Bauman Moscow State Technical University
The Moscow Craft School was founded in 1830. In 1868 it was reorganized into the Imperial Moscow Technical School. Its main purpose was to educate construction engineers, mechanical engineers and industrial technologists. It achieved outstanding results in technology, chemical, food and textile industry, metal and wood treatment, and mechanical sciences. A lot of outstanding scientists taught in IMTS, such as D. Mendeleev, N. Jukovsky, P. Chebychev, S. Chaplygin, A. Yershov, D. Sovetkin, F. Dmitriev, A. Letnikov, A. Gavrilenko. In the Soviet period it was renamed into Moscow Higher Technical School (MHTS) which trained engineers for machine and instrument building. In 1938 new military departments were created in MHTS to provide specialists for tank, artillery, and ammunition industries. In 1948 the Rocket department was added to them. In 1989 the Moscow Higher Technical School was given the name of the Technical University (BMSTU). BMSTU was the first Russian technical university. Nearly 200.000 engineers graduated from the University.
Today BMSTU has 19 departments providing full-time education. More than 19,000 students study in BMSTU, and specialties cover all range of modern machine and instrument building. More than 2000 PhDs teach and do research in BMSTU. The University carries research basing on eight technological platforms. The University conducts 90 considerable scientific programs in different fields. BMSTU is Skolkovo founder.
The strategy of the University is to provide human resources for cutting-edge areas of Russian science and technology including information and communication systems; nanosystems and materials industry; power supply and conservation; biosystems; security and counterterrorism; transportation and aerospace systems; promising military equipment.
