Choose Your Future Today: Faculty Representatives Visit Ivano-Frankivsk Lyceum No. 11!

Today, November 27, representatives of the Faculty of Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics held an important career guidance meeting with 11th-grade students of Ivano-Frankivsk Lyceum No. 11. Since the admission campaign is just around the corner, the conversation was highly practical and informative.

The event was conducted by:

• Tetiana Honcharenko — Dean of the Faculty, Associate Professor at the Department of Physics;

• Volodymyr Tatochenko — Head of the Department of Algebra, Geometry, and Mathematical Analysis;

• Maksym Poltoratskyi — Assistant to the Rector for Digitalization, Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering.

Today, November 27, as part of the in-person study week, Vitaliy Novoselskyi, a PhD student in Software Engineering (Specialty F2) and a Full Stack Developer, held a lecture on the topic "The Anatomy of Firmware (Software) of Home Devices."

The lecture focused on demystifying embedded systems and exploring the practical aspects of security for Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

That is why today, November 27, representatives of the Faculty of Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics met with 9th-grade students of Ivano-Frankivsk Lyceum No. 5.

With the 10th and 11th grades still ahead, the students have the perfect opportunity to make a deliberate and conscious choice about their future profession—without any rush.

The students met with:

• Tetiana Honcharenko — Dean of the Faculty, Associate Professor at the Department of Physics;
