In the Central Black Earth region, one of the most important higher educational institutions is the Lipetsk State Technical University. For more than 60 years, this university has provided qualified personnel to industry, business companies, municipal and state administration bodies. At the moment, the university is developing. He improves his scientific activities, introduces innovative educational technologies in the educational process, strengthens international relations.
The beginning of the way
The technical university that exists today in Lipetsk was opened in 1956 in the form of the evening faculty of the Tula Mechanical Institute. There were only 2 specialties in the educational institution , which were considered the most important at that time. One of them was associated with the technology of mechanical engineering, metal-cutting machines and tools, and the second - with technologies and foundry machines.
The opening of a technical university with such specialties was an important event for young people, because the city just needed engineering personnel. Lipetsk developed rapidly. In those years, it was considered an industrial center, a city rapidly building up its industrial potential.
School Transformations
From the history of modern Lipetsk State Technical University (LSTU) it is known that the educational institution has repeatedly changed its status and name. In 1959, the university was called the evening faculty of the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys, and in 1966 - a branch of the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys. In 1973, the university gained independence. It received the name of the Lipetsk Polytechnic Institute.
When an independent university began its activity, there were only 4 faculties in its organizational structure. Every year the institute developed. This was reflected in its structure. It expanded due to the formation of new units. With an increase in their number, the number of applicants choosing a polytechnic institute also increased. In the 90s, there were already 8 faculties in the structure of the university.
University status
Lipetsk Polytechnic Institute functioned from 1973 to 1994. In 1994, the university was given a new status. He became a State Technical University. The new status confirmed high-quality educational activities, indicated that the university made a significant contribution to the science and industry of the Central Black Earth Region and Russia over the years of its existence.
Today Lipetsk State Technical University, located on Moskovskaya Street 30, continues to move forward. He actively attracts external partners for cooperation - engineering, construction, transport, metallurgical enterprises. Establishing contacts allows the university to direct students to practice. Students at the enterprises get acquainted with advanced scientific and practical achievements and technologies.
University strategic goals
Technical University in Lipetsk is one of the leaders in higher education in the region. In subsequent years, the university plans to gain a foothold in the list of the best educational institutions in our country. To achieve this, LSTU intends to continue to conduct effective activities and develop steadily.
To achieve this goal, the university has set itself the task. Here are some examples of them:
- Strengthen relations with internal and external consumers and partners, establish new contacts. Due to this, the Lipetsk State Technical University will expand the base of practices and create conditions for the implementation of international educational programs and projects.
- Improve educational and research activities. To accomplish this task, the university will introduce more and more modern information technologies into its work, innovative methods of distance learning.
Technical education at LSTU
People who want to receive a higher technical education in full-time education at the university can choose the most interesting and suitable faculty or institute for them. The university offers 6 units. For ease of perception, we will present information about them in the form of a table.
Institutes and faculties of Lipetsk State Technical University| Unit Name | Description |
| Institute of Mechanical Engineering | Here, engineers are trained for the field of mechanical engineering, equipment and technologies for foundry and welding production, metal processing under pressure. |
| Metallurgical Institute | In this structural unit, students gain knowledge related to metallurgical production. Graduates of the institute do not face employment problems, because the city has an employer for them - Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant. |
| Faculty of Civil Engineering | In this structural unit, you can become a bachelor in 1 of 7 offered profiles, from “Designing buildings and structures” to “Expertise and real estate management”, or a civil engineer specializing in “Construction of unique structures and buildings”. |
| Faculty of Physics and Technology | This structural unit is considered modern at the university. It offers current trends relevant to the field of physical technology, has a computer lab with computers, projection equipment. |
| Faculty of Transport Engineers | This faculty prepares students for work in the field of the transport complex. After graduation, graduates can develop cars, organize traffic and ensure its safety, engage in management activities in the field of land transport. |
| Faculty of Informatics and Automation | The directions offered here are related to computer science, robotics, electric power and electrical engineering. For high-quality student education, 2 laboratories are equipped - computer science and computer science, computer networks. |
Humanitarian and Economic Education
Lipetsk State Technical University is considered a multidisciplinary university, which means that it also has departments that are not related to the provision of engineering education. These structural units include 2 faculties - economics, humanities and social sciences and law.
Both structural divisions are very popular among applicants. The Faculty of Economics is attractive because it is in the Lipetsk Region a leading center for the training of highly qualified economists, managers, and civil servants. Classes are taught by experienced teachers, and the practice is organized at large and well-known enterprises of the city. The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Law is interested in prestigious and sought-after areas of law, advertising, psychology, and tourism.
Distance learning at university
For working people at the Lipetsk State Technical University, they recently created a specialized structural unit - the correspondence faculty. He united all students studying in correspondence. Its structure also includes a center for innovative educational technologies, which is involved in introducing modern and effective methods and specialized software into the educational process.
Correspondence students periodically visit the university. But the bulk of the training is focused on independent work. In order for students to be interesting and easy to perceive educational material, the university provides all students with multimedia content, access to remote work with teachers.
More about specialties and directions
Lipetsk State Technical University offers a lot of specialties and directions. They are calculated in several tens. All of them can be combined into 5 groups. The directions and specialties available at LSTU are related:
- with engineering, technology, technical sciences;
- mathematical and natural sciences;
- social sciences;
- humanities;
- art and culture.
Art and culture attract attention from the listed list, because in the representation of applicants, they somehow do not fit with the technical university. In LSTU, this group consists of one direction of undergraduate studies - “Design” (profile - “Industrial Design”). It is proposed by the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. This direction was discovered for the reason that the competitiveness of products manufactured by enterprises is determined by the combination of labor of designers and designers.
Exams required for admission to a technical university
In order to enter the LSTU, it is required to successfully pass the entrance tests. For each direction of preparation, a list of subjects for passing in the form of the exam or in the form prescribed by the university is determined.
