Moscow State Technical University (National Research University)

History

In 1826 Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna issued a Decree on the establishment in the German Quarter “large workshops for various crafts, with bedrooms, with a dining room, and other needs” at the Moscow Orphanage. Fulfilling the will of his mother, Emperor Nicholas I

On July 1, 1830, on the draft “Regulations on the vocational educational institution” presented to him, he wrote with his own hand: “To be according to this.” July 1 is considered the founding day of the university. The first graduation of MCEI – Moscow Craft Educational Institution was in 1839.

In 1855 remaining formally a craft institution, MCEI stood on a par with the higher technical educational institutions of the Russian Empire both in terms of its structure and organization of the educational process, and in terms of the qualifications of its graduates.

After 1917, the school went through a series of transformations. In 1918 it became known as the Moscow Higher Technical School (MVTU). Students were admitted to four faculties: mechanical, civil engineering, chemical, electrical. The aerohydrodynamic, automotive, chemical and technological laboratories separated, which gave life to such research institutes as the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI), the All-Union Institute of Aviation Materials (VIAM), the Central Institute of Aviation Motors (CIAM), the Scientific Automotive Institute (NAMI).

The school underwent a major transformation in 1930. On March 20, 1930, in accordance with order No. 1053 of the Supreme Economic Council of the USSR, MVTU was divided into five independent higher technical schools: mechanical engineering, aeromechanical, energy, engineering and construction, chemical and technological. The Mechanical Engineering School (formerly the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering), which remained in the former building of the Moscow Higher Technical School, was soon renamed the Moscow Mechanical Engineering Institute (MMMI), which in the same 1930 was named after the Bolshevik revolutionary N. E. Bauman. On the basis of other schools, technical universities were organized, which later became the largest educational institutions: the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI), the Moscow Power Engineering Institute (MPEI), the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute (MISI), the Military Chemical Academy of the Red Army, etc.

In 1948, the Faculty of Advanced Rocket Research in the field of flight theory was created, with which the activities at Moscow Higher Technical School of the creator of the world’s first intercontinental ballistic missile R-7 and the founder of Russian cosmonautics S.P. Korolev are connected.

July 12, 1955 by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR MVTU. N. E. Bauman was awarded the Order of Lenin in connection with the 125th anniversary of its founding and for merits in the development of science and technology and the training of highly qualified personnel.

A multi-storey main building was erected on Rubtsovskaya Embankment in 1960.

In 1997 MSTU named after N. E. Bauman was admitted to the association of engineering universities in Europe TIME, which makes it possible to recognize university diplomas by member universities of the association in 11 countries of Western Europe. In 2005 MSTU celebrated its 175th anniversary. On September 5, 2002, the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. N. E. Bauman”, and on December 31, 2002, a corresponding order of the Government of the Russian Federation was issued.

In August 2008, at the Educational and Laboratory Building of the Moscow State Technical University. N. E. Bauman, an underground passage was opened under the Hospital Lane.

October 7, 2009 MSTU named after N. E. Bauman won the competitive selection of university development programs and was awarded the status of “national research university”.

About University

Moscow State Technical University named after N.E. Bauman (National Research University) trains engineers for machine-building enterprises, for aircraft and rocket building and other science-intensive industries.

MSTU im. N.E. Bauman is the flagship university of the national program “digital economy”. The university trains specialists capable of creating a technological base for ultra-fast computing, quantum computers, engineers of complex communication systems, programmers-developers.

The university designs and builds spaceports, aviation and space engines, trains designers and developers of space and aviation technology.

Graduates design and develop industrial, domestic, medical robots, create autopilots, navigation systems and automated industrial complexes.

The university trains specialists for advanced areas of energy: nuclear reactors, plasma accelerators, jet technology. Students and graduates create life support systems for space systems and submarines, efficient air and water filtration systems, and develop integrated solutions for industrial ecology.

Training of specialists to perform all engineering tasks: from the construction and design of spaceports, aircraft and space engines to the creation of aircraft.

The university trains practitioners who are able to create material with pre-programmed characteristics.

MSTU occupies a leading position among the country’s universities in terms of the total volume of research and development work (up to seven billion rubles annually). The university has developed an innovative structure, which includes 22 world-class research and educational centers. Their distinguishing feature is their multidisciplinarity, which makes it possible to create a technological breakthrough at the intersection of sciences.

More than 21,000 students study at Bauman University, 81.5% of them study on a budgetary basis. About 2.5% of applicants enter here based on the results of Olympiads, more than 28% – according to the target quota, in directions from various enterprises and organizations.

The number of students enrolled in integrated areas of training is distributed as follows:

17.02% – “Engineering”,

16.51% – “Aviation and rocket and space technology”,

12.8% – “Computer science and computer technology”,

6.9% – “Management in technical systems”,

5.95% – “Electronics, radio engineering and communication systems”,

5.94% – “Photonics, instrumentation, optical and biotechnical systems and technologies”,

5.64% — “Information security”,

4.34% – “Economics and Management”,

3.49% – “Physical and technical sciences and technologies”,

It trains engineers capable of developing new generation equipment and working in the field of high technologies. Students receive not only high-quality technical education, but also acquire skills in the field of economics, management, entrepreneurship, law, and learn foreign languages.

The employment rate of graduates is very high. More than half of the students start working already in their senior years. Students are actively involved in research work. Among the employers are corporations such as Rosatom, Rostec, Roskosmos, Gazprom, Transneft, Mail.ru, Group IB, etc.

Hostel

The university has several hostels. All hostels are equipped with durable furniture and good appliances, most have kitchens, as well as wireless and wired internet. Accommodation in rooms is designed for 2-4 people with all necessary pieces of furniture. Hostels are also equipped with video surveillance cameras for the safety of students.
