Kazan National Research Technical University named after A. N. Tupolev(Tat. A. N. Tupolev isemendәge Kazan milli tiksherenү technician universities), former Kazan Aviation Institute (KAI) - founded in 1932, received university status in 1992. On October 7, 2009, the university received a new official status as a national research university.

Story

At first, the institute had two departments: aircraft engineering and aerodynamics, and the first was created by transferring to the institute the entire contingent of students, graduate students and teachers of the aerodynamic department of KSU, and the second was to be formed by transferring students from other universities in Kazan.

The temporary fulfillment of the duties of the director of KAI, concurrently, was assigned to the director of KSU N-B. Z. Vekslina (part-time). N. G. Chetaev, administrative and economic assistant M. N. Popov became the deputy director for educational and scientific work.

The very next day after the decision was made to organize the institute, that is, on March 6, a meeting of the KAI leadership was held, at which priority activities were outlined: the premises of the university were identified in which the institute would begin its work; a selection committee has been created to select candidates for the aircraft manufacturing department from among students of Kazan universities; the issue of the possibility of attracting teachers and engineering and technical workers from other universities in Kazan to work at the institute was considered; It was decided to immediately send N. G. Chetaev to Moscow to develop, together with Glavaviaprom, a curriculum and programs, as well as to select teachers for special disciplines in the aircraft building department.

The premises for the new institute were allocated on the corner of Chernyshevsky and Gostinodvorskaya (now Kremlevskaya and Chernyshevsky) streets.

1. In accordance with the publication in the “Red Tataria” of March 6, 1932 of the resolution of the OK VKP(b), to separate the aerodynamic department from the KSU, transferring it completely to the disposal of the Director of the Aviation Institute of Glavaviaprom after the order of the People's Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR.(...) 4 To ensure uninterrupted educational work at the aerodynamic department (JSC) of the Aviation Institute, transfer to its use the premises occupied by the KSU JSC in the former mechanical office (1st floor of the building of the former Rector's apartment), until the institute is completely located in a specially designated building.

Due to lack of space, a memo was sent from KAI to the head of the Main Directorate of Aviation Industry Baranov P.I. from KAI demanding assistance in moving no later than May 15 to the building of the former Forestry Institute on Karl Marx Street (now the 1st building of KNRTU-KAI). On April 8, it was ordered to transfer the first stream of JSC Physics and Mathematics to KAI, as stated in the minutes of the meeting under the first director of KAI, Vekslin Nanson-Ber Zalmanovich (part-time director of KSU).

The first teachers of KAI in April 1932 were N. G. Chetaev, P. A. Shirokov, E. I. Grigoriev, Yu. A. Radtsig, B. M. Stolbov, N. I. Dvinyaninov, V. G. Voydinov .

In May 1932, an order was issued to organize the first departments of the institute: aerodynamics, structural mechanics, mathematics, theoretical mechanics, a joint department of social disciplines and the department of languages.

In June 1932, by order of Glavaviaprom, a graduate of the Novocherkassk Aviation Institute, S.P. Gudzik, was appointed the first director of KAI. The student population grew rapidly. If in March three groups of the aerodynamic department began classes in the first three courses, then by July 1932 there were already nine groups studying at the institute with a total number of students of 202 people.

In August 1932, the first entrance exams to the institute were held and by September 1, the number of students was about 600 people.

The teaching staff was replenished by invited experienced teachers in physics, mathematics and general engineering disciplines from KSU, universities and enterprises of Kazan and other cities: N. G. Chebotarev, N. N. Parfentyev, V. A. Yablokov, K. A. Arkhipov, Kh. M. Mushtari, I. G. Malkin, K. P. Persidsky, B. M. Gagaev, A. V. Bolgarsky, S. F. Lebedev, I. D. Ado, B. L. Laptev, L.I. Stolov and others.

In 1933, the institute began publishing “Proceedings of KAI” - collections of scientific articles. The first defenses of candidate dissertations also began in 1933. In the period until 1941, candidate and doctoral dissertations were defended by G. V. Kamenkov (future rector), Kh. M. Mushtari, I. G. Malkin and others.

In the same year, along with the organization of the educational process at the institute, work began on the design and manufacture of aircraft.

In 1934, on the basis of the aircraft engineering and aerodynamic departments, the aircraft engineering faculty was opened, the first dean of which was K. A. Arkhipov.

Since the beginning of the institute's existence, research work has been carried out there. In particular, N. G. Chetaev created a scientific school of general mechanics. The development of this direction did not go unnoticed and in 1940 Chetaev was transferred to work in Moscow, where in 1944 he became director of the Institute of Mechanics of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

Among the design developments, one can note the single- and twin-engine aircraft created in 1933-1939 at the KAI Design Bureau, on which several official records were set.

Since 1939, the Faculty of Engine Engineering has been functioning at KAI (the first dean is A. A. Chuslyaev). S.V. Rumyantsev, who later became the rector of KAI, and then the Deputy Minister of Higher Education of the USSR, the rector of the People's Friendship University named after Patrice Lumumba, was appointed head of the department of aircraft engines.

During the Great Patriotic War, KAI received a number of evacuated units and laboratories of the Institute of Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences, TsAGI, (LII), the Civil Air Fleet Research Institute, as well as the entire staff. In the period from 1941 to 1943, leading aerodynamic scientists A. A. Dorodnitsyn, S. A. Khristianovich, V. V. Struminsky, led by the future president of the USSR Academy of Sciences M. V. Keldysh, carried out work within the walls of KAI.

In 1945, the institute established a department of jet engines - the only one among universities in the country. The future academician V.P. Glushko was invited to head the department, and S.P. Korolev and G.S. Zhiritsky were among the first teachers.

The development of aviation prompted the creation of new faculties: in 1951, the Faculty of Aviation Instrumentation (the first dean was V.V. Maksimov), in 1952 - the Faculty of Aviation Radio Engineering, which soon became the largest in the institute (the first dean was V.I. Popovkin) .

In the mid-1950s, such scientific schools as motion stability, strength of aircraft structures, optimal processes, aircraft engine building, progressive technological processes, etc. received all-Union recognition. As a result of their work and recognition of achievements, it was that in 1956 the KAI was The Council for Awarding the Academic Degree of Doctor of Science was formed.

Since 1958, the publication of a new scientific series of magazines “News of Higher Educational Institutions” began. Responsibility for the direction “Aviation Engineering”, responsible for aviation, was assigned to the institute. The magazine is still being published today, and the magazine is distributed in 30 countries around the world, and, in particular, it is published in English in the USA as “Soviet Aeronautic”.

The development of information technology prompted the opening of the Faculty of Computing and Control Systems (the first dean since 1972 is Yu. V. Kozhevnikov). In 1973, the institute received the name of the outstanding Soviet aircraft designer A. N. Tupolev. In March 1982, the institute was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples in honor of the 50th anniversary of the educational institution.

During the years of perestroika, the institute began global reorganization work, and in 1987, for the first time in the city’s universities, it held elections of rector. The first alternative rector was Professor G.L. Degtyarev - by 2012 - President of the university.

In 1991, a new faculty of management, economics, finance and entrepreneurship was founded at the institute (the first dean was T.K. Sirazetdinov).

The reorganization processes that began in the 1980s continued in the 1990s. So in 1992, the Kazan Aviation Institute was transformed into the Kazan State Technical University (KSTU). Having become a technical university, KAI began to expand the areas and specialties of higher education. In 1992, the Center for Continuing Education (CNE) was created - the first director was A.K. Vatolin. In 1995, the university formed the Faculty of Humanities (the first dean was D. K. Sabirova), in 2000 - the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (the first dean was K. G. Garayev), in 2003 - the Faculty of Economic Theory and Law ( Dean A. Sh. Khasanova) and the Faculty of Psychology and Business Administration (Dean R. V. Gabdreev).

In 1999, on the basis of the faculties of aircraft and aircraft engines, it was formed. The first director is A.F. Dregalin. The use of a multi-level system of training specialists has begun: specialist engineer, bachelor and master.

Further restructuring led to the fact that in 2003, director G.I. Shcherbakov was formed on the basis of the radio engineering faculty. Further, other institutes were formed: automation and electronic instrument making, technical cybernetics and computer science, engineering and economics, social technologies, business and innovative technologies.

On September 2, 2014, based on cooperation between KNRTU-KAI and two German universities - the Technical University of Ilmenau and the Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg - the German-Russian Institute of Advanced Technologies (GRIAT) opened ) .

On September 1, 2015, the Engineering Lyceum of KNRTU-KAI was opened on the basis of the university. Its peculiarity is that children from the 7th to the 11th grade, in addition to studying classical school subjects, receive basic engineering, technical and physics and mathematics training. In January 2016, on the basis of MAOU “Lyceum No. 121” (Education Center No. 178) with the support of the Kazan National Research Technical University named after. A.N. Tupolev (KNITU-KAI) opened the "Lyceum - Engineering Center".

The Kazan Aviation Institute was formed on the basis of the aerodynamic department of Kazan State University by the decision of the Main Directorate of Aviation Industry of the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry on March 5, 1932.

At the beginning, the institute consisted of two departments: aerodynamics and aircraft engineering, on the basis of which the aircraft engineering faculty was officially opened in 1934 (the first dean was K. A. Arkhipov).

In 1945, the first department of jet engines in the country's universities was organized at the institute, and the future academician V.P. Glushko, the founder of the domestic rocket engine industry, was invited to head it. Among its first teachers were S.P. Korolev, later the chief designer of the country's rocket and space systems, Professor G.S. Zhiritsky, after whom one of the craters of the Moon is named.

In 1951, a new faculty of aviation instrument engineering was opened at the institute (the first dean was V.V. Maksimov). In 1952, the Faculty of Aviation Radio Engineering was created, which soon became the largest in the institute (the first dean was V.I. Popovkin).

In the mid-1950s, scientific schools gained full strength and won all-Union fame: motion stability, strength of aircraft structures, optimal processes, aircraft engine building, progressive technological processes, etc. Evidence of the recognition of their authority was the fact that in 1956 the KAI was founded Council for awarding the academic degree of Doctor of Science.

Today KNRTU-KAI is a modern educational and research complex recognized in Russia and abroad, which trains highly qualified personnel for knowledge-intensive industries. Over its 85-year history, KNRTU-KAI has developed traditions that allow the university to occupy high positions among technical universities in Russia. The material and technical base is being modernized, the educational process is being improved, ties with production are being strengthened, and international cooperation is developing. KNRTU-KAI becomes a center of attraction - a university that corresponds to the best world standards.

The scientific potential of the university consists of: 7 research institutes, 1 faculty, 45 departments, 11 research and educational centers, 2 colleges, 1 business incubator, 48 research laboratories. More than 3,000 teachers, researchers and engineers work here, including over 120 doctors of science and professors, among them 17 academicians and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences of Tatarstan and the International Academy of Sciences of Higher Education, more than 700 doctors and candidates of science.
