MECHANICAL ENGINEERING FACULTY

General

The Mechanical Engineering Faculty is one of the oldest faculties of the Belarusian National Technical University. Its history started on December 10, 1920 with the opening of the speciality "Machines, Tools and Metal Cutting" at the first higher technical educational establishment founded in the Republic of Belarus. In 1934 the faculty was reorganized into the Mechanical Faculty of the Belarusian Polytechnic Institute (BPI). In 1958 the Mechanical Faculty was renamed into the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.

The Dean of the Faculty is Andrey I. Safonov, Associate Professor, PhD in Engineering.

2960 students study at the Faculty now, 1450 of them being full-time students.

648 young people are admitted annually as the first-year students (education of 301 of them is government-financed, 47 of them pay for their education), 318 of them are full-time students, and 330 are correspondence students.

2 Corresponding Members of NAS of Belarus, 25 Doctors of Science (DSc) and 75 Candidates of Science (PhD) are working at the Faculty.

Student research associations are actively involved in carrying out tasks according to the State Budget Research themes "Development of methods for the innovative designing of the process equipment for mechanical engineering production", "Development and introduction of methods for the innovative designing in the educational process", "Development and research into the composition coatings formed by gas-thermal spraying and laser modification on the working surfaces of rolling mill parts for wedge rolling".

International

The Faculty has a 40-year experience of training engineers for the CIS countries, Europe, Asia, Latin America, Middle East and Africa. Teaching of foreign students has been provided since 1960 and more than 800 foreign students from 52 countries of the world are graduates of the Faculty. 10 students and postgraduates from six countries (China, Iran, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya and Turkmenistan) are studying at the Faculty nowadays.

The joint Belarusian-Latvian Innovation Center of Collaborative Technologies has been set up on the basis of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty.

2 international innovative projects had been performed during 2011: Belarus - Lithuania (in cooperation with Kaunas Power Engineering Institute), Belarus - Ukraine in cooperation with Paton Institute of Electric Welding).
