In the south of Russia, turn your attention to DSTU, whose faculties annually graduate a large number of highly qualified specialists. In the 2015/2016 academic year, the university is preparing professionals in 88 specialties, most of which are purely technical.

History of the university

In 1930, at the peak of industrial development in the USSR, the authorities came up with a plan to industrialize the state in order to benefit more from agriculture. That is why then the predecessor of DSTU (Rostov-on-Don) was created - the North Caucasian Institute, designed to relieve the Don Polytechnic Institute, which could not cope with the tasks of training specialists.

For all the time of its existence, the university has repeatedly changed its name, and the current one was received quite recently - in the late 2000s. The peak of the institution's development was the mid-1980s: it was then that a number of agricultural machines for harvesting grain and tilling the soil were developed. Automation of agriculture, carried out with the help of equipment developed on the basis of the university, has significantly increased productivity. Despite the crisis of the 1990s, the institution continued to work and graduate highly qualified specialists in the field of agriculture, thanks to which in the future it was possible to avoid staff shortages.

DSTU (Rostov-on-Don) today

At the moment, the university occupies one of the leading places among all institutions specializing in the training of farmers. The largest university in the south of Russia allows you to get training in 200 areas, 70% of which are related to engineering and technical profiles. University graduates are in great demand in the labor market; they often get jobs in machine-building, metallurgical and military-industrial enterprises.

Don State Technical University is conducting a number of innovative projects aimed at improving educational activities. One of them is the formation of corporate departments, where large enterprises from the south of Russia took part. The university actively cooperates with foreign partners, in addition, it is here that the Bologna Club is opened, which is the only branch of this organization in the country.

Faculties

If you are planning to connect your life with agriculture, feel free to apply to DSTU, its faculties are powerful clusters of knowledge accumulated over decades of work. The university has more than 15 faculties, the most popular of which are: “Machinery and equipment of the agro-industrial complex” and “Oil and gas industry”.

In addition to the areas of the agricultural sector, other faculties can be considered, for example, "Innovative Business and Management", "Management and Entrepreneurship". Training in these specialties is carried out in such a way that the knowledge gained at the university can be applied both in the agro-industrial sphere and in any other.

Story

Creation and early years

The university was founded in 1930, when new factories for the production of agricultural machinery came into operation (the largest of them was Rostselmash). For new enterprises, technologists and engineers were required, and the personnel that was trained (DPI, Novocherkassk) were not enough. The government commission, which visited the Rostov region, headed by V. V. Schmidt, decided to reorganize the Don Polytechnic Institute (DPI), opening several independent universities on its basis.

Based on the decision of the government commission, an order of the People's Commissar of Education No. 295 of May 14, 1930 was issued on the creation North Caucasian Institute of Agricultural Engineering(SKISHM) on the basis of the mechanical faculty of the DPI. Opened on September 1, 1930, SKISHM became the only university in Russia that trains personnel for the agricultural engineering industry.

Initially, the institute had only two departments - "Agricultural Machines" (training personnel for agricultural engineering plants) and "Technology of Metals" (the first department in the country that trained specialists in the discipline "Metal Cutting Machines"). The first faculties of the university were: mechanical (dean - professor N. P. Krutikov), general technical (until 1936 it was concurrently headed by N. P. Krutikov, and since 1936 - associate professor, candidate of technical sciences Ya. G. Lifshits) and evening (dean - T. F. Yakovlev). The first university enrollment was 125 people.

In the first decade of its existence, the institute was repeatedly renamed. The names changed in connection with the territorial and administrative changes in the North Caucasus. Originally organized in 1930, SKISHM was under the jurisdiction of Glavselmash and the Main Directorate of Educational Institutions of the People's Commissariat for Heavy Industry.

In 1934, in connection with the formation of the Azov-Chernomorsky Territory, the university was for some time called Azovo-Chernomorsky Institute of Agricultural Engineering(ACHISHM), but in 1935 it became known as Rostov-on-Don Institute of Agricultural Engineering(RISHM). However, soon, in connection with the transfer of RISHM to the GUUZ People's Commissariat of Medium Machine Building, it was renamed into Rostov Machine-Building Institute(RMI) and worked under that name until 1947.

Passing under the jurisdiction of the People's Commissariat of Agricultural Engineering, and then the Ministry of Higher Education of the RSFSR, he again became known as Rostov Institute of Agricultural Engineering, and this name was retained until 1992.

Years of the Great Patriotic War

In November 1941, part of the institute's staff was seconded to the Rostselmash plant and evacuated with it to Tashkent. Many teachers of the university went to the front, including its director, I. I. Smirnov. During the evacuation, the remaining employees and students, in addition to studying and working, were engaged in cotton harvesting in the fields of the Mirzachul region, worked on the construction of the Salar hydroelectric power station, and grew vegetables on the lands of the Middle Chirchik. The institute returned to Rostov-on-Don after its liberation from occupation in 1943, in August of the same year the first wartime enrollment took place, 150 people were admitted to the institute, 13 departments were created.

Postwar years

After the war, only the skeletons of the DSTU buildings remained, and a small group of teachers from its staff. But by the 1945-1946 academic year, 4 university buildings were restored, training and production workshops with mechanical, locksmith, press-forge, foundry, welding and assembly shops were operating, the teaching staff was formed, and post-war recruitment of students was made. In December 1959, a branch of the technical college at the Rostselmash plant was created at the RISHME.

1960-1970s

Scientific schools were created, new departments were opened, the list of areas of training was expanded. At the full-time department, training was conducted in two forms: traditional full-time and allowing you to combine study with work in production (a week of study - a week of work). The volume of research work has increased, new scientific laboratories have appeared. New buildings were built, the infrastructure of the university was developed. In 1965, on the basis of NPI and RISHM, a joint Academic Council was organized for the defense of doctoral dissertations in the specialty "Agricultural Machines".

1980-1990

By order of the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Technical Policy of the Russian Federation dated December 24, 1992, the Rostov-on-Don Institute of Agricultural Engineering (RISHM) was renamed the Don State Technical University (DSTU).

At this time, the university begins to form a system of continuous education, the first step on this path was the opening of a specialized secondary school No. 108.

In 1991, the branch of the technical college at the Rostselmash plant, on the basis of an order of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, was transformed into the Rostov Institute of Automation and Engineering Technology, which 4 years later was renamed the Rostov-on-Don State Academy of Agricultural Engineering. In 2009, in connection with the reorganization of DSTU, it entered the structure of the university as the Institute of Energy and Mechanical Engineering of DSTU. The structure of the technical university was supplemented by 4 faculties: "Agroengineering", "Energy and Communication Systems", "Management and Entrepreneurship", "Oil and Gas Industrial".
