Civil Engineering Faculty
About faculty
Civil Engineering Faculty was founded in October 1959. Such talented deans and scholars as B.F. Babkov, A.A. Liubimov, V.I. Marakutsa and L.I. Storozhenko contributed much to the development of the faculty.
Since 1987, the faculty has been headed by PhD (Engineering), Associated Professor Astakhov Valentyn Ivanovych.
The faculty comprises four departments – “Industrial, Civil and Urban Construction”; “Technology of Building Products, Materials and Structures”; “Heat-, Gas- and Water Supply, Water Drainage and Ventilation”; and “Geodesy”. 45 experienced university teachers including 6 professors, 5 doctors of Engineering, 18 PhDs of Engineering are working at these departments.
Civil Engineering Faculty trains students for Bachelor and Master degrees in Specialty "Building and Civil Engineering" (specializations: “Industrial and Civil Engineering”, “Technology of Building Products, Materials and Structures”, “Geodesy”)
Students are trained in specialized research laboratories and training rooms. The faculty has up-to-date facilities including the research, training and industrial complex “Budindustriia” established by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and many industrial enterprises organizations of Kryvyi Rih. There is also a design bureau where students acquire practical skills in design.
The faculty provides a postgraduate course in the following specialities: 192 “Building and Civil Engineering” and 103 “Earth Sciences”.
Наукова діяльність факультету зосереджується на актуальних проблемах сьогодення: The faculty’s scientific activity focuses on current burning problems:
- increased reliability and durability of building structures at industrial enterprises;
- investigation into and introduction of building materials and structures using industrial waste materials;
- investigation into and introduction of steel and reinforced concrete structures;
- investigation into buildings and structures functioning in complicated engineering and geological conditions, engineering preparation and design of technogenic urbanized areas;
- energy saving in heat- and gas-supply and building heating;
- development of methods to calculate and design effective systems of local exhaust and general dilution ventilation at mining and concentration plants;
- investigation into and development of measures and tools of energy saving in water-, heat- and gas-supply and ventilation systems;
- development of organizational and engineering-technical measures to reduce dust and gas emissions from underground mines, open pits and plants of mining and concentration works;
- forecasting of impacts of water and air contamination on the regional environment;
- increased reliability of functioning of internal and external water supply and drainage networks of industrial and civil buildings.
The all-Ukrainian scientific and practical conference “Problems of Energy Saving in Construction and Reconstruction of Buildings, Structures and Engineering Networks” is annually hold at the faculty.
Students are engaged into research work while doing course and diploma works, projects, reports at students’ scientific conferences.
The faculty graduates are working not only in Ukraine, but also abroad – in the countries of the CIS, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
