With the assistance and support of one of the largest Ukrainian miltech companies SkyFall, the Faculty of Radio Engineering of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute opened a state-of-the-art laboratory of signals and processes in radio engineering, which is not inferior to the European level and has no analogues in Ukraine.
Within the framework of the Memorandum of Cooperation between DTEK Renewables and Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, a renewable energy laboratory and a wind energy lecture hall were opened at the Educational and Research Institute of Energy Saving and Energy Management (IEE) to train specialists who will rebuild the Ukrainian energy industry.
Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute once again hosted the KPISchool Engineering Weeks. This career guidance event for schoolchildren during the school winter break was organized and conducted by the faculties, educational and research institutes and the Career Development Center of the Research and Development Department.
After the war is over, experts believe the country will need builders and architects, engineers and IT specialists, transport and logistics workers, and others. The prestige of the engineering profession-the degree of respect for it in society-which has recently declined should rise again. After all, engineers are primarily the creators of new, advanced things, aimed at progress in society. And the example of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute graduates is a confirmation of this.
Dear Kyiv Polytechnics! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025!!!
We wish the coming year to be full of professional and personal successes, as well as endless opportunities for new achievements!
