MSTU named after Bauman became an independent educational institution long before the people began to lovingly call this university “Baumanka”. Reviews were first recorded in 1826, when workshops were opened with teaching children from the "educational home" a variety of crafts - this was already a kind of craft school. And in 1830, Nicholas I approved it by special decree.
Before the revolution
Pupils studied and lived on the territory of the school at state expense. In 1868, this educational institution became the highest - the Imperial Moscow Technical School. The quality of education was extremely high even then, and now it is training the most highly qualified specialists of almost two hundred years old, Baumanka.
The reviews in the documents of the century before last indicate that the process engineers, mechanical engineers and structural engineers who left the walls of the school actively promoted technological progress in Russia and achieved outstanding success in the chemical, textile, food industries, in new technologies, in mechanics and woodworking.
Soviet time
By Soviet times, IMTU had already become widely known not only in Russia but also abroad. The Russian method of teaching was literally extolled after demonstration exhibitions (the first was in Vienna in 1873, from where the Great Gold Medal was immediately brought). Even then, the future "Baumanka" became the best polytechnic school of the country and the world. Reviews were in the press of almost all major newspapers in Europe. It is strange if this educational institution did not have success with such teachers. At IMTU, students were taught by such authorities as Mendeleev, Chebyshev, Zhukovsky, Ershov, Chaplygin, Dmitriev, Sovetkin, Gavrilenko, Letnikov. People are not just authoritative - brilliant. Under the Soviet regime, little has changed here. Only the name was changed to MVTU (not the word "university" means the last letter, but for now - until 1989 - the school, but the Higher).
Even now, this fact is played up with humor by teachers of other universities: "This is for you, my friend, MEPhI, and not the Bauman State Technical University!" However, this was previously nothing more than a joke, and there was no man left in the country who could not imagine the enormous authority that always carried the name "Bauman" in itself. Reviews about this university today are written either with enthusiasm or with envy.
But back to the distant 1938. It was a turning year, and not about repressions. MVTU opens new faculties related to the country's defense: artillery, tank and ammunition. Ten years later, the Moscow Higher Technical School grew by another faculty, which confirmed the glory of the leading national educational institution - the faculty of rocketry. It is not for nothing that a real rocket stands at the entrance, and today it is from this place that the real Baumanka begins.
Alumni reviews
It is unlikely that there is such an educational institution in the country about which the best memories were written by such famous scientists and experts of such rank as S.P. Korolev and A.N. Tupolev. And so many famous designers that such a long list of names does not fit in a small article. The "father" of the first nuclear reactor studied here, the author of the project was N. A. Dollezhal, the "father" of the first domestic computer, the author of the project was S. A. Lebedev, the famous metallurgist A. I. Tselikov. It is simply impossible to list everyone. Therefore, it was not surprising that the first technical university was precisely the higher technical school - Baumanka. Feedback from graduates today suggests that there is no equal to this educational institution for the training of specialized specialists in the country.
In total, more than two hundred thousand high-class engineers came out of the university’s walls, these are well-known civil servants of the highest rank, these are outstanding chief and general designers, these are the most famous scientists, leaders. Among our astronauts there are also many those for whom “Baumanka” has become one of the warmest memories of youth. Almost everyone wrote reviews about the faculty, which helped to fulfill the most pipe dreams.
And today, nineteen thousand students study at the nineteen faculties of Bauman Moscow State Technical University. There are doctoral and postgraduate studies, there are two lyceums, both specialized, it is from them that most of the admission to Baumanka takes place. The reviews say that the same professors teach at the lyceums, and the training takes place on a university schedule. And therefore freshmen do not have to readjust and get used to a new lifestyle.
Structural features
The university trains specialists across the entire spectrum of the most advanced instrument-making and mechanical engineering. Academic and scientific work here is carried out by world-famous scientists, among the teachers there are two thousand candidates of sciences and much more than three hundred doctors. The university is structurally divided into eight scientific and educational complexes, each of which has a faculty and research institute.
Students are trained professionally at specially created branch faculties, the basis for which are the largest enterprises, institutions and organizations (mainly the military-industrial complex), they are located in the capital itself and in the nearest cities - Korolev, Krasnogorsk, Reutov. In addition, there is a branch in Kaluga. That is why employment after Baumanka is not difficult. Reviews exist for the most diverse location of graduates, but almost do not differ in information - everything and everyone did great.
Details
And more interesting information: since 1934, specialists of the highest class have been trained here from students who are hearing impaired, and the most unique teaching experience has been accumulated. Among the three universities of the country - even Moscow State University and the St. Petersburg Polytechnic - in 1926 began military training of its students and Bauman. Feedback from applicants suggests that getting into the number of students is difficult, studying is even more difficult, but no one will ever change this university for any other.
All the preparation efforts, the diligence in learning, are like building blocks in the steps of a future career. Under the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, a Military Institute operates in which reserve officers and personnel are trained (twenty-one military specialties!) For the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. There are five military departments (one of them is in Kaluga), there is also a civil defense department and a military training center. Students undergo practical training at the Dmitrov branch, there is a training ground with military equipment.
"Step into the Future"
This is one of the most famous olympiads that determine the future composition of freshmen at the university. It was founded in 1991 as part of the implementation of the youth program by order of the government of the Russian Federation, and therefore is one of the components of the policy pursued by the state to provide scientific personnel to the country's leading enterprises. The Olympics was named for the entire program - "Step into the Future."
The organizing committee is dominated by the rector of MSTU, doctors of technical sciences, academicians. This program is the best way to ensure the continuity of professional and scientific personnel in literally all sectors of the country's economy, since its basic requirements are fully consistent with the development programs of all national universities, among which the leader in engineering and technology is Baumanka. The most innovative reviews are received by scientists in the scientific community, and the team of creators of the program, in which the MSTU Olympiad is the most important link, was awarded the Prize of the President of the Russian Federation for outstanding achievements in the field of education.
Holding system
Thanks to the "Step into the Future" program, students with disabilities for whom appropriate conditions are created can be among the students of Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Winners and prize-winners will be available to study at “Baumanka”. Student reviews say that many people came here only because of participation and victories in this Olympiad, where some participants even received an award on the recommendation of the Ministry of Science and Education of the Russian Federation - "Talent of overcoming". The Olympiad pursues the most good goals: it identifies and develops profiled creative abilities, interest in scientific and research activities, forms key competencies, the most significant professional qualities, motivates the use of acquired subject knowledge.
Student reviews of Baumanka note that it is thanks to the olympiads that the composition of the highly gifted contingent is formed, which is most capable of overcoming difficulties and mastering programs of the highest complexity. "Step into the future" - these are two competitive tests: academic competition and scientific and educational. Each of them has two stages. The first is full-time or part-time (with information technology and remote access), and the second is only full-time. The network is very ramified - more than three hundred organizations and one hundred and two coordination centers participate in the Olympiad. These are schools and universities, CNT, research institutes, various enterprises.
Open door days
In 2017, Open Doors Days were held on Cosmonautics Day on April 12 and the subsequent April 13th. Consulting points worked, where everyone could get answers to the most burning questions regarding the rules for entering the first year or to graduate school. Future applicants were helped to choose the right faculty, specialty, and field of study. Many were interested in learning more about the competition upon admission, about the targeted admission. Someone was interested in innovation, someone in linguistics at Baumanka. Reviews about the military training center are especially numerous, because many school graduates dream of becoming an officer of the RF Armed Forces after training at Bauman Moscow State Technical University. Of course, almost everyone was interested in learning on a contractual, that is, paid basis.
For applicants, much of what was not learned even on the Internet was revealed. Everyone knows that at Bauman Moscow State Technical University there is a technical school where they study space instrumentation, but Open Doors Days provide significant details regarding admission and training there. It also became known about many other forms of preparation for admission directly to the MSTU. Everything is truly impossible to enumerate, such a wide flow of information has been revealed to visitors. We went on excursions to laboratories and scientific educational centers, where one could see firsthand the quality of higher education provided by the university. Parents attended meetings with deans of faculties, with honored education workers, where they received answers to all questions regarding admission, training, accommodation and many other topics.
Dormitories
Competitions in the areas of training on the number of people in need or not needing subsequent accommodation in a hostel do not depend in any way. It has always been and will be held as one. Then, when the number of freshmen is determined, a second competition is held - for the provision of university housing. Usually this is done by faculty: a point is set that is sufficient to get a place in the hostel. And not everyone gets it.
Has a "Bauman" hostel, reviews indicate very good, but they are not enough at all. It will be necessary for those who did not score a high enough score to live in the capital for a fee. A number of faculties have their own buildings for students - BMT, RL, IU, E, RK, SM, MT, Mytishchi and Kaluga branches. But the faculties of OEM, RT, RCT, PS, AK, SGB, L, FN, IBM and the Department of Law do not have dormitories at all. Closely in the capital.
The hostels are located in different areas of Moscow and the region. Few will live very close to the place of study - in the Izmailovsky campus, but even those who live in the farthest place - in Ilyinka will be lucky. And those who managed to enter the Bauman MSTU without the right to settle in a dormitory are surely happy anyway. Such is this legendary university - Baumanka. Hostel reviews are mentioned often. Many have to deal with metropolitan bustle in the metro and other vehicles, since the path from the hostel to the university can take even more than an hour. Studying fills almost all student time, but few leisure time in the hostel can be spent with benefit and for pleasure. Events, sports, including football are held.
Life is quite well established: good kitchens, there are laundries, gyms. Not everyone uses the dining room, which is located on the territory of each campus, they love cooking here, even periodically hold relevant competitions.
Communications
The international activity of Bauman Moscow State Technical University is very extensive. Cooperation is carried out in a multilateral exchange of students, doctoral students, graduate students, scientific and pedagogical staff with leading universities of different countries, foreign students are accepted for training under the contract. Various and numerous joint studies are carried out, educational and methodological developments are being created, students and teachers participate in international congresses, seminars, and conferences. More than seventy universities in Asia, America and Europe collaborate with Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
Both the scientific and pedagogical activities of the university are always aimed at the future. This is participation in many conversion programs, research on the latest trends in technology and a reassessment of priorities in the development of science. It is here that the conceptual basis of the state personnel system has been developed, specialists have been trained for the technological base of the whole country, and graduates of Bauman Moscow State Technical University are able to realize the replenishment of intellectual potential in all the most high-tech sectors of Russian industry. The stabilization of the domestic economy, national security and sustainable development of the country depend on them.
