The rapid development of computer technology is one of the hallmarks of modern society. State-of-the-art technologies, which are the main component of the computer, are penetrating all spheres of human activity. Computer technologies are used in manufacturing, libraries, banks, Internet and management systems, design industries, etc. In these circumstances, the demand for information technology specialists continues to grow. Solving this problem is a major challenge for the Department of Computer Engineering and Electronics.
Background:
In 1999, the Department of Radiophysics and Electronics was established at the Physics Faculty of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University.

The Department of Radio Physics and Electronics was established to train specialists for the radio electronics industry. The initiator of the establishment of the department was Professor, Dean of the Faculty of Physics, Candidate of Physical and Mechanical Sciences Klanichka M.V.
The first employees of the Department of Radio Physics and Electronics were: Melnyk P.I.; Lishchynsky I.M.; Ph.D. Kohut I.T.; Ph.D. Novosyadlyi S.P.; Zapuhlyak R.I.In 2006, the Department was headed by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Viktor Petrovych Makhnii, and from 2006 to 2012, the Department was headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Stepan Petrovych Novosyadlyi, a well-known scientist in the field of microelectronics, with extensive practical experience in the development and implementation of advanced technological processes at microelectronics enterprises “Krystal” (Kyiv), “Positron” (Ivano-Frankivsk).
Since 2012, the department has been headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Kohut Igor Timofeevich, a well-known scientist in the field of microelectronics, with extensive practical experience in the development and design of large integrated circuits at the microelectronics enterprise “Positron” (Ivano-Frankivsk). In 2012, the Department of Radio Physics and Electronics was renamed the Department of Computer Engineering and Electronics.
The department has defended theses for the degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences – Novosyadly S.P. (Chernivtsi Research Institute of Thermoelectricity, 2003), Kohut I.T. (Lviv Polytechnic National University, 2010), Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Mandziuk V.I. (Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, 2019), theses for the degree of Candidate of Technical Sciences Golota V.I. (National University “Lviv Polytechnic”, 2009), Dovhy V.V. (Chernivtsi National University named after Yuriy Fedkovych, 2017), Kotyk M.V. (Chernivtsi National University named after Yuriy Fedkovych, 2019), Doctor of Philosophy Benko T.G. (Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, 2024).
Leading engineers and senior laboratory assistants worked at the department: Onufryk Oleg Pavlovych, Danylyuk Olga Vasylivna, Varvaruk Vasyl Mykolayovych, Berezhansky Volodymyr Mykhailovych, Fryk Oksana Bogdanivna.
