Presentation of scientific research

Scientific journal "Computer Design Systems. Theory and Practice"
Scientific journal of the Lviv Polytechnic National University "Computer Design Systems. Theory and Practice" is published once a year, starting in 2019. The magazine is the legal successor of the collection of scientific works "Bulletin of the National University "Lviv Polytechnic". Series: "Computer systems of design. Theory and practice"
The scientific journal highlights the results of the theory and practice of modeling complex objects, processes and systems, as well as the development and use of software for automated design.

Conference CADSM
Since 1991, the department has been holding the International Scientific and Technical Conference "Experience of Designing and Application of CAD Systems in Microelectronics" (CADSM).

Conference MEMSTECH
Since 2005, the department has been holding the International Scientific and Technical Conference "Perspective technologies and methods in MEMS design" (MEMSTECH).

Conference CADMD
Since 2004, the department has been holding a Ukrainian-Polish conference "CAD in Machinery Design Implementation and Educational Issues".
Main areas of international cooperation
- Participation of teachers, graduate students and students in international meetings, seminars and conferences.
