I am a second year student of Omsk State Technical University, the department of Information Technologies and Computer Systems. I specialize in the field of automation of technological processes and after 4 years of studies I’ll get a bachelor’s degree and become an automation engineer.

Automation in its broad sense is the application of machines to tasks once performed by human beings or to tasks that would otherwise be impossible. The term automation was coined in the automobile industry about 1946 to describe the increased use of automatic devices and controls in mechanized production lines. This term is now widely used in connection with a variety of systems in which there is a significant substitution of mechanical, electrical, or computerized action for human effort and intelligence. In general usage, automation can be defined as a technology concerned with performing a process by means of programmed commands combined with automatic feedback control to ensure proper execution of the instructions.

To become skilled specialists in automation we are trained in fundamental sciences and special subjects. As future engineers we get thorough knowledge of physics, mathematics, technical drawing, electrical engineering, strength of materials, machine parts, theory of mechanics, automation and automated control systems. The development of automation technology has become increasingly dependent on the use of computers and computer-related technologies, so we also study computer science. Apart from the engineering subjects, we are offered a wide program of humanities. A great attention is paid to such subjects as history, philosophy, foreign languages as well as to the development of the scientific world outlook of the future engineers. We are taught by a highly-qualified staff of professors and teachers. Our practical training and laboratory works are done in the laboratories equipped with modern installations, apparatuses and devices. Theoretical training is combined with scientific work at the scientific centres and students’ design bureaus. It is also combined with practical training at the advanced enterprises. Besides, we write our term papers and graduation papers on the problems connected with automation of technological processes and control. We operate experimental and industrial installations, carry out research work, read scientific literature which deals with our speciality. All these help to turn a student into a highly-skilled engineer, ready for independent work.
