In November, the Department of Audio Engineering and Data Recording of the Faculty of Electronics of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute celebrated the 90th anniversary. In 2020 the Department of Audio Engineering and Data Recording joined the Department of Acoustic and Multimedia Electronic Systems.
The State Polytechnic Museum of the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” congratulates the staff of the Department on the anniversary and wishes for new creative successes and achievements in both pedagogical and research activities as part of a new department.
The Department of Audio Engineering and Data Recording of the Faculty of Electronics has long been cooperating with our museum. With the participation of the Department, many interesting events were held in the museum. One should mention at least the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Ukrainian Studio of Chronicle and Documentary Films in 2012. As part of the anniversary celebration, we organized an exhibition and a meeting with the leading film studio figures. Then, the museum collection enriched with technology samples, which illustrate the entire technological process of shooting, creating, and showing movies. A famous film camera “Convas”, which for decades of work scrolled hundred thousands of meters of film produced by the factories “Svema”, “Kodak”, “Fuji”; a speaker console, sound recording and re-recording consoles, director's console, an editing table, reels with film, a film projector, and other accessories to accompany the work of a documentary filmmaker were presented to the museum. Later, the Department of Audio Engineering and Data Recording supplemented the museum exhibition with a studio recording tape recorder, a TV prompter “Ustanovka POK TEK” and two film projectors “KN-15” and “35K UCH-2”.
Head of the Department laboratory Ruslan Mykolaiovych Shvedin donated to the museum fund hundreds of various gadgets, devices, and stands, which has demonstrated the professional process of study at the Faculty of Electronics for many years.
In 2019, the State Polytechnic Museum together with leading scientists and specialists of the department celebrated the 80th anniversary of the birth of a talented teacher, scientist, inventor, designer, and experimenter Yevhen Mykolaiovych Travnikov. At the meeting, his life and creative path were mentioned by Head of the Department Hanna Hryhorivna Vlasiuk, professor of the Department Volodymyr Volodymyrovych Pilinskyi, leading design engineer of the Research Institute of Electromechanical Devices Mykola Valerianovych Tumarkin, other colleagues, friends, former students who knew him personally as a teacher.
The Department of Audio Engineering and Data Recording, as well as for many other institutions in Ukraine, has always been a personnel source for the Research Institute of Electromechanical Devices. Scientific readings dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the Institute of Electromechanical Devices, most of whose development engineers are Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute graduates prove it for sure.
I would like to thank the Faculty of Electronics, the Department of Sound Engineering and Information Registration, people who care about the history of technology creation and its sample preservation. I would also like to express my gratitude to people working closely with the State Polytechnic Museum - Ruslan Mykolaiovych Shvedin, Volodymyr Volodymyrovych Pilinskyi, Pavlo Vasylovych. Popovych. We wish other faculties and departments of the University to study and preserve their achievements and to closely cooperate.
We thank the newly established the Department of Acoustic and Multimedia Electronic Systems under the head of Serhii Anatoliiovych Naida for their support in celebrating the anniversary of the Department of Audio Engineering and Data Recording and we hope for further close cooperation.
