Modern digital twins combine mathematical models, data from IoT sensors, artificial intelligence algorithms and cloud technologies. Thanks to this, the digital twin becomes not just a simulation, but a full-fledged cyber-physical system that synchronizes with a real object in real time. This opens up opportunities for in-depth analysis, testing and optimization without risk to equipment, which is especially important for complex electrical complexes and mechatronic modules.

One of the key advantages of Digital Twin technology is the ability to provide predictive maintenance. By analyzing data, a digital twin can predict when a system might fail and prevent an accident. This significantly reduces repair costs, increases equipment reliability, and minimizes downtime. In addition, a digital twin allows you to test new operating modes, simulate emergency situations, and optimize processes without interfering with the physical system.

Digital twin technology is actively used in manufacturing, energy, transportation, aviation, medicine, and robotics. In industry, Digital Twin is used to optimize robotic lines, control quality, and improve production process efficiency. In energy, digital twins help monitor the condition of turbines, transformers, and electric drives. In the transportation industry, they allow you to model loads, analyze the behavior of control systems, and improve safety.

For engineering education, a digital twin is a critically important technology. Future engineers must be able to work with data, create mathematical models, apply intelligent algorithms and build cyber-physical systems. That is why in the educational program “Engineering of Intelligent Electrical and Mechatronic Complexes” students study modeling in MATLAB/Simulink, data analysis in Python, intelligent control systems, digital and nonlinear control systems, technical diagnostics and creation of digital twins of electrical and mechatronic systems. This ensures the training of specialists who are able to work with Industry 4.0 technologies and implement modern solutions in production and energy.

A digital twin is not just an engineering tool, but a fundamental concept that combines the physical and digital worlds. It provides a deep understanding of the operation of systems, increases efficiency, reliability and safety, and also opens up new opportunities for the development of intelligent electrical and mechatronic complexes. That is why Digital Twin technology is one of the key areas of development of modern engineering and an important component of the training of students of our department.

Among the awardees is a creative team from our department, including Professor Serhii Boichenko and Associate Professor Anna Yakovlieva, together with representatives of our stakeholders and partner organizations— Iryna Shkilniuk from the DEMET Research Laboratory of the Educational and Research Institute of Energy Efficiency and Professor Artur Zaporozhets. Their monograph, published by Springer and indexed in Scopus, was recognized in the competition and received second place.

We sincerely congratulate our colleagues and wish them further professional achievements and new successes.

The discussion focused on tasks related to enhancing the content of the programs, assessment methods, and a stronger emphasis on practical training. A large volume of survey data and feedback from students and stakeholders was reviewed. All efforts are aimed at modernizing our educational programs.

We are preparing for further discussion with the wider department staff and representatives of the relevant Scientific and Methodological Commission of Ukraine. Such discussions have become a traditional and mandatory stage of continuous improvement, ensuring the quality of education and the high standard of our educational services.

The Examination Committee, chaired by Professor Oleh Yurchenko, Head of Department at the Institute of Electrodynamics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, provided an objective and thorough assessment of the graduates’ level of preparation. Two theses were evaluated with a recommendation for awarding diplomas with honors. These achievements set an example for their peers and once again confirmed the high quality of engineering education delivered by the department’s academic staff.

Our graduates are in high demand at companies such as DTEK, Schneider Electric, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, as well as other engineering companies involved in supporting the energy sector and the reconstruction of Ukraine.

We are grateful to all participants for their interest in energy-related fields of study and for their active participation in the meeting. We look forward to seeing you in our classrooms!

The textbook presents the fundamentals of the theory and practice of the rational use of alternative motor fuels. The use of alternative motor fuels is positioned as a means of expanding the energy resource base, strengthening the state’s energy security, and reducing environmental impact. An educational and methodological framework has been developed to enable students to acquire knowledge and skills for making well-grounded and optimal decisions regarding the justification and selection of alternative fuels in each specific case of operation of transport equipment and energy facilities. The fundamental knowledge is based on the chemotological concept of the fuel life cycle, its quality, and its relationship with performance properties as well as the technical characteristics of equipment.

The textbook is intended for higher education students at various levels whose fields of study are related to the rational use of alternative motor fuels. In addition, it will be useful for engineering and technical specialists in oil refining and fuel supply, the energy sector, power and industrial engineering, and environmental protection.

The publication has been approved by the Academic Council of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute as a textbook for students in the specialties G3 – Electrical Engineering, G1 – Chemical Technologies and Engineering, and G11 – Mechanical Engineering.

On 12 December 2025, Kateryna Samchynska, a student of the Department of Automation of Electrotechnical and Mechatronic Complexes, met with Elvira Aliyeva, Project Manager at HHM One (Global 17), to discuss the update of the educational programme “Engineering of Intelligent Electrotechnical and Mechatronic Complexes.”

The meeting focused on analysing current trends in the engineering sector and identifying the competencies that should be strengthened in the renewed programme. Particular attention was paid to digitalisation, the implementation of BIM technologies, the development of digital-twin skills, and the integration of electrotechnical and mechatronic systems into complex engineering projects.

Elvira Aliyeva shared HHM One’s (Global 17) practical experience in digital modelling projects and emphasised the importance of training specialists capable of working with modern engineering platforms and intelligent systems.

“Today an engineer must possess not only technical knowledge but also digital tools that enable the creation of comprehensive models of objects. We support the programme update, as it will prepare specialists who are ready to address real challenges in modern engineering,” noted Elvira Aliyeva.

Cooperation with HHM One (Global 17) is an important step in the development of the programme and contributes to preparing competitive professionals in the field of modern engineering.
