Department of Electronics, Telecommunications and Space Technologies

Department mission:

We train highly qualified, competitive, erudite, creatively and innovatively thinking professional engineering personnel capable of solving production problems in the rapidly developing electronic, telecommunications and space industries.

Our Three Key Areas of Training

We train specialists with a broad professional profile within a multilevel system of education — Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral programs:

1. Electronics – Study and development of modern electronic systems, technologies, and the hardware foundation of the digital world.

2. Telecommunications – Design, management, and optimization of multichannel communication systems that enable global information exchange (historically, related specialties were merged in 2004).

3. Space Technologies – Development of onboard control systems, supervisory control for nanosatellites, and concepts of space-based power systems.

Innovations and Advanced Research Projects

The Department of  «Electronics, Telecommunications, and Space Technologies (ETiKT)» actively conducts research aimed at addressing current technological and environmental challenges:

Space Energy and Engineering: Development of the concept and prototype of a solar space power station, as well as test stands and information technologies for the functional processing of nanosatellite onboard control systems.

Environmental and Water Monitoring: Creation of a wireless distributed monitoring system for detecting pollution in wastewater caused by antibiotics and aggressive pharmaceuticals.

New Water Purification Methods: Development of installations for wastewater disinfection using high-frequency corona discharge ozonation. A project proposal has been submitted to the International Space Station (ISS) competition to study wastewater purification in microgravity conditions.

Cooperation with the Lublin University of Technology

Material and technical base

We are constantly working on the development, modernization and strengthening of the material and technical base of the department’s educational laboratories. This includes equipping with modern software systems and their widespread implementation in the educational process.

Brief history of formation

The department’s history began in 1971 with the establishment of the Department of “Industrial Electronics” at the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering. In 1989, it was renamed the “Electronics of Computing Equipment” (EAE) Department. In 2004, several specializations (“Multichannel Telecommunication Systems,” “Industrial Electronics,” and others) were merged into a single specialization — “Radio Engineering, Electronics, and Telecommunications.” The department received its current name — the Department of “Electronics, Telecommunications, and Space Technologies” — in 2018.
