Saint-Petersburg state marine technical University (Spbgmtu): address of the faculty

The St. Petersburg marine technical state University, affectionately known as the mid-terms, is the only domestic institution that serves naval engineers and marine specialists of the world level. In educational institutions students comprehend the wisdom of the design, construction, operation and maintenance of submarines, warships, civil ships, equipment for exploration and production of minerals in the waters of the seas and oceans.

A Matter of national importance

From the time of Peter I until the Crimean war the Russian Navy was quite modern and was an authoritative force in the sea. However, since the mid-nineteenth century, the world powers began to mass produce “iron monster” with steam engines, surpasses the characteristics of wooden sailboats.

In the years 1860-1880 the British, French, Italians, Americans, Germans mastered the mass production of battleships, and in the early twentieth century – the giant battleships (dreadnoughts), has an incredible even by today's standards firepower. Russian shipbuilding has developed neither good, nor bad. If armadillos belatedly learned to produce, on the construction of a battleship and out of the question. Bought them from a political rival – the UK.

Class specialists is not enough either for the construction of the hulls of vessels or for steam engines and for engines and auxiliary equipment. In order to establish training marine engineers and to create a strong national school of shipbuilders of the Russian Emperor Nicholas II in 1899, a decree was issued on the organization korablestroitelei Department (faculty) on the basis of the Polytechnic Institute. He became the ancestor of the modern Saint-Petersburg marine technical state University.

The name of the revolution

Ironically, not smaller problems was at the revolutionary government that overthrew the “hated the tsarist regime”. By the early 1920s as a result of the losses incurred during the First World war and the Civil war, cargo and military fleet the country has considerably decreased in quantity, and behind quality. Trade-transport fleet, in particular, was in this period of less than one percent of the world.

The Soviet Union have embarked on economic, political and military revival. The need arose and a sharp increase in Maritime transport. Rental and purchase of vessels abroad was extremely unfavorable, and in conditions of the economic blockade of the country and trudnootdelyaemoy. In this regard, the leadership of the country, the question was raised about the restoration and development of its shipbuilding industry and enhanced training for shipbuilding.

The Government Adopted an ambitious programme of development of the industry required to sustain a large number of specialists, primarily engineers. Editions of the shipbuilding faculty of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute to implement such an ambitious program was not enough. 26 April 1930 the Supreme Council of National Economy issued order No. 1257 on the organization of the Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute (the future Saint-Petersburg marine technical state University) on the basis of the Shipbuilding faculty of Polytechnic Institute.

Development

In the history Spbgmtu the most active period began in 1930, when it created an independent Maritime University – Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute (LCI). Due to the severe shortage of engineers and shipbuilders in those years, every graduate had to start doing a serious job on the design and construction of ships. They began working in factories and in design offices long before release.

The First years graduates «Korabelny" (SPb) was transferred from the number of students admitted by another Department of the Institute. Since 1934 began the editions engineers whose education took place entirely in the LCI. Among them, future Minister of the Shipbuilding industry B. E. Butoma, chief designers distinguished vehicles S. N. Kovalev, N. N. Isanin, V. V. Burachek, NV. P. Dubinin, L. L. Ermash, E. I. Yukhnin.

Initially, the Institute had 2 faculties:

• Shipbuilding (Sudokompozit).
• Machine building (Engineering).

The Shipbuilding faculty was headed by Nikolai Kazan (1886-1959), and Engineering – Professor Vladimir K. Vasilyev (1886-1983).

Wartime

The Maritime University of St. Petersburg is proud of the exploits of their predecessors. Students and staff of LCI are directly involved in the defense of the city. More than 1,000 people joined the 264th battalion. In mid-September 1941, volunteers with the support of regular units of the two weeks to repel the German divisions,supported by aircraft and armored vehicles. Unfortunately, almost all fighters were killed. Their vitality allowed them to win time to strengthen the defensive lines and the construction of fortifications. During the siege, the Institute worked with teaching staff (who were not on the front) were evacuated to Kyrgyzstan.

Peaceful life

In 1930, the Institute of land was placed for rent on (Gorky) Avenue. In 1931, the University was given 2 floor in the house № 3 on Pilot street. After the war, thanks to the efforts of the rector E. V. Tolstyh the Institute has greatly expanded. In 1962 started the construction of the complex (reminiscent of ocean liner) in the Ulyanka, which today is the parent for the Saint-Petersburg marine technical state University.

Actively developed General Engineering faculty (first as a set, ensuring consistency of education for the lower classes, and then as an independent teaching and research center), faculty of Science and Humanities education (FANGO). On this basis he LCI in the 1990s transformed the Maritime University of St. Petersburg. Virtually all major Department FENGO steel manufacturing. And today there are serious scientific research.

Significantly increased the level of education. Graduates of the LCI was created the most modern ships and vessels, many of which had unique characteristics, surpassing the level of development of other countries. University scientists conducted important for national economy research, created the unique technology and laboratories, founded new specialties and faculties.

Department Spbgmtu

The Formation of the departments began in the 1930s:

• 1930: Higher mathematics; Descriptive geometry and graphics; strength of materials; Theoretical mechanics; Foreign languages; ship Theory; structural mechanics of a ship; equipment of vessels and electronics; Designing of ships; joint Department of social Sciences.
• 1932: Physics.
• 1933: Materials science and technology of metals.
• 1934: Welding of ship structures.
• 1936: the hull Structure.
• 1937: the Chemistry of the vessel.

In the modern period it was added to the Department:

• Information technology.
• Marine audio system.
• Ocean engineering.
• Computer graphics.

Address Spbgmtu: a Pilot St., cor. 3, St. Petersburg, Russia, 190121.

Leadership

For the most part, the Institute carried with the rectors. Of 70 years for 61 years, the University steadily directed three wonderful, outstanding person: I. I. Yakovlev, E. V. Tolstykh and D. M. Rostovtsev. However, 1930-1933 and in 1941-1945 years, the leadership Institute was unstable, the level of qualification of the teaching staff was so great and traditions so strong, that the practical questions of work of the University and training of engineering personnel in these periods were resolved successfully. Today acting rector Spbgmtu is Gleb Andreyevich of Turicin.
