The Department of Information and Measuring Equipment and Metrology was formed in 2014 by merging two structural units. The Department of Information and Measurement Technology established in 1950 served as a source of talented researchers and engineers and even entire teams of highly qualified specialists. Dating back to 1988, the Department of Metrology and Quality Systems was one of the first in Russia to start training metrology and electronics engineers.

Students also take part in research. Their work is carried out, as a rule, under the guidance of lecturers and post-graduate students. The department operates the student design centre “Eltran” and student research societies “Angstrem” and “Delta”. They unite the following areas of research: elaborating and exploring methods and means for measuring and controlling parameters of materials in functional electronics and nanoelectronics; designing systems for non-invasive processing of cardio graphic information; invariant transformation of parameters of electrical circuits and signals; analysis and synthesis of information-measuring and control systems; developing sensors of information, measuring and control systems.

Students of the department become winners and prize-winners of scientific competitions at the regional, national and international levels. They make reports at research-to-practice conferences, which contributes to extended knowledge, professional competencies and increased demand on the labour market.

At the department, research and development work is carried out within the state programmes and enterprises orders. The department received a license from the Federal Space Agency to carry out research in the following areas: creating microprocessor converters for sensors in rocket and space equipment; developing methods and means for monitoring and diagnosing onboard equipment.
