmable controllers and pneumatic devices. But they are, even after the presentation of certificates of completion "Autumn School" to continue solving the "prize" problem, up until the Saturday evening, and a victorious outcome.
It took two weeks, and started the second step - Ukrainian contest of the knowledge of the "Mechatronics in mechanical engineering", but in a modified format. In the summer of representatives of the company DP "Fest" and NGO "WorldSkills Ukraine", Artem N.

"
In our view, a serious approach WorldSkills provide tools to create a balanced system of known technical solutions, approaches and special education needs of modern society. In such a system for simulating the dynamic changes may be new technical problem or deficiency of a particular category of specialists or the latest developments, the potential of which has yet tested in practice.
