From the History of the Power Faculty

The Power faculty is one of the biggest faculties of NSTU. The training of power engineers began at the electromechanical faculty in 1955 and in 1956 the first department of electric power direction started its work.

In 1959 the department of technique of high voltage began to work. The development of electropower education demanded the creation of new departments and in 1961 the department of safety and electric mounted technology was formed. Then in the same year three more departments were formed: "Electric power plants", "Electric nets and systems" and "Electric power supply of industrial enterprises and cities".

The quantity of full-time and part-time students reached about 700 and it was decided to open the power faculty. The first dean was Professor O. N. Veselovsky. Later, in 1965, the department of hydroenergy and economics was formed. The same year the department of heat energy and hydraulics joined the faculty. So the formation of the faculty was completed. But our industry demanded new specialists and at the end of the 80-s a new department was opened - "Automatic control of power systems". In those years the reformation of higher education began, and there was a need in new specialists and that was why the faculty began to train specialists for heat power plants. Later students were enrolled to the new speciality "Power engineering economics and management".

In 1993 Yu. M. Sidorkin was elected as the dean of the power faculty. He did a lot for the development of the faculty. In 1998 there appeared new specialities: "Human and occupational safety" and "Relay protection and automation of electric power systems".

Now it is the biggest faculty of NSTU, there are more 2200 students. 1600 are full-time students and 600 - part-time ones. The academic staff is about 100 teachers. There are two councils - electric power and heat power. And there are a lot of perspectives in the future.
