Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics (MTUCI) (Russian: Московский технический университет связи и информатики; acronym: МТУСИ) is a Russian industry university in the field of information technology, telecommunications, and information security.
History
[edit]In February 1919, in addition to the existing telegraph school, a radio school was created in Moscow; in the same year, both schools were united into one educational institution.
In 1920, on the basis of these educational institutions, the Podbelsky Electrical Technical School of People's Communications was created, within the walls of which radio engineers and telegraph and telephone engineers were trained for the first time.
On February 9, 1921, in accordance with the Resolution of the Main Directorate of Professional Education and the Board of the People's Commissariat of Posts and Telegraphs of January 31, 1921, the Moscow Electrotechnical Institute of People's Communications (MEINS) named after V. N. Podbelsky was established.[2]
On August 8, 1924, in accordance with the decree of the Council of People's Commissars "On changing the network of higher educational institutions", MEINS was merged with the Bauman Moscow Higher Technical School (MVTU), where MEINS became part of the electrical engineering faculty, forming a weak current department.[3]
By November 1930 it became clear that in the absence of a specialized university in the [[Telecommucommunications system, training personnel is associated with serious difficulties and shortcomings, and, by decision of the November plenum of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party, MEINS was restored as an independent higher educational institution.
In the spring of 1931 in accordance with a decision of the People's Commissariat of Posts and Telegraphs, a site was allocated in Lefortovo District and an architectural project was developed. Construction of new buildings for MEINS, a student dormitory and an academic building, followed by small physics and machine buildings, begins.[3]
1933 saw the merger with the State Electric Machine-Building Institute named after Kagan-Shabshai (GEMIKSH).
In 1936 Construction of the academic building was completed, the central part was put into operation. A postgraduate program was opened at the institute, which accepted 11 graduates from the day and evening departments during the first intake.
On July 19, 1938, saw the merger of MEINS and the Engineering and Technical Academy of Communications (ITAS) named after V.N. Podbelsky and the creation of the Moscow Institute of Communications Engineers (MIIS) on their basis.[3]
On June 22, 1941, 300 students were studying at the military faculty of the university. With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, senior students and teachers left for the front, from them detachments were formed that were engaged in the restoration of destroyed communication lines and the construction of new lines.[3]
In October 1941 MIIS was evacuated to the city of Tashkent, the Odessa Institute of Communications was also transferred there — both these institutes were merged.
In October 1943 the Institute returned to Moscow and the staff restored the laboratories, equipped offices and classrooms. From this time on, it continued to grow and improve its teaching methods. The Institute became a large higher education institution, occupying a leading place among higher education institutions of communications in the country.
In 1945 the department of the correspondence faculty was transformed into the All-Union Correspondence Institute of Communication Engineers (VZIIS), and later — into the All-Union Correspondence Electrotechnical Institute of Communications (VZEIS).
In 1946 MIIS was renamed the Moscow Electrotechnical Institute of Communications (MEIS).
In September 1967 the VZEIS Educational and Consulting Center was founded, which in 1974 was transformed into the North Caucasus Branch of MTUCI (SKF MTUCI), and in 1993 a daytime department was opened there.
In 1971 the institute was awarded the first (of two) Order of the Red Banner of Labor for great merits in training communications specialists and success in research work.
On December 3, 1988, The Moscow Institute of Communications (MIS) was formed on the basis of three institutes: MEIS, the All-Union Correspondence Electrotechnical Institute of Communications (VZEIS) and the Institute for Advanced Training of Managers and Specialists (IPK, founded in 1979).[4]
August 20, 1991 — MIS was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation.
On January 18, 1992, in accordance with Order of the Government of Russia, MIS received the status of a technical university and was transformed into the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics (MTUCI).[2]
