Kazan Technical University named after Tupolev. Russian universities

The Kazan Aviation Institute was formed on the basis of the Aerodynamic Department of Kazan State University by the decision of the Main Directorate of the Aviation Industry of the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry on March 5, 1932.

At the beginning, the institute consisted of two departments: aerodynamic and aircraft building, on the basis of which the aircraft building faculty was officially opened in 1934 (the first dean was K. A. Arkhipov).

In 1945, the first department of jet engines in the higher education institutions of the country was organized at the institute, and the future academician V.P. Glushko, the founder of the domestic rocket engine building, was invited to head it. Among its first teachers were S.P. Korolev, later the chief designer of the country's rocket and space systems, Professor G.S. Zhiritsky, after whom one of the Moon's craters was named.

In 1951, a new faculty of aviation instrumentation was opened at the institute (the first dean was V.V. Maksimov). In 1952, the Faculty of Aviation Radio Engineering was created, which soon became the largest in the institute (the first dean was V. I. Popovkin).

In the mid-1950s, scientific schools gained full strength and gained all-Union fame: motion stability, strength of aircraft structures, optimal processes, aircraft engine building, advanced technological processes, etc. Evidence of the recognition of their authority was the fact that in 1956 KAI was formed Council for awarding the degree of Doctor of Sciences.

Today KNITU-KAI is a modern educational and research complex recognized in Russia and abroad, which trains highly qualified personnel for high-tech industries. Over the 85-year history, traditions have developed at KNRTU-KAI, allowing the university to occupy high positions among technical universities in Russia. The material and technical base is being modernized, the educational process is being improved, ties with production are being strengthened, and international cooperation is developing. KNRTU-KAI becomes the center of attraction - a university that corresponds to the best world standards.

The scientific potential of the university is: 7 research institutes, 1 faculty, 45 departments, 11 research and educational centers, 2 colleges, 1 business incubator, 48 research laboratories. More than 3000 teachers, scientists and engineers work here, including over 120 doctors of sciences and professors, among them 17 academicians and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences of Tatarstan and the International Academy of Sciences of Higher Education, more than 700 doctors and candidates of sciences.

Kazan National Research Technical University named after A. N. Tupolev(tat. Kazan dәүlәt technique universities, Qazan dəwlət tecknika university), the former Kazan Aviation Institute (KAI) - was founded in 1932, received university status in 1992. On October 7, 2009, the university received a new official status as a national research university.

background

On June 21, 1758, “for the reproduction of sciences”, by decree of the Senate, the First Gymnasium was opened in Kazan, which was the first in the province and for a long time remained the only one after St. Petersburg and Moscow. She was "under the main department" of Moscow University, from where she received the Charter, teachers and money.

In 1789, by order of the landowner Molostov, a two-story residential building was built according to the project of the architect F. Yemelyanov. The city authorities bought this building for the gymnasium, and in view of the fact that the residential building for the educational institution was too small, it was decided to complete it. The left wing of the new building of the gymnasium was a former residential building, it was connected by a portico of six columns with a new wing and a third floor with a dome.

For special merits in education and enlightenment and in connection with the centennial anniversary, the gymnasium was awarded the title of Imperial. Not a single gymnasium in Russia has been awarded this honor.

In 1804, the Imperial Gymnasium served as a base for the establishment of Kazan University. From 1804 to 1814, both educational institutions were under the same director and existed together. Gymnasium graduates automatically became university students.

In 1917, the fate of the gymnasium changed dramatically and, as a hotbed of "highbrow opposition", was actually dissolved by the new authorities. From these years, the owners of the building have been constantly changing, and only during the years of the collapse of the NEP, it was transferred to the university.

In 1932, the building of the former first Imperial Gymnasium was handed over.

Story

On March 5, 1932, by decision of the Main Directorate of the Aviation Industry of the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry, the Kazan Aviation Institute was founded on the basis of the aerodynamic department of Kazan State University.

At first, the institute had two departments: aircraft building and aerodynamics. In 1934, on the basis of these departments, the aircraft building faculty was opened, the first dean of which was K. A. Arkhipov.

Since the beginning of the existence of the institute, research work has also been carried out in it. In particular, N. G. Chetaev created the scientific school of general mechanics. The development of this direction did not go unnoticed and in 1940 Chetaev was transferred to work in Moscow, where in 1944 he became director of the Institute of Mechanics of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

In 1933, the Institute began to publish "Proceedings of KAI" - collections of scientific articles. The first defenses of Ph.D. theses also began in 1933. In the period up to 1941, candidate and doctoral dissertations were defended by G. V. Kamenkov (future rector of the Moscow Aviation Institute), Kh. M. Mushtari, I. G. Malkin, and others.

Among the design developments one can note the single- and twin-engine aircraft created in the KAI Design Bureau in 1933-1939, on which several official records were set.

Since 1939, the engine-building faculty has been functioning at KAI (the first dean was Chuslyaev A.A.). S. V. Rumyantsev, who later became the rector of KAI, and then the deputy minister of higher education of the USSR, rector of the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University, was appointed head of the aircraft engines department.

During the Great Patriotic War, KAI accepted a number of evacuated units and laboratories of the Institute of Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences, TsAGI, (LII), the Research Institute of the Civil Air Fleet, as well as the entire staff. In the period from 1941 to 1943, leading aerodynamic scientists A. A. Dorodnitsyn, S. A. Khristianovich, V. V. Struminsky, headed by the future president of the USSR Academy of Sciences M. V. Keldysh, worked within the walls of KAI.

In 1945, the department of jet engines was organized at the institute - the only one among the universities of the country. The future academician V.P. Glushko was invited as the head of the department, and S.P. Korolev, G.S. Zhiritsky were among the first teachers.

The development of aviation prompted the creation of new faculties: in 1951, the Faculty of Aviation Instrumentation, (the first dean - Maksimov V.V.), in 1952 - the Faculty of Aviation Radio Engineering, which soon became the largest in the institute (the first dean - Popovkin V.I.) .

In the mid-1950s, such scientific schools as motion stability, strength of aircraft structures, optimal processes, aircraft engine building, advanced technological processes, etc. received all-Union recognition. As a result of their work and recognition of achievements, it was that in 1956 KAI the Council for awarding the scientific degree of Doctor of Sciences was formed.

Since 1958, the publication of a new scientific series of journals "News of Higher Educational Institutions" began. For the direction, "Aviation Technology" responsible for aviation, responsibility was assigned to the institute. The magazine is still being published today, while the magazine is distributed in 30 countries of the world, and, in particular, is published in English in the USA as Soviet Aeronautic.

The development of information technologies prompted the opening of the Faculty of Computing and Control Systems (the first dean since 1972 was Yu. V. Kozhevnikov). In 1973, the institute received the name of the outstanding Soviet aircraft designer A. N. Tupolev. In March 1982, the Institute was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples in honor of the 50th anniversary of the educational institution.

During the years of perestroika, the institute began global reorganization work, and in 1987 for the first time in the universities of the city held the election of the rector. Professor G. L. Degtyarev became the first alternative rector - by 2012 - the President of the University.

In 1991, a new faculty of management, economics, finance and entrepreneurship was founded at the institute (the first dean was Sirazetdinov T.K.).

The reorganization processes started in the 1980s continued into the 1990s. So in 1992, the Kazan Aviation Institute was transformed into Kazan State Technical University (KSTU). Having become a technical university, KAI began to expand the areas and specialties of higher education. In 1992, the Center for Continuing Education (CCE) was established - the first director Vatolin A.K. - Garaev K. G.), in 2003 - the Faculty of Economic Theory and Law (Dean Khasanova A. Sh.) and the Faculty of Psychology and Business Administration (Dean Gabdreev R. V.).

In 1999, on the basis of the faculties of aircraft and aircraft engines, the Institute of Aviation, Land Transport and Energy (IANTE) was formed. The first director - Dregalin A.F. The use of a multi-level system for training specialists has begun: specialist-engineer, bachelor and master.

Further restructuring led to the fact that in 2003, on the basis of the Faculty of Radio Engineering, the Institute of Radio Electronics and Telecommunications (IRET) was formed, director Shcherbakov G.I. social technologies, business and innovative technologies.

In 1933, the defense of Ph. In 1937, the first defense of doctoral dissertations by G. V. Kamenkov, Kh. M. Mushtari, and I. G. Malkin took place. Along with theoretical research, design developments were also successfully carried out at the institute. In 1933-1939, the KAI Design Bureau created a series of single- and twin-engine aircraft, in which new ideas and design solutions were embodied for that time (hovering ailerons, retractable landing gear, elastic wing, etc.). A number of official records were set on these aircraft.

In 1939, a motor-building faculty was opened at KAI (the first dean was Chuslyaev A. A.). S. V. Rumyantsev became the head of the department of aircraft engines, later rector of KAI, then deputy.

Kazan National Research Technical University named after A. N. Tupolev(Tat. A. N. Tupolev isemendage Kazan milli tiksherenu technik universities), the former Kazan Aviation Institute (KAI) - was formed in 1932, received university status in 1992. On October 7, 2009, the university received a new official status as a national research university.

Story

Check information.

At first, the institute had two departments: aircraft building and aerodynamics, and the first was created by transferring the entire contingent of students, graduate students and teachers of the aerodynamic department of Kazan State University to the institute, and the second was to be formed by transferring students from other Kazan universities.

Temporary fulfillment of duties of director of KAI concurrently was entrusted to the director of KSU N-B. Z. Vekslina (part-time). N. G. Chetaev became the deputy director for educational and scientific work, and M. N. Popov, assistant for the administrative and economic part.

The very next day after the decision to organize the institute, that is, on March 6, a meeting of the leadership of the KAI was held, at which priority measures were outlined: the premises of the university where the institute would begin its work were determined; a selection committee was created to select candidates for the aircraft building department from among students of Kazan universities; the question of the possibility of attracting teachers and engineering and technical workers from other universities of Kazan to work at the institute was considered; it was decided to immediately send N. G. Chetaev to Moscow to develop, together with the Glavaviaprom, a curriculum and programs, as well as to select teachers for special disciplines of the aircraft building department.

The premises for the new institute were allocated at the corner of Chernyshevsky and Gostinodvorskaya (now Kremlin and Chernyshevsky) streets.

1. In accordance with the publication in Krasnaya Tatariya of March 6, 1932, of the decision of the OK of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, separate the aerodynamic department from the KSU, transferring it completely to the Director of the Aviation Institute of Glavaviaprom after the order of the People's Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR. (...) 4 To ensure uninterrupted educational work at the aerodynamic department (AO) of the Aviation Institute, transfer to its use the premises occupied by JSC KSU in the former mechanical office (1st floor of the building of the former Rector's Apartment), until the institute is fully located in a building specially designated for it.

Due to lack of space, a memorandum was sent from KAI to the head of the Main Directorate of the Aviation Industry, Baranov P.I., demanding assistance in moving no later than May 15 to the building of the former Forestry Engineering Institute on Karl Marx Street (now the 1st building of KNRTU-KAI). On April 8, it was ordered to transfer to KAI the first stream of AO physics and mathematics, which was stated in the minutes of the meeting under the first director of KAI Vekslin Nanson-Ber Zalmanovich (part-time director of KSU).

N. G. Chetaev, P. A. Shirokov, E. I. Grigoriev, Yu. A. Radtsig, B. M. Stolbov, N. I. Dvinyaninov, V. G. Voidinov .

In May 1932, an order was issued to organize the first departments of the institute: aerodynamics, structural mechanics, mathematics, theoretical mechanics, a joint department of social disciplines and a department of languages.

In June 1932, by order of Glavaviaprom, a graduate of the Novocherkassk Aviation Institute, S.P. Gudzik, was appointed the first director of KAI. The student body grew rapidly. If in March three groups of the aerodynamic department began classes in the first three courses, then by July 1932 there were already nine groups studying at the institute with a total of 202 students.

In August 1932, the first entrance exams to the institute were held, and by September 1, the number of students was about 600 people.

The teaching staff was replenished by invited experienced teachers in physics, mathematics and general engineering disciplines from Kazan State University, universities and enterprises of Kazan and other cities: N.

In the same year, along with the organization of the educational process at the institute, work began on the design and manufacture of aircraft.

In 1934, on the basis of the aircraft building and aerodynamic departments, the aircraft building faculty was opened, the first dean of which was K. A. Arkhipov.

Among the design developments one can note the single- and twin-engine aircraft created in the KAI Design Bureau in 1933-1939, on which several official records were set.

The development of aviation prompted the creation of new faculties: in 1951, the Faculty of Aviation Instrumentation, (the first dean - V.V. Maksimov), in 1952 - the Faculty of Aviation Radio Engineering, which soon became the largest in the institute (the first dean - V.I. Popovkin) .

In the mid-1950s, such scientific schools as motion stability, strength of aircraft structures, optimal processes, aircraft engine building, advanced technological processes, etc. received all-Union recognition. As a result of their work and recognition of achievements, it was that in 1956 KAI was The Council for awarding the degree of Doctor of Sciences was formed.

In 1991, a new faculty of management, economics, finance and entrepreneurship was founded at the institute (the first dean was T. K. Sirazetdinov).

The reorganization processes started in the 1980s continued into the 1990s. So in 1992, the Kazan Aviation Institute was transformed into Kazan State Technical University (KSTU). Having become a technical university, KAI began to expand the areas and specialties of higher education. In 1992, the Center for Continuing Education (CEC) was established - the first director was A. K. Vatolin. In 1995, the Faculty of Humanities was formed at the university (the first dean - D.K. Sabirova), in 2000 - the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (the first dean - K.G. Garaev), in 2003 - the Faculty of Economic Theory and Law ( Dean A. Sh. Khasanova) and the Faculty of Psychology and Business Administration (Dean R. V. Gabdreev).

In 1999, on the basis of the faculties of aircraft and aircraft engines, was formed. The first director is A.F. Dregalin. The use of a multi-level system for training specialists has begun: specialist-engineer, bachelor and master.

Further restructuring led to the fact that in 2003, on the basis of the Faculty of Radio Engineering, the director G. I. Shcherbakov was formed. Further, other institutions were formed: automation and electronic instrumentation, technical cybernetics and informatics, engineering and economics, social technologies, business and innovative technologies.

On September 2, 2014, on the basis of cooperation between KNRTU-KAI and two German universities - the Technical University of Ilmenau and the Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg - the German-Russian Institute of New Technologies (GRIAT) was opened (English - German-Russian Institute of Advanced Technologies (GRIAT ) .

On September 1, 2015, the Engineering Lyceum of KNRTU-KAI was opened on the basis of the university. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that children from the 7th to the 11th grade, in addition to studying classical school subjects, receive initial engineering, technical and physical and mathematical training. In January 2016, on the basis of MAOU "Lyceum No. 121" (Education Center No. 178) with the support of Kazan National Research Technical University. A.N. Tupolev (KNITU-KAI) "Lyceum - Engineering Center" was opened.
