History

The birth of the University
After World War I and the 1917 Revolution, many people in search of rescue from the threats fled to areas of the country that were still relatively far away from combat areas and centers of revolutionary upheaval. In Odessa, the refugees made up a significant portion of the population. Among them were many students, technicians who were forced to leave their capital institutions. Among the refugees were also professors of higher education institutions in other cities. The students were unable to continue classes and complete an interrupted education. At this time, Odessa had all the necessary personnel to organize a technical college. The city had prominent physicists - Academicians L.I. Mandelstam and N.D. Papaleksi; major engineers, Professors Ch.D. Clark, B.N. Kandyba. They, like many teachers from Novorossiysk University (Academician S.I. Solntsev, Prof. I.Y. Timchenko, J. J. Bardach, Kagan, W. Laskar, S. A. Shatunovskii, A.V. Borinevich, V.N. Tverdokhlebov, P.M Tolstoy), were supporters of the idea of creating Polytechnic Institute in Odessa. A committee to organize such an institution was set. During February 1918, this constituent body along with the participation of a prominent scientist, Professor Y.I. Timchenko from Novorossiysk University developed draft regulations on the Institute and determined its structure. In January 1918, "Union of nonresident students, technicians” already functioned in Odessa." Students did not only give up hope to continue their studies, but also acted vigorously. First, they established a link with the "Union of Engineers and Technicians." B.N. Kondratyev was chairperson of the Union (future professor PGI) who served as chairperson of the City Council. B.N. Kondratiev allowed students to carry out registration of students in higher technical education. Hard work began to establish contacts with many public urban institutions. He addressed the students and the Odessa branch of Technical Society in April 6, 1918 with a request to convene a meeting regarding the organization of Polytechnic Institute in Odessa. Such a meeting was held in the Conference Room and technical society in April 9. The meeting was attended by Mayor M. Bagritsky who welcomed the initiative of the student Union of technicians to establish a Polytechnic Institute and promised to subsidize the first establishment. M.V. Brajkovic, the Chairman of the Odessa branch of the Technical Society, promised to take an active part in the establishment of this institution. After the extensive exchange of views, specialized working committees was formed to prepare for the initial documentation for the establishment of higher technical educational institution in Odessa. These were soft-Learning Commission (15 pers.) Financial and economic Committee (11 pers), and the organizational Committee (7 members). The City Council Finance Committee reviewed proposals developed by public organizations, and then in April 30, 1918, they urgently discussed them at the City Council. At meetings (April 16, and May 23, 14 and 22) they addressed the issues of development of the Charter of the Institute, the problems of land acquisition for construction of school buildings, the quantitative number of students by each faculty, the formation of the teaching staff. In May 22, at the the specialized committee joint meeting, emeritus professor of Artillery Academy named after Michailovskiy Lieutenant General A.A. Nilus was elected to the post of rector. The first intake of students at the Polytechnic Institute was announced in three departments: the mechanical, engineering and construction, and economic. In June, the Odessa newspapers published rules for the students’ admission for these departments. The regulations emphasized that the students who completed the contest certificates would enter the deparment as the first-year students, and those who had studied earlier at higher technical and commercial schools would join the department as the second-year students. By early July, the office of the Institute, located at 11, Pushkin Street, had registered nearly 2000 people willing to become the Institute students, established in enrollment - 1,000. Soon an appeal to the Government of the Ukrainian State (Hetman Skoropadsky) was prepared and sent to Kiev to support the initiative of establishing Polytechnic Institute in Odessa. B.N. Kondratiev and M. Braykevich signed the letter. On that appeal from Kyiv a document arrived as of August 31, 1918, in which the Ukrainian State Ministry of Internal Affairs did not object against the request contained in the circulation. In August 23, the Technical Society held a public admission of students to its room. Total 1766 petitions with the documents were taken up for consideration that satisfy the rules of admission. The results were as follows: the first –year- students: 293, 159 and 300 the second- year students, 179, 111 and 58 were enrolled in the mechanical, engineering, construction and economic departments, respectively. Overall, 1100 persons were estimated at the Institute. In September 18, 1918 the official opening of the Odessa Polytechnic Institute took place. The Odessa newspaper reported that at noon, in the hall of the Technical Society (4, Novoselskogo Str.) "Modestly and quietly, but sincerely and warmly Odessa celebrated the opening of the Odessa Polytechnic Institute as long-awaited and much-needed industry for the South of the country." At the technical departments, the classes did not begin until November 15 at the third floor of the former barracks. (23, Sabanskiy Poltava Victory Street). From the earliest days of the faculties at the Institute, a study and research work of highly qualified and experienced faculty staff was being conducted. Among them were Professors V.I. Alymova, K.K. Siminskogo, K.S. Zavrieva, B.L. Nicolai, N. Savin, N. Vasiliev, S. Solntseva, A.V. Borinevicha, G.I. Tiktina, A.A. Kursina, A.I. Didebulidze, K.A. Bogomazov, V.A. Reingbald, V.N. Tverdokhlebov, and I.J. Timchenko. The first years (1918-1919)
The first two years of existence, the Odessa Polytechnic Institute overcame enormous difficulties. Without having any sufficient material resources, it could not provide even the most necessary items for either students or the faculty. They had to work in extreme conditions of occupation of the Austro-German troops and the Anglo-French intervention (December 1918 - April 1919). Due to the artificial division of the city into the so-called closed zones, the classes were often disrupted. Getting to school in Sabanskiy barracks, the students had to resort to all sorts of tricks to overcome the zone post guards. The invaders often used premises of the Institute for the quartering of their soldiers. In that connection, they violated the learning process, damaged and looted equipment in offices and laboratories. Lectures were given in winter months in cold, unheated classrooms. There was a frequent electricity cut off in the classrooms, there were not pieces of furniture enough in them. Many students were making notes on the windowsill, sometimes - in light of kerosene lamps. However, the thirst for knowledge overcame all adversity. At the lectures given by such brilliant teachers as I.J. Timchenko, S.O. Shatunovskii, E.L. Bunitsky (higher mathematics and theoretical mechanics), L.I. Mandelstam, Papaleksi, M.A. Aganin (Physics), I.E. Adadurov, D.C. Dobroserdov (Chemistry); CH.D. Clark, V. Alimov (shipbuilding and heat), S.N. Berlin, R.V. Lvovich, E.P. Mach (electrical and radio engineering) the the lecture halls were overcrowded. The founders of the Institute attached great importance to practical training of students, knowledge of their production. These issues had been comprehensively discussed since early August in the technical community while considering programs for individual subjects. It was also agreed during the learning process to give special attention to the general formulation of practical exercises. With these instructions, the rector of the Institute and dean's offices from the first day of its operation made great efforts to provide that purchased equipment for laboratories and classrooms. Because of no special funds were allocated for these purposes, the Institute fully strengthened research and production due to the city's industries. Therefore, with the assistance of head of the Odessa port, the future teachers of the Institute Prof. Y. Bakhmetyeva, polytechnics acquired the strength of materials test station - the only of its kind in Southern Russia. Thanks to the energy of Professor LI Mandelstam the physical office was operating. Through the efforts made by K.B. Romaniuk, S. Solntsev and B.F. Tsomakiona the physical laboratory for practical training of students was established. The young college was in great need for textbooks and supporting technical literature, in particular. In the summer of 1918, the media reported the following appeal: "In connection with the opening of Odessa Polytechnic Institute and the lack of a sufficient number of textbooks, manuals, software, drawings, etc.. Academic Section of Student Union technicians of Odessa addresses a request to the citizens of Odessa to assist the student body and donate the technical and mathematical literature ". Residents responded to the call of the newspaper, and after some time, Students' Union technicians staffed technical library, which was presented as a gift to the Polytechnic Institute. The supreme administrative and economic authority of the Board of the Institute was headed by the rector, Professor Emeritus, A.A. Nilus and deputy chairman, Prof. I.J. Timchenko. Besides them, the Board consisted of Professor V.I. Alimov, S.O. Zagorski, Ch.D.Clark, B.I. Kondratiev, A.M. Levitsky, L.I. Mandelstam, A.A. Osipovich, I.V. Silver, and V.N. Tverdokhlebov. In its work, the Board relied on the Institute Council, composed of 19 members - representatives of the deans' offices, trade-union organizations and students. The first deans were elected: the mechanical department - Professor Ch.D. Clark, in civil engineering - Professor A.P. Van der Fleet, on the economic - Prof. V.N. Tverdokhlebov. In 1919, under the pressure of revolutionary units the invaders had to abandom the city. The Soviet authorities were restored again in the city. The Commissariat of Public Education headed by professor E.N. Schepkin was created at Executive body of the district. The Commissioner of Education headed by Professor E.N. Shchepkin created the Provincial Executive Committee. In wartime, the post of vice-rectors of universities and rectors were abolished, and the administration of higher education were concentrated in the hands of the Board of Commissioners of higher education institutions - BC High School. In 1919, in Odessa, there were six such schools: the University, the higher women's courses, the highest women's medical courses, polytechnic, and the highest international agricultural Institutes. BC of the Odessa High School decided to combine all these Universities for administrative reasons into the Institution of high learning on the foundation of the University. In June 20, 1919 and the mechanical engineering faculty and economic faculty of the Odessa Polytechnic Institute became, respectively, part of the technical and economic departments of Odessa University, which officially lasted for three months. August 23, 1919, Denikin occupied Odessa, orders established in the city varied little from the time of the Austro-German occupation and foreign intervention. Despite the reigning white terror in the city, the educational process was continueing at the Odessa Polytechnic Institute. Great Patriotic War Period 1941-1945
Peaceful life of the Institute staff was interrupted by the war. The Industrial Institute’s colleagues entered into national time of trials bravely. The rallies, Party and Komsomol meetings were held at all the faculties. The speakers called to spare no efforts, and if required — and the life itself to rebuff the fascist invaders for complete victory over the enemy. The doctor of engineering sciences, professor V. А. Dobrovolsky on behalf of scientists declared at the populous rally that they considered themselves mobilized and on the first call of Military Command, they would take arms in their hands. The associate professor V.S.Davidov called for Institute’s colleagues to revise lab operations and convert laboratories and workshops into a front arsenal. At the meeting of scientific Council that took place soon after that the decision was taken as to revise all research work of departments with a focus on the themes having a defensive value. On the party organization’s initiative the new curriculum of Institute activities was introduced, all employees were recalled from vacations, and teaching staff, auxiliary personnel, workers of workshops were transferred to live in barracks. Already on the second day of war, the Institute saw off the teaching staff in the army. As part of one of the first groups the associate professors А.Perlov, S.L.Mac, assistants K. I. Zablonsky, V. Lobodsky, M. P. Pohilo, graduate student М. Bespalko went to the front. Many students became the cadets of war colleges and the academy named after М. V. Frunze. A military situation was folded in a way that Odesa without being in a direct vicinity of a state boundary soon became a front-line city after the launch of the war. And then the 73-day defense of city began. Together with the army, Black Sea Navy Fleet, Odesa was defended by all her habitants. Among the defenders of this stronghold were many teachers and students of the Industrial Institute. I. Ya. Peredery, the veteran of Institution of higher learning, was in charge of the battery of air defense regiment not far from Odesa. After a wound, he was the head of workshops of the army for a long time, South front, and then the head of the 1st Ukrainian front. Among the Odesa’s first defenders presented with the Medal of Lenin by the Decree of Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR as of September 16, 1961 was D.P.Boiko, teacher of the Institute. A coastal battery that was under his command conducted fierce fights with the enemy in June 1941. Mobilized from the first day of war in the Red Army was one of the eldest workers of the Institute I. А. Tshiklin who bravely fought with the enemy in the vicinity of Odesa, in North Caucasus and in the Crimea. Many young men and girls were sent by the Institute at the disposal of Military Command to participate in fortification works on the approaches to Odesa. The bright display of patriotism of the Soviet people was creation of citizens-in-arms. Over 40 thousand Odesites joined these voluntarily military formations. Many teachers and students of the Industrial Institute who merged into destructive battalions created in every district of the cities executed the civic duty bravely. In all building of the Institute in the day and night there were members of fire brigades on a watch, the groups of fighters of air defense were on patrol. At beginning of war, a few student groups of senior students almost graduated the course. They were to pass exams on job safety and other auxiliary disciplines, and to undergo practice. Naturally, it was impossible in the near time to rely on completion of studies. Situation on fronts every day was being complicated. Under such circumstances, the industry that concentrated on the territory of east districts of the country assumed the basic loading of mass production for the front. The enterprises extremely lacked for specialists. Taking into account the necessities of rear the management and party organization of the Institute decided to produce and send the large group of young engineers to work for the defensive enterprises. Each of them got a certificate that they had a right to hold a position of engineer (after wartime, many of «pre-scheduled graduating students» defended diplomas) at the facility. Heroism of warriors in the fields of battles was similar to the selfless labor of the Soviet people in the rear. Inviolable friendship of front and rear was going strong. Day and night workshops and laboratories of the Institute worked under a slogan: «All for front, all for the victory». Bureau of technical assistance to the enterprises of mechanical faculty headed by the associate professor M. А. Nikulin, group of teachers of hydraulics and machines tools departments in the days of the defense of Odesa fully took up planning and making of stationary flame-throwers. They were successfully used by the defenders of city in combat against fascist invaders. In addition, the mechanical faculty team created the special construction of barrel attachments. As a result, a fatal fiery stream was considerably extended. At the same time, production of 50-mm mortars of pre-production models was generated right in educational workshops. In near future this weapon was produced at the enterprises of the besieged city. On initiative and with participation of the Institute teaching staff in a chemical building ( 2,Schepkin Street) the production of frangible hand grenade began to fight against the enemy tanks and also grenades and mines caps-detonators. These works were conducted under the leadership of professor Е. К. Lopatto, associate professors М. L. Varlamov, V.V. Vyazov, P. Ya. Krainego and others. On the first days of July 1941 under decision by State Defense Committee, the evacuation of major enterprises, establishments and educational establishments from Odesa and the district areas began. The Industrial Institute teaching staff was prepared to relocate to the East. Most valuable equipment of laboratories, studies, unique devices, instruments, technical documentation were shipped to Rostov-on-Don. By the decision of regional committee of CP(m) M.F. Volohovich, the director of Institute, remained in Odesa and was appointed the first secretary of sea transport, regional committee of the party. He did large organizational work on evacuation of material and cultural values, wounded and population. Occupying Odesa left by Soviet troops in October 1941, the fascist vandals began to rob of a city and its habitants, to take out national economy values to Germany, Romania. Along with enterprise equipment, the monuments of culture and art they stole the apparatus of Institute of higher learning laboratories, exact devices, chemical reagents, operating models, etc. From an Industrial Institute the invaders took out almost 60 percent of machine-tool pool of training workshops. Some teachers of the Institute for various reasons were not able to drive out from Odesa and remained on the temporally occupied territory. Many of them continued to contest with an enemy with all accessible means, assisted partisans and underground workers. Thus, professor E. К. Lopatto on the instructions of partisans assisted to disrupt the transportation of the Odesa superphosphatic plant by the enemy. Risking his life he made in the laboratory of university, where worked in those days and also and in his apartment explosive, mines with a tolite detonator that was successfully used by patriots for the diversionary acts at the seaport. In 1942-1944 V. S. Diratsu, manager of the department of electric power production and distribution, was the member of clandestine anti-fascist organization. He executed a few tasks on sabotage of occupation authorities’ events in Odesa trying to put the power-station into operation. The employees of the Institute who drove out to the East of the country ignoring a tiredness did all they could to gain the victory. From October 1, 1943 the Odesa Industrial Institute restored its functioning in Penza, began to train engineering staff for the industry of the USSR. S. V. Berezko was appointed the institute director. Yet at the beginning of war professor V. А. Dobrovolsky as a great machine engineer-builder according to the Order of Peoples’ Commissariat was evacuated to Krasnodar where he was engaged in research work, and then led mechanical Institutes in Stalingrad and Chelyabinsk. In 1944, for merits in development of science and organization of work of Institution of higher learning V. А. Dobrovolsky was conferred on the honored rank «Honored worker of science and technology of RSFSR». For implementation of tasks of the State Defense Committee on creation of the special armament he was decorated with higher reward of Motherland - Order of Lenin, and also the badge « High achiever of tank-building». V. А. Parail and I.P.Nikiforov, the state grant holders, worked on defense enterprises selflessly. As of April 10, 1944 the troops of 3rd Ukrainian front liberated Odesa. Victorious red banners flew up (hoisted) above a city. Workers of factories and plants, sea and railway transport immediately began the revival of the economy destroyed by the enemy. Renewal of schools, colleges and higher educational establishments began in parallel. The archived documents testify that organization of Industrial Institute in Odesa began on the second day after liberation of city from invaders. Already in April 11, 1944 the teachers and students began to gather together. Pre-war buildings of Institution of higher education along 16,Schepkin Str. and along 16, Gogol Str. were burnt out, others had been temporally occupied by the military units. Therefore, they had to accommodate in the building of the water Institute. The first order on an Industrial Institute was issued in April 18, 1944. In it, the creation of departments as part of the institute and availability of professors staff was announced. In that period, 20 departments were created and they were operational. Among them: a department of higher mathematics - the associate professor V. N. Kravchenko (the head), associate professors of B. I. Banova, G. V. Коstandy, assistants Е. L. Rutkovskaya and I. N. Stoyanov; a department of physics - the associate professor V. V. Malyarov, assistants S. V. Кravchenko and L. V. Zagradskaya; department of languages - senior teacher V. А. Chernyahovskaya (acting head), teacher V. Е. Chernomazova; a department of graphic arts - the associate professor P. Е. Shiryaev (head), and associate professor V. N. Nagolin, assistants V. I. Zhernovkov and А. I. Ustimenko; department of theoretical and applied mechanics- I. G. Каrаvansky (head), assistant А. F. Nazarenko; department of technology and physical metallurgy - acting associate professor В. Б. Rodovansky (head), department of strength of materials - the associate professor А. I. Rudenko (head), assistant P. I. Alexeev; a department of machines and lifting-transport mechanisms - the associate professor S. D. Кravchenko (head), associate professor K.I. Kuzmin, assistant L. М. Tomashevskaya; a department of the theoretical electrical engineering - the assistant А. G. Golomolzin (head), assistant К. F. Fuki; a department of electric machines - the associate professor L. V. Volyansky (head), assistant А. А. Ivanov; a department of electromechanics - the associate professor I. V. Gerasimovsky (head); a department of power supply - the associate professor V. S. Diratsu (head); a department of thermodynamics - the associate professor Е. V. Belitsan (head); a department of boiler plant - the associate professor E.V. Mikhaelis (head); a department of power engines - the associate professor L. I. Коn (head); a department of tractors, vehicles and agricultural machines - the associate professor А. К. Rahmanin (head); a department of the special technology of metals and department of engineering - professor I. F. Ivanushkin (head); a department of organization of production and job safety - associate professor К. М. Siminsky (head). Originally, the Institute had two laboratories, three educational rooms and mechanical workshops. The library counted 55000 volumes of technical literature and textbooks. Employments at mechanical and electrical engineering faculties began in April 24, 1944. During the first lectures, 78 students were present. The heating engineering laboratory, room of graphic arts, tractors and cars began to work. In early May, classes recommenced for senior students of heating engineering faculty, and the number of students grew up to 86. At the same time, preparatory courses began to work for persons interested to enter Industrial institute. Restoration work was in full swing on all enterprises of Odesa. The workers raised from the ruins plant facilities, assembled an equipment, erected moorages at seaport. The assistance of the experienced engineers, scientists was in need everywhere. The departments of technical Institutions of higher learning of city rendered this assistance, foremost. The research sector of Industrial Institute renewed its activity in May 1944. The orders of industry were already performed at that time. Teachers and research workers helped to restore two workshops of the plant named after Starostin, designed an oxygen fluidizer municipal power-station, consulted power engineering specialists on issues concerning making the cast-iron founding and turbines tools processing. The assistance the science workers rendered to workers in renewal of enterprises of industry, transport and agriculture was widely spread in that period. In May 1944 the scientists of Kharkiv appealed with an open letter through a newspaper «Soviet Ukraine» to all scientists and intellectuals of republic calling them to «join renewal of the cities and areas giving to it all forces and knowledge, all experience and energy». The appeal of Kharkiv was met with large enthusiasm by the members of scientific circles of Odesa. Scientific Council of Industrial Institute decided to strengthen assistance to the industrial enterprises, machine-tractor stations and collective farms of the area. To that end, it was set to organize courses on preparation and in-plant training of mechanics, electrical engineers and heating engineers, and tractor drivers, combine operators, drivers as well. Soon at Odesa regional plan body the scientific and technical council was created on the voluntarily basis supervised by professor V. А. Dobrovolsky who returned from Chelyabinsk. More than 200 scientists and practical specialists-workers including some professors, associate professors and teachers of industrial institute were engaged in work of the council. Large organizational work was conducted by the Institute preparing for new 1944/45 school year. New tasks were set before institution of higher learning. It restored a material and technical base quickly, strengthened departments by employing the experienced teaching staff. In October, the classes began at all faculties - mechanical heating engineering, electrical engineering and chemical engineering. A structure of departments at that time was as follows: a mechanical faculty prepared (full-time education) engineers on such specialties: technology of engineer, metal-cutting machine tools, foundry engineering and machines of foundry engineering. At the evening department, future specialists were trained on cold metals processing and metal-cutting machine tools. A technological faculty (from 1948 called - heat and power engineering) prepared engineers for heat-engines, steam power plant, industrial use of thermal energy and refrigeration equipment. At the electrical engineering faculty, students got education on the electrical equipment of industrial enterprises, and at chemical engineering - on technology of inorganics, analytical and organic chemistry, processes and vehicles of chemical industry and physical chemistry. The decision of Council of Peoples Commissars of the USSR from April 30, 1945 played an important role in the life of the Institute under which it was again restructured into Polytechnic Institution of higher learning. Professor V. А. Dobrovolsky was the rector of the Institute at that time. Teaching staff and students met the victory over fascist Germany in May a 1945 with new acheivements in training of skilled engineering staff. They with yet greater inspiration got down to the renewal of the destroyed buildings of the Institute and strengthened its material and technical base to convert the Institution of higher learning into front-rank higher technical educational establishment of the republic. Student building brigades worked with large inspiration and effort. They worked under a slogan: «If you wish to study - recover the Institute». |

In 1969, professor K.I.Zablonsky, the doctor of engineering sciences, who has been running the Institute since1985, was appointed the reactor of the Institute. The sixth decade of the Institute marked the further expansion of its material and technical base, in particular building of new buildings, creation of new laboratories, and acquisition of equipment for them, by the increase in a number of computers. Works on major scientific and pertaining to national economy decision-making problems were underway. Therefore, in 1970ies the electro mechanics faculty (EMF) was additionally manned by three doctors of sciences (L. P. Petrov, А. M. Koritin, М. К. Zaharov) and by a great number of candidates. Exploitation of new educational buildings began whose construction was complete in 1972 that improved the laboratory base of profiling departments considerably. The volumes of scientific researches, editions of scientific monographs, textbooks and train aids grew considerably. In 1967, after reorganization of HCC of the USSR and reductions in number of Councils for defence of theses, the new specialized Council for defence of candidate's (Ph.D) theses on specialty electrical equipment - first and the only body over a period of years in republic - began to run under the doctor of engineering sciences, professor А. М. Koritin. Analysis of scientific activity of branch and problem laboratories of the Institute showed that majority of them successfully combined theoretical orientation of researches with the decision of practical tasks of scientific and technical advance in the area. Therefore, the electric motor with a wave rotor was developed and manufactured by the new type laboratory of the low-speed special electric motors in 1973 (associate professor М. К. Zaharov, a scientific supervisor); variable-speed electric motor for cast iron half-hose goods was created and tested; a rotor electric motor was developed for a freon compressor; methodology of calculation of single-wound multispeed engines was developed including those for elevators. In 1974, the branch research laboratory of steel ropes researched the steel ropes (doctor of engineering sciences, professor М. F. Glushko as a supervisor) and developed from the strands plastic wrung out in a circle and rolled in a trihedron. Ministry of non-ferrous metals of the USSR organized the mass production of ropes from plastic wrung at Odesa, Khartsisky wire cable and ropeyard and at Magnitogorsk gauging plant – the ropes were used in mine hoisting unit and winches. At the Institute “Sixth seminar regarding durability and longevity of steel ropes” (May 13-18, 1968), “Eighth meeting of permanent standing seminar on diffusive satiation and coverage at the section of physics mathematical issues of material science of Academy of Science of UKRAINE”( Octobers 1-4,1968), “Measuring of charges in conduits of big diameter Conference” (May 19-21, 1970), “ The VIII All-union scientific conference on technology of inorganics and mineral fertilizers” (May 23-26, 1972), “Progressive methods of tooling and quality of surface of machines tools” seminar (September 16-17,1974), the XXVII All-union scientific and technical conference of foundry men “Increase of exactness of founding and operating reliability of the molded pieces”( November 12-14, 1975), “Sump for the automated pump stations of the irrigatory systems Conference” (September 29-October 1, 1975) were held. In 1973, in the All-union competition on the best organization of research works Odesa polytechnic staff won the first place among technical institutions of higher learning of the country. For the high ratings attained by students in research work in 1972, the Institute was given the first prize and transitory Red banner by CC of ALCYU and Department of the higher and middle special education the USSR. In 1970ies, a big importance was attached to the major department subjects of scientific researches of institution of higher learning. Therefore, according to the plan of СMEA, Decrees of the government, State plans for the development of national economy the USSR and UKRAINE, coordinating plan of SC of MC of the USSR, plan of АS to UKRAINE and department plans : MHIL of the USSR, Ministry of institution of high learning (MIHL) of UKRAINE, SC of standards of the USSR, MC of the USSR of and others the scientists of the Institute executed scientific researches in 1971-1975. Amount of the following subjects in those years made up 7-15 percent compared to the general amount of executable research works. Enlargement of scientific researches and the fight against the so-called «focus» on narrow subjects, conduct of complex researches and large themes characterized 70-е years. Among large works of that period were the following: «Research, development and technical assistance in production and introduction of radiation of steam generators of ОPI-ZМZ (Thermal power-stations chair headed by a chair professor A.P.Voinov ) and «Development research of complex of gravimetric devices for a metallurgical production»(departments of descriptive geometry and graphic arts and computors). The objects of new technology created at the Institute were taken into mass production. Over a period of 1971-1975, 228 radiation steam generators were manufactured and applied in the industry. In order to accelerate introduction of scientific developments in industrial production the Institute in 1975 transited to the new form of concord of science with a production, supposing to award long-term contracts at the level of ministries and associations. The first contract concerning ОPI was an agreement as of April 1975 between Ministry of Electron Production of the USSR and Ministry of institution of high learning of UKRAINE. In order to perform that based on period contracts (1976-1980) with the leading enterprises of industry, the branch research laboratory of non-destructive control was created at an Institute. Later on, the faculty of industry workers’ in-plant training was created. Strengthening the role of branch and basic research laboratories became the characteristic feature of science in 1970ies. In 1975, at ОPI there were 2 basic research and 4 branch research laboratories, in 1978 - 2 basic research and 6 branch laboratories. In 1974, the creative collaboration of ОPU along with R&D production facility «Oxygenmach» was initiated. A fruitful collaboration there could be observed in all spheres including scientific and scientific technology. Actually, institution of higher learning got a ground for implementation of the scientific developments. In course of time, a concord turned into the creation of R&D production facility «Oxygenmach» - ОPI». On the same principle were created R&D production facility (PF) «ОPI – PF “Pressmach” (1977) and «ОPI - PF “Grinding machinery”(1978). The scientific achievements of the Institute received the high appraisal in the society. The newspaper «Soviet Ukraine» wrote: “Fundamentally new radio technical devices and devices used for the study of outer space on the «Venus-9» «Venus -10», «Forecast-5», «Маrs-4», «Маrs-5», «Маrs-6», «Маrs-7» space crafts were developed». The solar system physics council of AS of the USSR confessed that these devices according to their specifications were significantly better than foreign analogues» (the researches conducted in the department for radio technical devices headed by Yu.D. Krisilov were meant). Implementation of researches at high scientific level allowed the institute to get 68 copyright certificates in 1977, and in 1978, anniversary for the Institute, - 96 copyright certificates and 3 patents : 1 patent of France «hoisting crane»(M.F. Glushko and I.F.Pahomov); The exhibits presented by the Institute at NEEE of the USSR in 1977 received 13 awards including 5 silver and 7 bronze awards. There was a post-graduate course available that 200 soviet and international graduate students took successfully at the Institute. In the sixth decade of the Institute doctoral theses were defended: by V.T. Kozlov(1968), G.V.Zemskov(1968), N.V. Olijnik (1969), N.F.Grechko (1971), M.B. Sverdnik (1971), A.A.Chizh (1972), E.I. Taubman (1972), I.M.Kagansky (1973), L.P. Petrov (1973),A.P. Voloshenko (1973), A.M.Koritin (1974), A.M. Grabovsky (1974), L.A. Alexeeva (1975). In 1972, rank «Deserved worker of higher school» was conferred on A.M. Koritin, and in 1975, «Honored worker of science and technique of UKRAINE » rank was conferred on K.I.Zablonsky. Prominent position in the research work of the Institute was occupied by the scientific and technical library placed now in the special four-storied building. 550 persons can simultaneously work in five reading-rooms. In 1974, due to the staff of library and research sector of the Institute the department of scientific and technical information was created. The material and technical base of the Institute contributed to fruitful research work. In 1970ies, on territory of the Institute modern educational buildings of chemical-technological and radio technical faculties, the department of physics, heating engineering and energy technical laboratory and libraries appeared. By the 59th anniversary of founding of the Institute recreation center was put into operation with an assembly hall including 1,000 seats and row of other premises. Here conferences, seminars, symposiums, and meeting of scientific council of the Institute began to be held. Already in early 1970ies, wide installation of the computing engineering began in engineering practice. 317 different computers appeared at the Institute including the «World», «Nairi», «Minsk-22», «Minsk-32», etc. Work was conducted to strengthen basic research and branch laboratories aimed at converting them into authentic centers of the concentrations of scientific workforces with task of implementing fundamental and applied researches. The seven branch, two basic research laboratories and one interfaculty reformed in 1982 in design office «Desret» were operational at the institute. The electric engine with screw stator (V.T. Belikov) received the patent of France. On the eve of change 1980-1987
A period on the eve of deep changes in the history of the Institute took place under the head of rector, professor K.I.Zablonskiy and since 1985 - under the rector, professor V.V.Azhogina . The expansion of material and technical base of the Institute was underway and a favorable collaboration got better with production. Work was purposefully conducted to strengthen the basic research and branch the laboratories aimed at converting them into the centers of concentration of the scientific workforces in order to implement the fundamental and applied researches. At the institute there were 7 branch, 2 basic research laboratories and a 1 interfaculty reformed in 1982 in design office “discrete”. After the ninth five-year plan (half of the seventh decade of ОPI), 1293 requests were submitted, 500 copyright certificates, 521 positive decisions, 22 patents were granted (in previous five-year - 951,432, 120,15 accordingly). Only in 1985, 325 requests were submitted, 140 positive decisions, 77 copyright certificates and 6 patents were granted. The patents of France, USA and German Federal Republic were granted for "Impulsive variator"(developed by of V.F. Dzyuba, V.V.Besedin, B.N. Biryukov). The patent of France was granted for "Device for adjusting of voltage"(V.T. Rudnitsky, Yu.L. Koroteskiy). The patent of France is also granted for the "Linear electric motor"(V.T.Belikov). The Institute was logged to the republican Book of labor glory and labor velour at NEE exhibition The "Honored worker of science of UKRAINE" rank was conferred on G.B. Zemskov and A.B. Eakimov. In 1986, A.B. Yakimov became the laureate of the State award of UKRAINE. V.V. Skalevoy was conferred on the "Deserved inventor of UKRAINE" rank in 1982. Doctoral theses were defended by: Yu. I.Abramovich (1981), V.A. Mokritskiy (1983), A.F.Nazarenko (1983), L.A.Ivanov (1984). Preparation of international students, future specialists for 83 countries of the world was sharply on the increase. Entering into the XXI century 1987-2003
In spring of 1987, the scientists of the Odesa Polytechnic Institute were first in Ukraine to work out «Institute rector election regulations » in dispute. One of its most attractive requirements was that all the personnel of thousands of scientists, teachers and employees of the Institution of higher learning shall participate in the election. Valery Pavlovich Мalahov was elected a rector of the Odesa Polytechnic Institute on alternative basis. V. P. Malahov defended the doctoral thesis, became a professor, academician of Academy of engineering sciences of Ukraine, President of the Odesa regional branch of Union of scientific and engineering associations of Ukraine. Twenty eight scientific production associations were part of that union. He was the member of bureau of the South scientific center of NAS of Ukraine. He formed the scientific school on a computer-aided electronic elements and hub of control system. The scientists not only in our country but also abroad knew the achievements of scientific school. V.P.Malahov created new universal classification of linear chains (networks) allowing not only simply to classify any set chart in the element base, but also to synthesize the different groups of charts within the framework of the structure chosen and also to carry out the synthesis of new and more expedient structures of linear chains. The importance of this classification consists in its deductive character that allowed to solve a problem that until now was considered unresolved, namely: to begin not only schematic computer-aided elements and hubs of control system but also to automatize the design process on the structures level. On this basis under the supervision of the V.P. Malahov his students (G.V.Maiko, Yu.A.Nikolayev, D.N.kelbasov and V.V. Martinenko and others) were the first in world practice to have developed the integrated and fully automatic projection system of analog charts, control system and computing engineering. In order to solve the issues of the day temporary team of researchers was created. Therefore, in 1987, three such teams operated in ОPI research section. Temporary creative teams of researchers as part of the Institute of organic chemistry of AS of UKRAINE and Odesa Polytechnic Institute (department of basic organic synthesis, scientific leader, professor I.A.Novohatskiy) developed a complex theme «Research of reactions of organic compounds with fourfluorine sulphur aimed at synthesis of new pesticides containing fluoride, medicinal substances and dyestaff». The temporary youth creative «Transsonic» team was organized to create and master fundamentally new devices of transsonic pumps-mixers allowing to improve technological processes on power and other industrial enterprises(regenerate in future in «Transsonic» engineering center, scientific leader is professor V.V. Fisenko). A temporary youth creative team based on the energy equipment department of NPS (a scientific leader is professor V.A.Gerliga) was formed to create, master and introduce fundamentally new de-aerating of vacuum type apparatus with the developed bubbling stage of enhanceable efficiency in the «Moldavenrgo», «Tatenergo» and «Denubeenergo» systems. The departments were created on the production. In 1987, there were 12, in 1988 – 18 departments. Therefore, the branches of department of industrial electronics were created at PF «Electronmach» and «Foodindustryautomatics» R&D production facility; branch of department of nuclear power plants - on Rivne NPS; branches of department of machines and technology of foundry - at «NIISL» R&D production facility at the «Tsentralit» Odesa foundry plant, branches of department of motor transport - at MTE 35127 and MTE 25154. During 70th anniversary the OPI scientists printed 10 monographs, one tutorial, 740 scientific papers published in the Soviet and foreign magazines. A total number of reports made by the employees of the Institute on scientific and technical conferences, symposiums, seminars, in 1988 made up 342, the employees submitted 290 requests on the supposed inventions, they were granted 290 affirmative decisions. The Odesa polytechnic Institute met its 75th anniversity in new quality. Institution of higher learning was certified on the higher fourth level of accreditation, with the Polytechnic University status being awarded to it. Now it is the Odesa State Polytechnic University. The University was granted autonomy to solve isssues of determination of education contents, to award scientific degrees, to independently create in the structure the educational establishments and scientific subdivisions of different types, to independently plan and develop searching and fundamental researches, to order all types of allocations. In order to improve the vocational orientation work among young people and the level of their preuniversity training the Odesa educational-scientific complex «The Polytechnic university» was created at OPU by the order of Department of Education for the first time in Ukraine that included Odesa school of metrology, Odesa electrical technical college of communication, Odesa automechanical collage, Odesa machine-building college, Odesa automobile engineering college, Odesa mechanical technological college, Odesa college of industrial automation and management, Izmail college of the manufacturing automation and Novokahovkiy electromechanical college. The Institute of preuniversity training is the basis of the complex. Today about 50 schools, colleges, gymnasia, lyceums, schools of Odesa, Odesa area and other cities of Ukraine are included in «The Polytechnic University» complex. Annually more than 70 % first-year students of university undergo the different forms of education at the Institute of pre-institute training within the framework of educational-scientific complex. Serious consideration was given to the equipment and retooling of laboratories of university with advanced equipment and devices. In 1988, «Concept of the computing engineering application was worked out in the educational process and scientific researches at ОPU» in compliance with which subsequent years systematic acquisition and updating of numerous computing facilities of university, introduction of the computing engineering in the educational process and scientific researches was carried out. In 1992, the local area network of university connected to the informative internetwork of Internet was created. In Internet, the university has its own website. In 1997, on the foundation of university the Regional center of national informative network of establishments of education and science was created. Concirning equipment and introduction of the computing engineering, the Odesa Polytechnic University occupies one of leading places among technical institutions of higher learning of Ukraine. Today there is not a single speciality in the university wherever graduating students would not get deep training on the computing engineering application for the solution of educational, scientific and professional tasks. Changed economic terms in the country demanded and constantly require the search of new decisions, new ways in organizing educational process, science, vital functions of university. Along with specialists’ training according to the state-guaranteed order, contract preparation appeared from own funds of individuals and businesses. Preparation of specialists for foreign countries was transfered fully on a contract basis. More intensive collaboration of faculties with the colleges and the enterprises demanded structural changes in the university. On the foundation of a number of faculties, the Institutes were created as part of the university. Today in the structure of university there are 6 institutes and 5 faculties: Institute of industrial technologies, design and management; Machine-building Institute; Institute of radio electronics and telecommunications; Institute of business, economy and information technologies; Power Institute; Institute of preinstitute preparation; Faculty of automation and computing engineering; Chemical-technological faculty; Faculty of automation and electrification of industry; Preparatory faculty for international students; distant engineering faculty. Responding to the requirements of labour market, the university modifies the list of specialities and specializations constantly. Over the past years, along with preparation of specialists in traditional field for Polytechnic Institute for basic industries of national economy, preparation was open on new specialities and specializations at the university: jeweller and art castings; dynamics and strength of machines; metrology and measuring technology, wheeled and caterpillar transport vehicles; ecology and environment protection; technology of pharmaceutical preparations; physics of kernel and elementary particles; unconventional energy sources; electric transport; communication equipment, broadcast and television; consumer electronics; CASS software ; informative sensor-based systems and technologies; applied mathematics; organizations management, management of foreign economic activity,etc. Today the preparation up to 47 specialities and specializations are underway in the University. Serious consideration in the University was given not only to profound professional training of graduating students but also to building up the personalities as citizens of the country. The scientific council of University ratified “The concept of humanitarian preparation of students by technical Institutions of higher learning” in 1991. Then that concept was practically ratified without changes by the Board of Department of Education as obligatory for all higher technical educational establishments. In accordance with Concept, new departments began to function in the University: histories and ethnographys of Ukraine, cultorology, philosophy and methodology of scientific and engineering activity, theory of the economic systems and economic relations, sociology and psychology. Concept provides for the study of unconventional disciplines for engineering institution of higher learning such as history of world and home culture, language and culture of speech, history of engineering business, philosophy of history, economic conformities to law of development of society, management psychology and history of Ukraine, ecology of biosphere and man, economic right and row other. In complience with concept, both lectures are delivered and practical and seminar studies are also held. For example, department of culturology headed by the doctor of study of art professor A.G.Bakanurskiy conducts many practical classes in theatres, museums, artistic galleries. Successes of university in organizing the educational process, science, preparation of specialists found permanent confirmation last years from the state and abroad. According to rating estimation among 182 state institutions of higher learning, which the International Personnel Academy accredited at UNESCO has been conducting since 1996 (an estimation is produced on the methodology worked out by the Institute of sociology at the National Academy of sciences of Ukraine) the Odesa Polytechnic University has been constantly among 20 institutions of higher learning of the country preparing the most skilled specialists. The international union of graduate students of the Soviet institutions of higher learning «Inkorvuz» presented in UNESCO a list from 10 higher educational establishments of the CIS in 1998 that provide the most quality preparation of specialists for the countries worldwide. The Odesa Polytechnic University is on this list. In previous years, financing of science was carried out mainly on commercial contracts. Today the budgetary financing is approximately 70 % from a volume and tends to increase. Therefore, within the framework of the state budget for research theme the department of dynamics, strength of machines and strength of materials (doctor of engineering sciences, professor A.F.Daschenko, scientific adviser) completed the work «Development of fundamental theoretical and experimental methods of obtaining qualitative machines tools (making it right the first time) of enhanceable durability and reliability by the detonation method». Theoretical researches of mechanisms of work hardening of tools surfaces were conducted by means of the detonation of coating deposition, mechanisms of cracks nucleation, their distributions and experimental researches of quality descriptions of wear-resistant coatings. The worked out methodologies of estimation of durability allowed carrying out the typeselection of coatings depending on operating conditions of model machines tools substantially promoting their wearability. Work was embeded at «Krayan» production facility (Odesa). At the department of technology of inorganics the theme entitled “Research-and-development of the stages of adsorption and crystallization in the production of coal ammonium salts (CAS) and the technological decisions aimed at increasing power of the single module in the CAS production” (doctor of engineering sciences, professor L.N.Ereizer , scientific adviser). Work is designed to enhance technology of CAS production, to construct mechanisms allowing extending the assortment of products and improving its quality. Hardware and software worked out by scientists and specialists of the University were included in the experimental equipment of “Interbol-1” spacecraft. In 1997, the University was granted two licenses by the State Committee for space researches on implementation of research works on space subjects. The national standard of Ukraine accredited regional laboratory in the University (under professor A.F.Daschenko) for radiometry, spectrometries, dosimetria, and «Ecology» test center (under the head of privat-professor V.A. Kishnevskiy). The scientists of the department of ecology and safety of production (doctor of engineering sciences and scientific adviser professor V.D.Gogunskiy,) completed the development of theme «Construction and optimization of the ecological monitoring of coastal sea waters». |
