Department of Physics

Department of Physics of Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU) has worked since 1832 when Physical Study to demonstrate physical phenomena during lectures for students was created at the Craft Institution of Moscow Training House.

On the first June in 1968, the Craft Institution was reformed into Emperor Moscow Technical Specialized School and the Physical Study got a new official status as Department of General and Applied Physics. Professor A.S.Vladimirskii, who had graduated from Moscow University, headed the Department.

At different times a number of remarkable scientists have worked at the Department: academician, president of USSR Science Academy S.I.Vavilov, corresponding-members of USSR Science Academy K.A.Krug and A.S.Predvoditelev, professors A.B.Mlodzievskii, A.K.Trapeznikov, A.V.Shpol’skii, N.E.Uspenskii, V.D.Zernov, K.A.Putilov.

Since 2001 the Department of Physics trains on the courses of bachelor and master degrees in Engineering Physics.
