Department of road construction materials and chemistry

Volodymyr MOZGHOVYI – Head of the Department of Road Construction Materials and Chemistry, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Excellence in Education of Ukraine, Honorary Road Worker of Ukraine, Academician of the Transport Academy of Ukraine. He was awarded the badge “For Scientific Achievements”, the Certificate of Honor of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine “For Special Merits to the Ukrainian People”, the badge “For Scientific and Educational Achievements”, and the medal “Labor Glory”, II degree. He has the honorary title of Honored Worker of Transport of Ukraine.

The department was created during the organization of the institute in 1944, as one of the profiles under the name “Department of Road Construction Materials”. It was headed by Professor K. S. Terenetskyi Since 1952, the department was reorganized and named “Department of Road Construction and Operation”. Since 1969, this department has been headed by Professor H. K. Siuni In 1976, this division was divided into the Department of Road Construction and Operation (Professor V. M. Sidenko) and the Department of Road Construction Materials (Professor H. K. Siuni). In 1987, the Department of Road Construction Materials was merged with the Department of Chemistry. The joint department was headed by Professor N. H. Parkhomenko During this period, the section of road construction materials was managed by the world-renowned scientist, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor B. S. Radovskyi. From 1997 to the present, the Department of Road Construction Materials and Chemistry is headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Volodymyr Mozghovyi.

Since 2002, on the initiative and with the participation of V.V. Mozghovyi, the department at NTU was the first among higher education institutions specializing in road construction to begin training specialists in the technology of building structures, products, and materials, focused on the needs of transport construction. Since then, the department has specialized in training specialists in the educational program “Technologies of Building Structures, Products and Materials” (specialty G19 “Construction and Civil Engineering”). To this end, the educational and methodological support of the educational process has been expanded, educational and industrial internships have been organized, and business contacts with potential employers for graduates have been established and are constantly maintained and developed.

Branches of the department at the State enterprise “National Institute for Development Infrastructure” (SE “NIDI”) and State Enterprise “Road Scientific and Technical Center” (SE “DORCENTR”).

In 2004, the scientific research laboratory “Technology of materials and constructions of transport construction named after Prof. H. K. Siuni.” The laboratory was created to develop and implement the latest scientific achievements in advanced technologies, materials and structures in transport construction. The scientific research laboratory includes the “Testing laboratory of the quality of transport construction materials”, which, according to the results of the audit of the state of measurement systems, meets the requirements of DSTU ISO 10012:2005 (Certificate No. 06-0019/2024 dated April 22, 2024).

Since 2017, the department has been training specialists in specialty G2 “Environmental protection technologies” educational program “Environmental protection technologies at gas stations and construction industry enterprises”.

The department has permanent student research clubs, and students regularly participate in contractual, budgetary projects, scientific conferences, publishing scientific abstracts and articles. After graduation, students can continue their studies in a postgraduate program, and some of them become university staff. The department always helps graduates find jobs and keeps in touch with them.
