In our time, the enrollment into the KPI was not easy, and training in it - much harder. Among the recognized almost by all of the most difficult education subjects the theory of machines and mechanisms – TMM is occupied the leading place.
Expansion of the training scale of specialists exacerbated personnel problem, required to improve the work of the teaching staff. At that time at the Institute there were worked such outstanding scientists: academicians K.K. Hrenov, N.N. Dobrokhotov, F.P. Belyankin, B.S.
In the mid-80s on the FCT it was functioned radiochemistry laboratory headed by prof. Yu.Ya.Fialkov with modern equipment and a cohort of young scientists, who have had experience with open sources of ionizing radiation "hot" radionuclides. In the laboratory, a theoretical study of non-aqueous and aqueous solutions, as well as practical developments were carried out, for example, methods of industrial wastewater of various contaminants including radioactivity.
Department of Instrumentation was established in February 1961.
During the first post-revolutionary years and during the Civil War, despite the political changes in Ukraine, the KPI remained higher school of the old type.
