When the school graduation begins to loom closer and closer, each eleventh grader faces a serious task: to decide who he wants to be and choose a university for admission. Krasnoyarsk applicants have a wide choice - there are a lot of good universities in the city. And one of them is SibSAU named after Reshetnev.
Excursion into the past
Before talking about what kind of university is SibSAU them. Reshetnev at the present time, we need to remember how it all began, and thanks to which Krasnoyarsk acquired a similar institution.
The history of "Aerocos", as this educational institution is called by the people, has its roots far back in the last century, in its very middle. And to be more precise - in 1959. It was then that the need for the appearance of professionals in the field of rocket science and astronautics became obvious, since the Soviet Union at that time showed high achievements in this field. For these purposes, it was decided to create the so-called technical colleges, in other words, higher technical educational institutions.
In a distant city on the Yenisei, something similar was first organized in the same fifty-ninth year of the last century on the basis of an engineering plant. However, literally immediately, the resulting production was transferred to the closed city of Zheleznogorsk located not far from Krasnoyarsk, otherwise called Krasnoyarsk-26. In the same city on the Yenisei only a year later a branch of the Krasnoyarsk Polytechnic Institute, a technical college, appeared, functioning on the basis of the same machine-building - Krasmash, one of the main enterprises of Krasnoyarsk in those years.
The main responsibility of this educational institution was to train the staff in engineering without distracting from the work process, and, I must say, the technical college successfully coped with its task. In the sixtieth year, the future SibSAU them. Reshetneva first opened its doors to students. And both professionals and ordinary factory workers taught there. More than half of the students were immediately sent to industrial practice in the first months of their studies - so to speak, to join the profession from the inside.
Then it was decided that the Krasnoyarsk technical college should play a decisive role in the formation of education in the region, become a prominent educational institution, prestigious. And for this they spared no resources - neither effort, nor time, nor money. The best teachers were involved, new departments were opened. All this taken together has made it possible to interest not only Krasnoyarsk school graduates, but also nonresident applicants in the educational prospects of this institution.
In the seventies and eighties
In 1966, the first graduates of technical college, the future SibSAU them. Academician M.F. Reshetnev, went into independent life. Since, as mentioned above, the technical college was at Krasmash, many remained there to work. Meanwhile, the plant launched the production of new sea-based missiles, which could not but attract a new wave of interest in the Krasnoyarsk technical college.
In the mid-seventies, the technical college began to work closely with the Design Bureau of Applied Mechanics; it was headed by Mikhail Reshetnev, whose name subsequently received "Aerocos" (we will say a few words about the scientist later). In those same years, the technical college began to conduct active scientific activity. The purpose of such a stir was the separation of the aforementioned institution into an independent educational institution (recall, all these years the technical college has been a branch of the Polytechnic Institute). To obtain an independent institute degree, it was necessary to have almost half of the teaching staff with scientific regalia - candidate or doctoral, it does not matter.
It was possible to achieve the desired only by the beginning of the nineties - in 1989 the corresponding paper was signed, and the technical college became an independent educational institution - not yet SibSAU them. Reshetneva, but the Institute of Space Technology.
Up the thumb
So, the nineties were marked for Krasnoyarsk with the advent of a new separate university. Although it is from old memory for many years (and some - and still) continued to be called technical college. At the same time, cosmonautics schools were opened in the human "anthills" - adjacent to the city on the Yenisei - Zheleznogorsk (Krasnoyarsk-26) and Zelenogorsk (Krasnoyarsk-45).
Long Institute of Space Technology future SibSAU them. Reshetneva did not stay in Krasnoyarsk: already in the ninety-second, only three years later, the university was renamed the Siberian Aerospace Academy (hence the name “Aerocos”). Then the institute already had six faculties, more than two dozen departments, as well as several training centers - computer science, computer technology, scientific and engineering, and so on.
In the mid-nineties, the institution was reoriented a bit: equality for the conquest of the Universe went by the wayside, civil aviation advanced. And in the ninety-sixth, the Academy received the name of Mikhail Fedorovich Reshetnev, who died at the beginning of that year.
Aerospace university
At the very beginning of the new century, after only two years, the Siberian Academy acquired the status of a university. Since that time, the university began to be called SibGAU them. Reshetneva. SibSAU could be deciphered as "Siberian State Aerospace University".
This status made the university more prestigious, opened up new opportunities and horizons for it. The university became one of the leaders among universities in the Siberian region, and in the Krasnoyarsk Territory for a long time it was generally considered the best. Perhaps only the Siberian Federal University, which appeared not so long ago, can compete with him on prestige now. And twelve years ago - by the way, it was then that the Siberian Federal was formed - Siberian State Agrarian University named after Reshetneva even received a license from the Federal Space Agency.
Our days
Exactly two years ago, the next decision was made, which became crucial for the Reshetnev SibSAU in Krasnoyarsk: the decision to reorganize the university. There was a need to organize a supporting university in the city on the Yenisei.
To this end, the Siberian State Technological University decided to join the Aerocos. Last spring, the former SibGTU and SibSAU M.F. Reshetnev became a single university, which got the toponym Siberian State University of Science and Technology. The name of Professor Reshetnev is still assigned to the university.
Briefly about the university
The main focus, or, as they say, the main bias of the former "Aerocos" - physical, mathematical and engineering disciplines, which are somehow connected with aviation or aerospace movement. In total, the university has five institutes and six faculties, among which there is one humanitarian.
In order for possible applicants to have at least a slight idea of where to enter Aerocos, we’ll name several departments. This, for example, the faculty of mechanical engineering and mechatronics, the Institute of space technology, the faculty of finance and economics, the Military Institute at SibSAU them. Reshetneva and so on. Unfortunately, there are not so many budget places at the institute, and paid tuition, since the university is considered prestigious, is quite expensive. But judging by the quality of training and the feedback of former students, it is worth it.
Professor Reshetnev
One of the founders of our cosmonautics, an outstanding scientist was born in the twenty-fourth year of the last century far from Krasnoyarsk - in the village of Nikolaev region. He graduated from school in Dnepropetrovsk, where he moved as a five-year-old child with his parents. He entered the Moscow Aviation at the age of sixteen, but the war prevented training - Mikhail went to the front, was an aviation mechanic.
After the war, he completed his studies at the Moscow Aviation Institute and went up the career ladder: he worked as an engineer, lead designer, deputy chief designer ... In the fifty-ninth year, Mikhail Reshetnev, thirty-five, went to the small gated town of Zheleznogorsk near Krasnoyarsk, becoming the head of the eastern branch of the Design Bureau. In Zheleznogorsk, the scientist lived until the end of his life, until the last days being the general designer and director general of the NPO of applied mechanics. He died in January of the ninety-sixth year, is buried in Zheleznogorsk.
School Reviews
Students and graduates of Aerocos note that education at the university is really “on the level”. As positive aspects, they highlight the development of sports (there is not only ordinary physical education, but also yoga, Pilates, fitness, fencing and so on - for every taste) and creativity (dance, vocal groups, KVN teams), also note the absence of a "freebie" and the availability of sensible teachers.
In addition, students like the equipment of classrooms, new modern buildings. However, there are also claims to the latter - not to the new, but to the old: there are such ones at the university. In winter, as students write, it is cold there, and hot in summer; school desks are old and creaking. In general, everyone notes that studying at this university is both fun and interesting.
