New specialties for modern students with the support of the European Union
On October 3-5, Zaporizhia National Technical University welcomed participants in the international educational project Erasmus+ KA2 586114-EPP-1-2017-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP “Innovative multidisciplinary educational program for the training of bachelors and masters in artificial implants for bioengineering”.
Representatives of eleven higher educational institutions from Spain, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Ukraine and Israel, as well as the State Institution “Institute of Spine and Joint Pathology named after M.I.Sytenko of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine” (Kharkiv, Ukraine) exchanged experience in analyzing labor market requirements and specifics of legislation in the field higher education in order to develop a new curriculum. Since a distinctive feature of modern educational programs is multidisciplinary nature, three departments are involved in the development of a new innovative program at ZNTU – the Department of Radio Engineering and Telecommunications (Head of Department, Ph.D., Associate Professor S.V. Morshchavka, PhD, G.V. Moroz), the Department of Software (Head of Department, Ph.D., Prof. S.O. Subbotin, Ph.D., Associate Professor G.V. Tabunshchyk, Ph.D., Associate Professor A.V. Parkhomenko, PhD, A.V. Tulenkov) and the Department of Physical Materials Science (Ph.D., Prof. V.A. Shalomeev, Ph.D., Associate Professor O.V. Klimov, PhD, Aikin M.D.).
During the meeting, the project participants took part in the IX International scientific and practical conference “Modern problems and achievements in the field of radio engineering, telecommunications and information technologies”, which was held at ZNTU. Project coordinator prof. David Luengo (Polytechnic University of Madrid) opened the conference with a plenary report “Evaluation of the feasibility of ECG-based biometric identification of healthy subjects”.
On October 3, a round table “Prospects for the development of the science-education-production knowledge triangle in the field of biomedical engineering and intelligent artificial implants for bioengineering” was organized, at which representatives of Zaporizhia State Medical University, representatives of the Motor-Sich clinic and the Visus ophthalmological clinic, the chief production engineer of Motor Sich JSC, representatives of Infocom and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine (O. Makarchuk, M. Shumilin) spoke about the latest achievements in the field of artificial implants and formulated the requirements for modern graduates in the field of bioengineering. The current state of artificial implant production in Israel was presented by Professor Kfir Ben Harush (Semi Shamon College).
The following reports sparked lively discussions and were highly appreciated by the roundtable participants:
– Badnaoui A. (Sytenko Institute of Spine and Joint Pathology of the National Ukrainian Academy of Medical Sciences) MODERN APPROACHES TO IMPLANTS IN ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY. MOTIVATION AND PROSPECTS.
– Bezugliy M. (Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor, ZDMU) IMPLANTS IN OPHTHALMOLOGY: REALITY AND PROSPECTS
– Chorny V. (Head of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, MCH JSC “MOTOR Sich”, Associate Professor, ZDMU), EXPERIMENTAL – CLINICAL SUBSTITUTION OF OSTEOSYNTHESIS WITH IMPLANTS FROM MAGNESIUM-BASED ALLOYS
– Yakovleva A. PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DOMESTIC IMPLANTS OF MOTOR SICH JSC
– Rumyantsev S. INNOVATIVE PROJECTS OF INFOCOM LTD COMPANY
The project participants were able to get acquainted with the features of the production of artificial implants during a visit to Motor Sich JSC on October 4 with the support of the Director of Consumer Goods Production of MOTOR Sich JSC Oleksiy Zelenyuk and Chief Engineer Ivan Matvienko.
On October 5, Ukrainian partners underwent preventive monitoring, and European colleagues had the opportunity to visit the laboratories of the departments of physical materials science, software, radio engineering and telecommunications. The social program included a visit to the cradle of the Ukrainian Cossacks – the island of Khortytsia. In addition, on October 5, a special section was held, within the framework of which ZNTU students presented their developments in the field of bio-engineering:
1) Tulenkov A. (Assistant Professor, Department of Software) EMBEDDED BIOMEDICAL SYSTEMS AND WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
2) Kusch A., Frolova A. (St. Gr. KNT-715) RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM FOR CHOOSING MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
3) Khorzeev I. (KNT-124m) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROVIDING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A THREE-DIMENSIONAL HUMAN MODEL
4) Chudesnova O. (RP-914m) IMPROVEMENT OF WIRELESS ACCESS TO THE NETWORK IN ROOMS WITH RESTRICTIONS IN THE LEVEL OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION.
5) Sherstobytova A. (RP-914m) SYSTEM OF AUTOMATIC CALL OF EMERGENCY SERVICES TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO PASSENGERS OF “INTELLIGENT” TRANSPORT IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
6) Luk’yanenko O. (IF-214m) IMPROVED MAGNESIUM-BASED ALLOY WITH AN ENHANCED COMPLEX OF PROPERTIES FOR OSTEOSYNTHESIS.
Representatives of the National Erasmus+ Office had the opportunity to meet with representatives of the labor market – O.A. Ryzhov, Professor, Doctor of Pharm. Sciences, Head of the Department of Medical and Pharmaceutical Informatics and New Technologies of ZSMU and S.Yu. Tsotsorin, Deputy Chief Designer of JSC “Motor Sich”.
The project team would like to express special gratitude for their help in organizing the first meeting of the BIOART project to JSC “Motor Sich”, Light IT and Vimeo companies, and translator E. Chetvertak, Associate Professor of the Department of Translation Theory and Practice.
