History

Later this institution became the Imperial Technical School - one of the main engineering Universities in Russia. After the revolution, the University was named after Nikolai Ernestovich Bauman a veterinarian. He was a revolutionary who was killed not far from the main buildings. His body was on view for some time in one of the University rooms so other revolutionaries and students in Moscow could say farewell.

The funeral ceremony started from the University, and for this reason, after the Great October Socialist Revolution in November 1917, the Imperial Technical School received the name "Moscow Higher Technical School Named After Bauman".

"The major transformation of the institution took place in 1929. The Moscow High Technical School with its five departments, was split five ways:

1. The department of mechanical engineering was left to carry on as the parent organization but under a new name, Higher Mechanical Machine Construction School (VMMU). In 1932-1933 it was renamed Moscow Mechanical machine Construction School (MMMU), and finally, in 1937 , it reverted to the original status of a department within the partly reconstituted parent organization which at the same time had regained its original name, Moscow Higher Technical School.
2. The original department of chemical engineering was first reorganized under the name of Higher School of Chemical Technology (VKhTU). Later it became the major part of the Voroshilov Military Academy of Chemistry (VKhA), which, in turn, was renamed and is now known as VAKhZ , Military Academy of Chemical Defense.
3. The department of aeronautical engineering became the nucleus of the present Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI).
4. The department of power engineering became a separate school under the name of Power Engineering Institute (MEI).
5. The civil engineering department became first the Higher School of Construction Engineering (VISU) and later (reinforced by the transfer of teaching personal and facilities from other schools) the present Military Engineering Academy (VIA) Named after V.V. Kuibyshev.

During its existence University has always dealt with advanced technology and a major part of it's departments are related to the aerospace and defense industry, though these were never the only fields of study offered. Nowadays, after the great changes of relationships between former Cold War enemies and during a time of new trends in the public attitudes toward the exploration of space, as well as the economic instability in Russia, "Moscow Bauman" is trying to provide it's graduates with a knowledge that can easily be adapted for whatever engineering job presents itself.

Academic Curriculum and Departments

The subjects during years 2, 3 and 4 are more specialized and depend upon the department and major within the department. For example, in the Special Mechanical Engineering Department these are:

• Stress and Strength of Materials
• Theory of Mechanisms and Machines
• Machine Details
• Interchangeability and Technical Measurements
• Electrical Engineering, Economics
• Production Technology
• Design
• Computer Aided Design
• Vibrations
• Electronics
• Technical Systems Control
• etc.

According the 1988 Academic Curriculum of one of the majors at Special Mechanical Engineering Department, during the 6 years of education student goes through 3046 hours of lectures, 1124 hours of practical work, 410 hours of labs, 2064 of classes, 4 term papers, 7 term projects, 32 exams, 68 tests, 4 industrial practices and, finally, the diploma project.

After one more year of education, a further degree may be received - Engineer Degree.

There is also a three-year-long Ph.D. program.

• Dynamic Processes Control Systems
• Attitude Control and Spacecraft Navigation Systems
• Information Processing
• Design and Production of Electronic Devices
• Automated Systems of Control and Information Processing
• Computers, Systems, Networks
• Software Development

(Youth Space Center of the Moscow Bauman State Technical University is located in this department.
