Career

edit

Shchokin received his primary and secondary education in Ukraine. He received his Engineering Diploma from Odessa Polytechnic Institute in 1967. From 1976 until 2001, Shchokin taught Theoretical Mechanics, Mechanics of Machines, Resistance of Materials, Applied Mechanics, Machine Design, Robotics and Automation and Mechatronics in Mechanical Engineering Department of Odessa National Polytechnic University, Ukraine (1979-2001), Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Information Science of University of Miskolc, Hungary (1981-1990), Faculty of Engineering of University of Cienfuegos, Cuba (1987). In 1990, he became a Professor of Mechanical Engineering Department in Odessa National Polytechnic University. In 1995 he became the member of IFToMM (International Federation for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms) Technical Committee on Gearing.[5][6] In 2001, Shchokin accepted a Research Associate position in Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering of Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. Then from 2004 and until 2011, he was adjunct professor in Ryerson University, Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Science on the basis of his work in parallel and distributed manipulators at Robotic and Manufacturing Automation Lab.[7] In 2006, Shchokin was made a Honorary Professor of Miskolc University, Faculty of Engineering, Hungary.[8]

Books and papers

edit
  • The theory of machines and mechanisms[9]
