The time of creation of the Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University may well be considered the year 1898, and the place is the distant Polish capital - the city of Warsaw, where the Imperial Polytechnic Institute was opened.
Becoming
In 1915, the educational institution was transferred to Moscow because of the approaching front line of the First World War, and in 1916 - to Nizhny Novgorod, to temporary premises. A recruitment was also made here, and out of four and a half thousand applicants, four hundred people began to study. In 1918, by merging with other educational institutions, the Nizhny Novgorod State University was established, which included, in addition toPolytechnic Institute, People's University, Agricultural Courses, Pedagogical Institute and Medical Courses. In total - six faculties: chemical, mechanical, construction, agronomic, pedagogical and medical.
Then, in 1930, instead of one diverse university, six special ones were formed: civil engineering, agricultural, pedagogical, medical, chemical-technological and mechanical engineering. The Mechanical Engineering Institute became the foundation for the formation of the university, which today is the Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University. Then there were six specializations in the technical department, four each in the design and mechanical departments, and two in the shipbuilding department. The Institute of Chemical Technology had five departments: technologies of the skin (wool, leather), technologies of silicates, wood chemistry, fats and oils, and fundamentals of the chemical industry.
Reorganizations
The future Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University actively develops its departments until 1933, whereby departments are abolished and faculties are formed: production and engineering, shipbuilding and technology. And in 1932, KhTI and MMI merged into the Industrial Institute of the city of Gorky (GII). Faculties: General Technical, Chemical Technology, Transport Engineering and Mechanical Technology.
In 1936, a radio department was opened at the State Institute of Physics, and the transport and engineering department was transformed intoshipbuilding. In 1938, a graduate school was opened. In 1939, the automotive and tractor (automechanical) faculty was opened and the general technical faculty was abolished, since now students begin their specialization right from the first year. From the Faculty of Mechanics and Technology in 1940, a new faculty separated - forging and pressing equipment.
War
The war took two-thirds of the staff, almost five hundred people died in the battles, and six hundred students left the walls of the institute in the very first days. The rest of the faculty, students and staff built defensive fortifications, worked in workshops and laboratories, doing research for the defense industry.
Three hundred people were awarded government awards for their participation in design and scientific work. Students simultaneously studied and worked at defense enterprises. The difficult years were marked by a great victory, to which the Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University also made a huge contribution.
Post-war years
In 1947, reorganization took place again: the radio department was transformed into electrical engineering with two speci alties: electronics and radio engineering. The Faculty of Mechanics united three - forge-and-press, auto-mechanical and mechanical-technological. In 1950, the GII became known as the Gorky Polytechnic Institute. At the same time, the metallurgical faculty was organized, from the electricalseparated radio engineering.
In 1953, the first branch was opened - Sormovsky, and in 1956 the second - Dzerzhinsky. In 1958, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was created. In 1959, the GPI acquires an educational base - the Foundry and Mechanical Plant. In 1962, the Faculty of Physics and Technology was opened. Ten years later, the radio engineering faculty is transformed into a modern one - radio electronics and cybernetics. In 1980, the GPI received the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. In 1992, the university was renamed the Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University.
Our time
In 1993, NSTU acquires a socio-economic faculty. In 2007, by order of the Federal Agency, NSTU received the name: Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University. R. E. Alekseeva. The history of this glorious university is far from over. Everything that happens today will inevitably soon become history, which will certainly be replenished with new achievements.
The development of the educational institution is not completed, the work is moving steadily. Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University. R. E. Alekseeva today has nine research institutes and faculties, five large and well-equipped branches: Arzamas, Dzerzhinsky, Vyksa, Zavolzhsky and Pavlovsky.
ITS
The subdivision of NSTU - the Institute of Transport Systems, which was created by the merger of the Faculty of Aviation and Marine Engineering and the Faculty of Automobiles, is developing dynamically. WithSince 1921 (from its inception), more than twenty-seven thousand highly qualified specialists have prepared and started working for the benefit of the country, including outstanding figures in science and technology, teachers of higher education, major leaders of industry, transport, as well as educational and scientific organizations.
IRITIS
Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University. Alekseev for seventy years has included an educational and scientific unit: an institute that deals with radio electronics and information technology. He has accumulated vast and varied experience, recognized abroad in our country.
Training of personnel, both engineering and scientific, at this institute is at a very high level: among the graduates there are seven Lenin Prize winners, more than fifty State Prize winners, dozens of doctors of science and many hundreds of candidates of science. The leading scientific and engineering staff of the largest research institutes in the industry is to a very large extent staffed by specialists who have been educated here, within the walls of IRIT NSTU. Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University has long been famous for its excellently trained personnel.
Dzerzhinsky Polytechnic Institute
In 1974, an order was signed to establish a branch of the SPI in the city of Dzerzhinsk, and in 2004 the branch was renamed. The history of DPI is tightly connected with the life of the country and, of course, with the history of the head university. Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University named afterAlekseeva participated in the construction of chemical enterprises, in many military defense orders, in the development of the country's engineering industry.
Research institutes were created, the chemical industry developed. Could not stay away from the pressing problems of Russia and Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University. Dzerzhinsky branch is a glorious page in the history of NSTU.
Targeted training
The basic department of DPI deals with chemistry and technology of organic nitrogen compounds. It was created to train specialists for strategic partners - the State Research Institute "Kristalla" and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Plant named after Sverdlov" according to additionally agreed programs. Another basic department of "Modern Technologies of Applied Programming" works for the targeted training of highly qualified specialists at Mera Nizhny Novgorod LLC, deepening and expanding educational, scientific and industrial ties. The third basic department "Power Supply: Design and Automation" is an integrated structure of two departments of the DPI ("Physics and Electrical Engineering" and "Automation and Information Systems") and OJSC "NIPOM" ("Research Enterprise of General Mechanical Engineering").
In addition, the DPI has the following departments: "Chemical technology", "Technology and equipment of chemical and food production", "Automation, transport and information systems", "Energy, economics, applied mathematics", "Humanities". Hereprepare specialists that Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University is proud of: the departments are well equipped with highly qualified specialists and have an excellent modern technical base.
AF NGTU
The branch in Arzamas has existed since 1968, it was created on the basis of a consulting center and an evening faculty. The educational institution was planned as a branch of the MAI. However, despite all the reconstruction and renaming, the main task of the branch has never changed: it trains engineering personnel for radio engineering, aircraft instrumentation, and machine-building speci alties for the entire Volga-Vyatka region, for enterprises in the Gorky region and Arzamas in particular.
From the very beginning, even in the evening department, there were only two hundred and twenty-five students who were taught by twenty teachers. Now there are two and a half thousand students, but Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University still cherishes every graduate. The Arzamas branch has two large faculties, a preparatory department and a Center for Educational Services. Daytime, evening and part-time education. Eighty teachers teach, including five professors, more than forty candidates and doctors of science.
