Today, the Radio Engineering Taganrog University is one of the most prestigious universities not only in Russia and its south, but also in the world. But to call it a university is wrong, since the institution's correct name is the Engineering and Technology Academy of the Southern Federal University (abbreviated ITA SFU). Over the past decade, there have been several transformations, and today graduates receive prestigious SFU diplomas.
The history of the university in the twentieth century
The year of foundation is considered to be 1952. By the decree of I.V. Stalin of 1951, construction of the university in the south of the USSR began. Until 1974, it was called the Taganrog Radio Engineering Institute. In 1974, he was named after V. Kalmykov (USSR Minister of Radio Industry, a prominent political and scientific figure, a native of Rostov-on-Don). But already in the early 90s, with the change in the political system of the country and the education system, the institute ceased to exist.
Since 1993, this educational institution became known as the Taganrog State Radio Engineering University named after VD Kalmykov. And he wore this name until 2006. For all this time, many specialists from various fields have left the walls of the institute (and subsequently the university). These are electricians, robotics, acoustics, as well as psychologists, environmentalists, programmers and many others. A total of 8 faculties, including the Center for Pre-University Training, in which graduates of secondary schools are trained in special programs.
21st Century: Massive Change
If at the very beginning of the 2000s it was Taganrog State Radio Engineering University (feedback from graduates can be heard even on social networks), then in 2006 a full-scale reform began. Result - the educational institution is part of the Southern Federal University and is "reduced" to the rank of institute. In the period 2007-2012. It is called the Taganrog Institute of Technology of the Southern Federal University.
But this only helped to improve the situation - in post-perestroika times, financing was scarce, so new equipment was purchased in scanty amounts. But in the 21st century, the situation has changed dramatically: again, the country needs competent specialists, as a result, students learn their work on the latest equipment. The most modern measuring instruments, computers, in the entire educational institution, there is hardly an audience left without multimedia equipment.
Modernity
In the period 2012-2013. another transformation took place, the educational institution was called the Taganrog campus of SFedU. The name is very controversial, as many students and teachers associated the name "campus" with a network of dormitories. In fact, this is not entirely true, because the campus is libraries, research centers, and sports fields that are separate from the city and are located on the same territory. But the radio engineering Taganrog University has a slightly different structure.
It is impossible to call it a campus, since it is not isolated from the city - it is located in its line, residential buildings of ordinary residents are located next to the buildings. Probably, for this reason the name didn’t take root: from 2013 to this day, the university is called the Engineering and Technology Academy of the Southern Federal University. Each academic building has one or two institutes. In fact, what used to be a faculty is today an institute, a division of the academy.
Admissions and training
Here is a brief summary of what the Taganrog Radio Engineering University survived. The selection committee of this university is located at: Taganrog, st. Chekhov, 22 (building "A"). Throughout the school year, the institution hosts open door days. Future applicants can come and see with their own eyes what this or that institute offers them. Typically, open door days are held in the lobby of the building "D", located on the lane. Nekrasovsky.
But after passing the exam, a high school graduate can apply to the selection committee. Providing a copy (or original) of the certificate of exams, as well as writing a statement, we can expect the results to be announced. If you have a high enough score, then there is nothing to be afraid of: you will definitely enter the Radio Engineering Taganrog University, and you will study absolutely free of charge. There is also a contract form (you pay each semester in the learning process) and target (for you, the enterprise pays for it, after which you must work for some time after graduation).
What specialties are popular?
But I also want to know what the Taganrog Radio Engineering University has to offer. What specialties will be relevant in the near future and in demand in the future? Trite, but nanotechnology is, perhaps, one of the most modern areas. You can find several specialties in this area at the Institute of Nanotechnology, Electronics and Instrument Engineering, which is part of the ITA SFU.
Another trendy area is robotics. Of course, this area is still in its infancy, but it is quite possible that modern students in a few years will make a significant breakthrough in the creation of robots. And how can there be a Radio Engineering Taganrog University without specialties in the following areas:
- electrical engineering;
- radio and transmitting devices;
- electrical equipment of cars;
- electrical equipment of enterprises.
And this is not all specialties, more detailed information can be found directly at the academy.
