History of the department
Department of Computer Science and Information Technology
(until 2018, the Department of Information Control Systems, the original name was “Automated Control Systems”) was established in 1974 due to the need to train specialists in information management systems in various sectors of the national economy. Since 1977, the department has been part of the Faculty of Aircraft Control Systems. From 1974 to 1996, the department was headed by a well-known scientist, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Academician of the Academy of Engineering Sciences of Ukraine, Professor Lysenko Eduard Viktorovich. Under his leadership, a scientific school was formed and the department passed the stage of formation.
From 1996 to the present, the department has been headed by a student of the scientific school of E.V. Lysenko, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Higher School of Ukraine, Oleg Fedorovych. All his labor, teaching and research activities are connected with the Kharkiv Aviation Institute. He is in charge of the department’s scientific directions. He has more than 300 scientific papers, including 12 monographs. He has prepared more than 20 candidates and 5 doctors of sciences. He is a well-known scientist in the field of creation and modeling of complex distributed management information systems using modern information technologies. He is an expert of the State Accreditation Commission of Ukraine of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine in Computer Science and Information Technology and a member of specialized academic councils for the defense of doctoral and candidate dissertations in the field of Information Technology.
