Woodworking Equipment and Tools Department was founded in the structure of mechanical-technological faculty in 1947. The first head of the Department – Ph.D, Associated Professor, S.M. Timonen was leading the staff till 1976. That was the period when the Department was revived, scientific researches were conducted there and young professionals were formed within the post-graduate studies. V.M.Feleschuk, T.A. Nosovksyy, V.D. Leskiv, V.V. Shostak, V.D. Butenko defended their Ph.D. theses at that time.
From 1976 to 1983 the Department was headed by Ph.D., Associated Professor V.M. Feleschuk. During this period, educational and laboratory basis of the Department were considerably improved, while methodological and scientific and research work was activated. Y.O. Gevryk, S.O. Apostolyuk, M.D. Kiryk defended their Ph.D. theses at that time.
In 1983 Ph.D., Associated Professor M.D.Kiryk was elected Head of the Department. He continued to improved material and technical basis of the Department. Two new laboratories were created, as well as the station for woodcutting and woodworking equipment, computer class was opened and modern stands for educational disciplines were installed.
During the period of 2014-2019 Ph.D., Professor V.V. Shostak, author of over 150 scientific and methodological publications was heading the Department. Since 2014, he served as a deputy head of a special academic council D 35.072.03 in charge of the Ph.D. theses defense at the specialization 05.05.04 – machines for soil, road and forest works.
Since July 2019 the Department is headed by Ph.D., Associated Professor Y.I. Ozymok.
The following disciplines are being thought at the bachelor and masters level: mechanical woodworking; setup and exploitation of woodcutting tools; constructions and settlements of woodworking machines; woodworking equipment; special plants equipment; installing and technical exploitation of woodworking industry equipment; repair organization and technology of machines and equipment of forestry complex; IT in woodworking industry; mechatronics; scientific research of woodworking machines, etc.
As of today, all disciplines are ensured with Ukrainian tutorials, manuals and methodological developments.
The Department edited 7 tutorials and 9 manuals classified the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. Since 1983, 16 Ph.D. (Y.I. Savchuk, M.I. Pylypchuk, O.O. Voloshynskyy, P.P. Onufryk, V.A.

Burdyak, and junior professor Y.R. Kapral, is forming bachelors and masters at the following directions: “Mechanical engineering”, specialization “Applied mechanics”, educational-professional program “Technical service” and specialization “Industrial machine-building” educational-professional program “Engineering, woodworking industry machines”. The Head and the deputy head of a special academic council D 35.072.03 in charge of the Ph.D. theses defense at the specialization 05.05.04 – machines for soil, road and forest works, are working at the Department.
Technical provision of educational process and scientific activities is ensured by the main engineer V.I. Taras and senior laboratory assistant O.I. Zavarynska.
Between 50 and 80 students and 1-2 Ph.D. students are studying at the Department annually, as a fulltime and distance-courses.
