Computer and Information Centre was created in 1977. Computing machines such as "ES" were the primary technical basis during that period. Since personal computers have replaced 1985 machines such as "ES." At that time, the Computer and Information Centre was involved in developing software and maintaining the educational process, satellite television, creating and developing a local network with access to the Internet. It was also analyzing, testing, and implementing the most promising technical means of training (TMT) based on new types of projectors and computers. Today, 20 projectors are involved in the educational process that allows them to meet departments' needs while delivering lectures and defending diploma projects. In 1995, an information LAN was created, Computer and Information Centre modernizes and expands it. To increase the bandwidth of the network, fiber-optic communication technology has been implemented in some buildings. The fiber-optic network has been laid on the campus and the Faculty of Mechatronics. LAN and a server with a separate line with access to the Internet have been created a Faculty of Mechatronics. To improve the KhNAHU LAN in the building of the Faculty of Foreign Citizens Training, there is a server room that supports internal and external communication channels and provides 24/7 access to the university web-resources, e-mail, and educational portal. Today the university is connected to the Ukrainian Scientific and Educational Network URAN, and MaxNet network with a total bandwidth of 41 Mbit/s.1350 computers operate in the KhNAHU in the 50 computer rooms. All of them have access to the Internet. Today, all types of work on students' personal records, collecting statistical information, managing contingent movement, etc., are automated. One of the main tasks of ACS-University is the creation of automated means of managing the educational process. Implementation of the Dekanat sub-system has made it possible to perform a wide range of tasks related to supporting the educational process. Educational television studio works in the Computer and Information Centre, its stuff shoots and creates films, the latter of which is KhNAHU-2009. The Department of Standardization and Metrology was founded in 1993 based on the standardization office and the chief University metrologist office. The fund of the department regulatory documents (RD) has more than 5100 units and consists of the state standards of Ukraine (SSU), state building codes (SBC), international standards, and standards of the former Soviet Union (GOST). Also, the fund has many industry standards in the automobile industry, standards of Ukraine harmonized with the standards of ISO, EN, IEC, the rules of UN/ECE, etc. The department also receives periodicals, such as the "Standardization, Certification, Quality" magazine. In 2001 the department took first place and was awarded the first degree among all Kharkiv metrological services of scientific and educational institutions. The department converted the regulatory documents into an electronic form that has never been done in Ukraine before. To simplify using standards as reference material, the department is converting the standards onto electronic media. More than 200 standards have already been converted into electronic form. The department provides testing laboratories with advice in their certification or accreditation. It serves teaching staff, students, and technical cooperation, outside organizations and individuals (selection, review of regulative documentation, consultation on standardization, metrology, and certification).
