The Department of Information Science and Software Engineering was formed in 2015 within the framework of the reorganization of the Department of Physics, Mathematics and Information Technologies, successfully operating since 1994, since the foundation of the engineering and pedagogical faculty of the PSU named after T.G. Shevchenko in Rybnitsa. Currently the department provides teaching of natural science and special disciplines. During its work, the department has trained more than 400 specialists in the field of software engineering and pedagogical education (Information Science).

Since the beginning of its activity, the department staff has been guided by the demand of consumers: pedagogical technologies have been improved from year to year; new specialties have appeared (in particular, “Software of computer facilities and automated systems”). Since 2012, the department, as part of the transition to educational standards of new generation (FSES-3), has been preparing bachelors in the training programs of “Pedagogical education” (the main specialization is “Information Science”, the additional specialization is “Foreign language”) and “Software engineering” (the specialization is “Software and Information Systems Development”).
In 2016, a set of documents was prepared and adopted for the bachelor’s program in the direction 44.03.01 “Pedagogical education” (the profile is “Computer science and information technology in education”) and the master’s program in the training program 44.04.01 “Pedagogical Education” (“Information technology in education”) and 09.04. 04 “Software Engineering” (“Software and Information Systems Development”). In 2017, the first enrolment of students was carried out in these training programs.  

    The department is actively cooperating with the State Administration of Rybnitsa and the Rybnitsa district, with the city and regional Council of People’s Deputies, with the Municipal Educational Institution “Rybnitsa Interschool Educational and Career Guidance Center”, with the Municipal Educational Institution “Rybnitsa Department of Public Education”, with the Municipal Educational Institution “Rybnitsa Polytechnic College”, with the city and regional schools.
    
The teaching stuff and students of the department develop websites of public organizations, which are hosted by our branch. This is how the website of the Rybnitsa branch of the Union of Writers of the PMR has been functioning for several years. The websites of all village councils of the Rybnitsa district have been created and are functioning. The work on cartography of the city and the district is being carried out. The department is actively cooperating with computer companies of the district “Tiraet” Ltd., LLC “Mir komp’yuterov”.

The department teaching staff constantly improves their professional level by taking advanced training courses, internships and participating in various seminars and scientific and practical conferences of the republican and international level. Special attention is paid to the implementation of new educational and information technologies in practice of the educational process. Great attention in the educational process is paid to modern information resources. At the branch, students and teachers are provided with constant access to Internet resources.
Senior Lecturer of the department Glazov A.B. created an educational channel on the international service “Youtube” for the Rybnitsa branch of the PSU named after. T.G. Shevchenko, which has been successfully operating for more than 5 years. It has a course of video lectures on electrical engineering and electronics (more than 300 lectures). The course is popular in many countries of the CIS and far abroad and has more than 38,000 regular subscribers.

For many years, the student scientific association “System programming” has been functioning at the department, in which both teachers of the department and our graduates participate. Since the autumn of 2014, under the leadership of Associate Professor Tyagulskaya L.A. the student scientific association “Modern Problems of Mathematics” has begun its work, since 2015  “Information Science and ICT” under the leadership of Associate Professor Shestopal O.V., since 2016  “Study of network technologies using Cisco Packet Tracer and GNS3” under the leadership of Lutsenko I.V., and since 2017  “Actual issues of the research work of students” under the leadership of Associate Professor Tyagulskaya L.A.

When organizing the educational process, teachers widely use teaching aids and laboratory workshops that allow individualizing student learning, as well as distance learning technologies that help organize control of students’ independent work.

Practical classes in computer rooms, physical and electrical laboratories consolidate the theoretical knowledge gained in lectures. Skilled students participate in creative projects. Every year the department holds a student scientific and practical conference, in which both university students and talented pupils of the city and regional schools take part.

II-V-year students carry out active research, design and development work, the results of which are projects: reengineering of the ticker control complex, creation of a visual aids complex for computer science lessons, automation of management of warning and control technical means in educational institutions, expansion of the functionality of the electronic support of academic disciplines. A rich set of virtual machines with various software, etc. has been created and implemented.

Two new resource centers (№22 and № 23), created with the financial support of Russia (ANO “Eurasian Integration”), equipped with modern multimedia facilities, are fully involved in educational and scientific work. Multi-dialogue video conferences and international seminars are organized annually on the basis of the resource centers. The department staff mastered the interactive whiteboard and a refresher course was conducted for employees of other departments to work with it. In addition, its capabilities were demonstrated to school teachers in our city.

Students of the department take an active part in the functioning bodies of student self-government, participate in various competitions held both within the framework of the branch and organized by city and republican organizations. Our students have repeatedly won prizes, defending the honor of the department and the branch as a whole in various intellectual, sports competitions and creative contests of city and republican importance.
