I'm a first–year student of the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy (UEPA). It is the only higher educational establishment in Ukraine that specializes in training teacher-engineers. It trains specialists who having a good engineering knowledge and deep psychological-pedagogical training, can work in vocational-technical schools, technical secondary schools, colleges, secondary schools, training and employment centers, as well as higher educational establishments and industrial enterprises.

UEPA's graduates can work as:

- teachers of general technical and specialized disciplines;

- instructors of industrial training;

- teachers for specialized classes at secondary school;

- organizers, methodologists of vocational school;

- engineers in different branches of science and technology.

Today 11 000 students study at the UEPA. The Academy has 8 departments: power engineering; machine building; mechanical technological; radio electronics, electrical engineering and computer systems; social economical; technological; electrical technological (Artermovsk), and mining (Stakhanov). The Academy has been set up on the basis of the Ukrainian Extra-Mural Polytechnical Institute (UZPI) that during 1958-1990 has been the leading educational establishment of the country in the field of training engineering personnel without discontinuing work. The gained academic and scientific methodological potential allowed the UZPI to be reorganized into the Kharkiv Engineering Pedagogics Institute in 1990 and into the Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy of the 4^th accreditation level in 1994. Our Academy gives students a solid scientific background and prepares them for practical work. About 400 teachers provide students with a high level of training. Among them 40 professors and doctors of sciences, 240 senior lecturers and candidates of sciences. They all carry out research work in different fields of knowledge and supervise the research work of their students. Full-time students study five years. After four years of study and successful examinations students can get their first degree Bachelor, if they go on with their studies they get the second degree, Specialist and then the third degree Master, which allows them to apply for a more qualified work. Our Academy provides every opportunity for mastering the chosen profession. It has a large library with more than 1 mln. books and periodicals, large classroom for lectures and seminars, well-equipped laboratories where students can do their lab works and make experiments. It also has a computering centre, 5 computer classes and Internet. The Academy has a stadium and is famous for its Rugby team. Those who have various talents can engage in students' societies, clubs, and amateur performances. Out-of-town students live in hostels which become their homes for five years of study. I will do my best to become a good specialist.
