Research in many technologies has been conducted at this educational 
institute, but emphasis has been on chemical engineering. Some areas of 
investigation have been organic chemistry and synthesis, semiconductors, 
metallurgy, foundry problems, structural mechanics, and industrial gas 
turbines. Radar studies of stellar mechanics also have been made. 
The Institute developed and operates a 7,600,000-volt generator. 
In 1959, working with the Khar'’kov Electric Machinery Plant, the Institute 
participated in developing the first Soviet system using a digital program 
to control a heavy lathe. The Institute also designed a new unipolar pulse 
generator for ENIMS (Experimental Scientific-Research Institute of Metal- 
Cutting Machine Tools). During the IGY, it built its first ionosphere 
station. It publishes a Trudy. 
The Ukrainian Correspondence Polytechnic Institute, in Khar'kov, 
is a branch of the Polytechnic Institute.
