About the Institution
The University chronicle starts in 1932 with the foundation of Dirigible Engineering Educational Center attached to Civil Air Fleet (CAF) Ministry by joining Aircraft School of Leningrad Institute of CAF Engineers and Moscow Aviation Institute. In 1939 the Center was reorganized into Moscow Institute of CAF Engineers and named after K.E. Tsiolkovsky. Konstantin Eduardovitch Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935) is a great Russian scientist and inventor in the field of aerodynamics, aerospace engineering and the theory of aircraft, rockets and dirigible. He was a founder of contemporary astronautics. For the first time in the old-age Mankind's history K.Tsiolkovsky substantiated the possibility of applying rockets for interplanetary communications, showed the reasonable and rational ways of advancing astronautics and rocketry, made solutions of a number of important engineering problems in rocket designing and liquid fuel jet engines. So, Institute had honestly been credited to bear his name. On June 17, 1940 Moscow Institute of Aviation Technology (or shortly MATI) was established on the basis of the later. MATI attained the University status and name Moscow State Aviation Technology Institute - Russian State Technological University in 1992 - recognition of both the scale and quality of its courses. Today the University is one of the leading Russian technical universities where highly skilled experts in the field of advanced materials and high technologies are trained. Among the University teaching staff there are Academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russian Engineering Academy, Russian Academy of Technological Sciences and Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. About 260 Professors and Doctors of Sciences as well as more than 700 associate professors and Ph.D. scientists work at the University. University realizes the training according to the 24 specialties of higher professional education and trains researchers according to the 28 scientific specialties, carries out retraining of the specialists from industry and raising the level of their skill according to the various programs. Only in 1991 MATI was opened for the foreign students. Now more than 200 students from Great Britain, USA, Germany, South Korea, Turkey, ...
