  • механико-машиностроительный факультет (mekhaniko-mashinostroitel'nyi fakul'tet - a mechanical engineering faculty)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• автомобилестроение (avtomobilestroenie - automobile construction): ав-то-мо-би-ле-стро-е-ни-е. Similar syllable structure with compounding.
• радиоэлектроника (radioelektronika - radio electronics): ра-ди-о-э-лек-тро-ни-ка. Shows a similar pattern of combining roots with vowel separation.

The key difference is the length and complexity of the root "машиностроительный," which leads to a more extensive syllable breakdown.
