Story

The birth and development of the Moscow Aviation Institute is closely connected with the needs of developing aviation, with the activities of Professor N. E. Zhukovsky, on whose initiative in 1909 a course on the theoretical foundations of aeronautics began at the Imperial Moscow Technical School (now MSTU named after N. E. Bauman) .

On September 17, 1929, by order of the Supreme Economic Council of the USSR (No. 124), the aviation department of the mechanical faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical University was transformed into the aeromechanical faculty.

On March 20, 1930, on the basis of the Aeromechanical Faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical University, by order of the Supreme Council of National Economy of the USSR, the Higher Aeromechanical School (VAMU) was created.

On August 20, 1930, the Moscow Aviation Institute was created on the basis of VAMU. At first, classes were held on Olkhovskaya Street, then the university was given a building on 5th Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street. By the beginning of the academic year (1930-1931), students from the aviation department of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute - 120 people - and the Tomsk Technological Institute - 19 people were transferred to VAMU. MAI, like VAMU, had three departments: aircraft manufacturing, engine building and aeronautics.

In 1930-1931, the structure of the institute was formed. The Aeronautical Faculty was renamed the Airship Building Faculty.

On September 22, 1932, by the decision of the Central Control Commission-RKI, on the basis of the Airship Construction Faculty of the Moscow Aviation Institute, the Moscow Airship Construction Institute was formed, which, by the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR on April 8, 1939, was reorganized into the Moscow Institute of Civil Air Fleet Engineers named after. K. E. Tsiolkovsky (Later Russian State Technological University named after K. E. Tsiolkovsky).

By 1933, the first own building of the institute was built (currently building No. 3 of the Faculty of Control Systems) at the fork of the Volokolamsk and Leningrad highways, where the main territory of the university is located to this day.

On March 10, 1933, the Faculty of Engineering and Economics of MAI was organized on the basis of the Moscow Aviation Engineering and Economics Institute (MAIEI) and the departments of production organization and concrete economics.

On December 16, 1935, by decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, the name was given to the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry Sergo Ordzhonikidze.

By the fall of 1941, the government decided to evacuate the institute to Alma-Ata. After the defeat of the Germans near Moscow, the question was raised about resuming the activities of the institute in Moscow, and already on February 2, 1942, the educational process began in the Moscow premises of the institute.

In 1945, the merits of the MAI team during the war were awarded a high government award - the Order of Lenin. In addition, 119 teachers, staff and students of the institute were awarded orders and medals.

MAI Laboratory

In 1945, a department of special (jet) engines was created at the Moscow Aviation Institute (head of the department is Professor N.V. Inozemtsev). With this, the MAI began training specialists in air-jet and liquid-jet engines, and then in other rocket specialties.

In 1956, a group of MAI teachers went to Beijing to provide organizational and methodological assistance in the creation of the Beijing Aviation Institute (PAI), now renamed Beihang University (Beijing Aerospace University). MAI teachers have been conducting all types of training sessions at PAI for a number of years.

In 1956-1975, the second stage of construction of the MAI was carried out. The number of classroom buildings, educational and scientific laboratories, and production facilities was increased to 35. With the growth of the institute, its structure also changed, new faculties and departments were added. The result of this stage was the transformation of the aviation institute, previously focused mainly on aircraft and partially helicopter technology, into an aerospace polytechnic university, providing training for a wide range of scientific and design organizations in the aviation and rocket and space industries.

In 1959, the Department of Aircraft Design and Construction was created to train specialists in the field of rocket and space technology. From the moment of its organization until 1990, the department was headed by the first deputy chief designer S.P. Korolev, academician V.P. Mishin (MAI graduate 1941). The department laid the foundation for extensive training of personnel for the rocket and space industry and served as the basis for the subsequent organization (1968) of the Aerospace Faculty.

In 1967, the first student design bureau for space technology in the USSR, Iskra, was created at the Department of Aircraft Design and Construction.

In 1970, in accordance with the intergovernmental agreement between the USSR and India (1966), MAI took part in the creation of the Faculty of Aviation Engineering at the Bombay Institute of Technology. More than 20 professors and teachers of MAI worked at BTI from 1970 to 1974.

On October 26, 1978, the first successful launch of the student artificial Earth satellite “Radio-2”, created by the SKB MAI “Iskra”, was carried out in the Soviet Union.

In 1980, for its great contribution to the training of specialists, in the year of its fiftieth anniversary, the institute was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.

In 1998, the Faculty of Foreign Languages ​​was created, which trains public relations specialists and linguists for the aviation industry.

Your university has made a significant contribution to the development of domestic science, aviation and rocket and space industries. Over the past years, it has trained more than 140 thousand graduates, including famous scientists, astronauts, managers and leading engineers of aerospace and defense industry enterprises. Today, within the walls of the Moscow Aviation Institute, fundamental and applied research is conducted in a number of areas, including nanomaterials and nanotechnologies. The Institute has a modern technical base and unique infrastructure and is rightfully included in the number of national research universities.

On March 31, 2015, by order of the Ministry of Education and Science, MAI was reorganized by merging MATI with it.

Alferyevo Aviation Training Base

A unique type of educational process is the flight operational practice of students, carried out since 1973 at the Aviation Center (near the village of Alferyevo, Volokolamsk region), which has an airfield, aircraft, qualified flight and technical personnel.

During a month of practice, students, first at the institute’s flight stands and then at the Aviation Center, learn the art of piloting aircraft. This allows future designers to become more familiar with the flight characteristics of aircraft.

This practice is not carried out in any other university in Russia or abroad. Over a 35-year period, it reached more than 3,500 students.

A lot of work on creating its methodology, organizing and conducting it was awarded a prize from the Government of the Russian Federation.

I entered MAI in 2009.

In our specialty “systems engineering” there were two groups, a total of 35 people. I failed the first session, losing my scholarship, but then everything went as it should, and I never made such a terrible mistake again. The teachers are mostly young, 30-40 years old. Regarding their attitude towards students - mostly positive (if the students treat them well), but there were a couple of rare freaks for whom no one could pass the laboratory and constantly...

It was interesting to go to college. Lots of new experiences, new relationships. I graduated from school with a physics and mathematics specialization. Therefore, the process and content of the entrance exams did not pose any particular difficulties. But this does not mean that everything was simple. The competition was four people per place; it was higher only at Moscow State University (5). And, of course, excitement, not knowing what’s next.

This was the heyday of the Soviet era. And, engineers, designers (aviation and space) are the most respected specialists. ...

University Reviews

The best financial universities in Russia according to the magazine "FINANCE". The rating is based on data on the education of financial directors of large enterprises.

TOP-10 largest universities in Moscow by the number of students from monitoring the effectiveness of educational organizations of higher education by the Ministry of Education and Science in 2016.

About MAI

The Moscow Aviation Institute was founded back in 1930. Its goal was to train the most highly qualified specialists who could work in the Russian aviation industry. In 2009, MAI became the winner among 12 universities of the Russian Federation that participated in the competition for university development programs and, by order of the Russian government, it was awarded the honorary category “National Research University.”

Education at MAI

At the moment, at MAI you can get a higher education as a designer and designer of the widest profile for enterprises in the rocket, space, defense and aviation industries. Enterprises in the aerospace and defense industries are now in dire need of highly qualified specialists, so MAI graduates will always be in demand and can count on a successful career.

Now at MAI and its four branches - “Vzlyot” in the city of Akhtubinsk, Astrakhan region, “Rocket and space technology” in the city of Khimki, Moscow region, “Strela” in the city of Zhukovsky, Moscow region and “Voskhod” in the city of Baikonur, Republic of Kazakhstan - students study about 20,000 students in various forms of education.

At the institute you can get education in 33 areas of bachelor's training, 12 master's areas and 9 specialties that are in demand in the modern labor market. In addition, at MAI you can receive postgraduate education in 50 specialties in order to broaden your horizons and keep abreast of the latest technical developments in the field of aviation and the defense industry.

MAI also offers the opportunity to obtain a second higher education. Students can receive a second education either after graduation or simultaneously with their first education. Thus, upon graduation from MAI, students receive two diplomas at a time, which significantly increases their competitiveness in the labor market.

MAI graduates

Since the founding of the institute, about 160 thousand specialists for both the rocketry and aviation industries have graduated from MAI with higher education. Among the graduates of the institute:

  • 250 chief and general designers, as well as several heads of research programs and design organizations in the field of aviation;
  • 50 academicians and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences;
  • 21 pilot-cosmonauts, each of whom has been in outer space;
  • Elena Serova, a graduate of the Moscow Aviation Institute, is included in the crew of the International Space Station, whose departure is scheduled to take place in the second half of 2014;
  • 100 pilots who test aircraft equipment;
  • many Heroes of Russia and the USSR and honored test pilots.

Thanks to the active development of sports at the institute, about 60 European and world Olympic champions in a variety of sports were trained at MAI.

Employment of MAI graduates

In order to employ its graduates and adapt them to the modern labor market, in 1996 an Employment Center was created on the territory of Moscow Aviation Institute, which is part of the Association of Employment Centers of Moscow Universities. The center's database is constantly updated by employers who are interested in MAI graduates, and at the moment there are already more than 200 such enterprises.

For university students, every year an “Aerospace Forum” is held, which includes a “Job Fair”, where students can see what specialties are now in demand and what qualities are especially valued by employers. MAI also conducts seminars on successful employment and career building, where students are told in detail about how best to present their best qualities to a future employer in order to get the desired job, and then how to prove themselves in order to quickly make a brilliant career.

After graduating its students, the MAI Employment Center conducts research on their demand in the labor market. This monitoring showed that about 10,000 university graduates successfully work at enterprises of Roscosmos, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and other state corporations, which indicates that they received excellent knowledge at the institute and were able to use it in their practical activities.

Scientific activities at MAI

At the moment, the institute is implementing the “Scientific and Pedagogical Youth” program. As part of this program, 42 graduate students were accepted into the MAI graduate school, who must write and defend a dissertation before graduating from graduate school, and after that work at the institute for 3 years as teachers. If at the end of this period they do not want to leave MAI, they can continue to work there.

About 3,000 students are engaged in research activities at MAI, who participate in:

  • student design bureau of aviation modeling;
  • student design bureau of experimental aircraft, where the creation of sports and very light aircraft is being developed;
  • student helicopter design bureau, where remotely piloted small-sized aircraft are developed.

By participating in such research, students can communicate more closely with the professors and teaching staff of the institute, and therefore delve deeper into the essence of their future profession. Moreover, students who successfully engage in science receive personalized scholarships and prizes, and for participation in competitions and exhibitions - medals and diplomas, which will then increase their competitiveness in the labor market.

Applicant to this university: This year I graduated from school, and I was faced with a choice between universities for further education.
Since I am not from a very rich family, I only considered the option of going on a budget. After studying physics and mathematics, in addition to the main exams, I took the Unified State Exam in physics and a specialized exam in mathematics. My plans were to enter a specialty related to astronautics, astronomy or astrophysics.
I had to choose between RUDN University and Moscow Aviation Institute. Unfortunately for me, I chose the greater of two evils. I entered the Aerospace Faculty of the Moscow Aviation Institute on a budget, although I also entered the physics department of the RUDN University. I preferred MAI because of its location (it was geographically convenient)
All my misadventures began when I got to know the MAI administration better. In anticipation of the start of the school year, I needed to know where and when the freshman meeting would be held. Since the institute’s very inconvenient website periodically does not work, I had to call the admissions office, which was extremely easy. The not quite adequate secretary answered me. From her I heard a sea of ​​unfounded claims against me, but I still achieved my goal. True, this dialogue made me doubt the correctness of my decision. The place of ambition has become somewhat dulled.
The freshmen meeting also made an indelible impression on me. Almost immediately they stated that a meager, pitiful scholarship of 1,500 rubles without commission could therefore only be obtained at the commercial(!) SDM Bank. We, one might say, were immediately forbidden to look for any work. At the same time, the question of how one can exist on a scholarship that is impossible to obtain remains unanswered. At the meeting, I also learned that every year students undergo a medical examination and not only where, but in the institute’s clinic. The fact that it may be inconvenient for you to go there every time it’s wildly busy doesn’t bother anyone.
Of all the subjects, greater priority is given to physical education (2-3 pairs of one physical education class per week).
Immediately after the meeting we were expected to communicate with the curators. They, as experienced people, warned us that it is not worth complaining about teachers who like to skip classes - “it may cost you more.” The curators also told us that in the process of reducing the size of the group, by the last year the remaining students would probably be transferred to another, as a result of which they would receive a diploma in a specialty other than the one they originally wanted. We learned that even at the very beginning of training, the money issue arises acutely. For each book taken from the institute library, you must pay a deposit of 100 rubles. Maybe this is a small amount, but given the fact that under the constant pressure of teachers, “who also want to eat,” you will have to buy their essentially unnecessary manuals more than once, during your entire study you will have to fork out quite a bit.
Perhaps the conversation with the curators was the last straw. I firmly decided to pick up the documents. But I couldn’t do this without incident. I managed to get through to the admissions office again with a drumbeat. I was told where and on what day I should go to get my documents. The guards at the checkpoint did not want to let me and my mother through. When we got to the dean's office, we were faced with absolute, total destruction reigning within its walls. You will not be able to find the markings of floor and classroom numbers here. Having spent a lot of effort and wasted more than one hour of time, I found out the treasured information about where my documents actually are. As it turned out, I also needed to write a letter of resignation. When everything was ready, the administration needed to make sure that my parents knew about my decision. Simply put, they had to give their consent. The fact that they didn’t tell me on the phone that one of my parents should be with me once again proves the carelessness and indifference towards the people of this institute. As a result, the administration’s attitude towards applicants can easily be called boorish, unresponsive, and disregardful. The level of hypocrisy in all employees is simply off the charts. Their sky-high self-esteem does not allow them to see the obvious.
Don’t repeat my mistake; before enrolling, carefully study the reviews of applicants and students regarding the university of your dreams!
