The department's methodological work is aimed at developing and implementing a system of multi-level training and knowledge control for cadets with different levels of basic knowledge. It encourages cadets to work actively during practical classes and self-study, and allows them to systematically check the level of mastery of lecture and practical material.
The department has developed and implemented a methodology for conducting practical classes in higher mathematics, theoretical mechanics, applied mechanics and resistance of materials with different levels of basic knowledge. It encourages cadets to work not only during practical classes, but also in independent preparation. Its essence is as follows. For all topics in the discipline (there are more than 30 of them), multilevel tasks have been developed: from the simplest level 1 to the most difficult level 6. One version of all or part of the problems is solved on the board. After that, each cadet receives his or her own individual task and works under the guidance of a teacher in the classroom or computer lab. If any questions arise in the process of solving a problem, the cadet can ask the teacher or pay attention to the peculiarities of solving this problem with the help of a computer. After all, each topic contains a detailed analysis of solving similar problems of all six levels. In addition, the introduction to each topic contains the most necessary theoretical information (without proof).
Since the establishment of the department, 10 textbooks have been published and implemented in the educational process: Sokil B.I., Pelekh M.P., Shpak O.O. Design and calculation of the mechanical drive of a technological machine, Velichko L.D. Methods of solving and collection of problems in linear algebra and analytical geometry, Velichko L.D., Sokil M.B, Methods of solving and collection of tasks on mathematical analysis, Velychko L.D. Methods of solving and collection of tasks on probability theory, Velychko L.D. Methods of solving and collection of tasks on differential equations, Vrublevsky I.I. Verkhola I.I. Methodical instructions and variants of tasks in the discipline “Engineering Graphics”, Velychko L.D, Pak R.M., Sokil M.B. Theoretical mechanics in lectures and practical tasks. Statics, Pelekh M.P., Sokil M.B., Park R.M., Verkhola I.I. Test tasks on machine parts, Velychko L.D., Verkhola I.I., Kovalchuk R.A. Applied Mechanics, B.I. Sokil, A.I. Andrukhiv, O.V. Bilash, T.Y. Hlova, N.M. Guzyk, H.I. Lishchynska “Collection of military-applied problems in higher mathematics”.
The department has created 6 educational and demonstration films: “Transmission Mechanisms in Mechanics”, “The Principle of Gearbox Operation”, “Strength Calculation of Engineering Structures by the Finite Element Method”, “Contribution of Ukrainian Mathematicians and Mechanics to the Development of World Science” (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3).
Currently, work is underway on the methodological support of other disciplines in relation to the course of military specialties.
Research and teaching staff of the Department of Engineering Mechanics (Armament and Engineering of Engineering Troops) annually take an active part in the methodological activities of the National Army Academy, the Faculty of Training of Combat (Operational) Support Specialists and other structural units of the National Academy.

The academic staff of the department has been repeatedly recognized by the command of the National Academy for their high methodological skills. The department constantly presents the best practices in teaching cadets, conducting demonstration and open classes.
The Department of Engineering Mechanics (OTIV) is constantly actively involved in scientific (scientific and practical) conferences and seminars for the purpose of further use of their materials in the educational process.
