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 at the Imperial Moscow Technical School (now MSTU named after N. E. Bauman) a course on the theoretical foundations of aeronautics began .

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 School was transformed into the aeronautical faculty.

On March 20, 1930, on the basis of the aeromechanical faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical School, the Higher Aeromechanical School (VAMU) was established by order of the USSR Supreme Economic Council.

On August 20, 1930, the Moscow Aviation Institute was established 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 of the aviation department of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute - 120 people - and Tomsk Technological Institute - 19 people were transferred to VAMU. As part of MAI, as well as in VAMU, there were three departments: aircraft building, engine building and aeronautics.

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

On September 22, 1932, by the decision of the Central Control Commission of the RCT, on the basis of the Airship Building Faculty of the MAI, the Moscow Airship Building Institute was formed, which, by the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of April 8, 1939, was reorganized into the Moscow Institute of Engineers of the Civil Air Fleet. 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 the 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 of the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry Sergo Ordzhonikidze was given.

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

In 1945, the merits of the MAI staff 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, the Department of Special (Jet) Engines was established at the MAI (Head of the Department, Professor N. V. Inozemtsev). With this, the MAI began training specialists in air-jet and liquid-propellant 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), currently renamed Beihang University (Beijing Aerospace University). MAI teachers have conducted all kinds of training sessions at PAI for a number of years.

In 1956-1975, the second stage of the MAI construction was carried out. The number of classroom buildings, educational and scientific laboratories, industrial premises was increased to 35. With the growth of the institute, its structure 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 that provides training for a wide range of scientific and design organizations in the aviation and rocket and space industries.

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

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

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 the MAI worked at the BTI from 1970 to 1974.

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

In 1980, for a 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 established, 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, he has trained more than 140 thousand graduates, including well-known scientists, cosmonauts, managers and leading engineers of aerospace and defense industries. Today, within the walls of the MAI, fundamental and applied research is being carried out in a number of areas, including nanomaterials and nanotechnologies. The Institute has a modern technical base and a 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, the MAI was reorganized by joining MATI to it.

University today

MAI's mission is to train the world's elite engineering staff through advanced research at all stages of the life cycle of aviation, rocket and space technology.

MAI has extensive ties with industry and is one of the most sought-after universities in the country in the field of training personnel for the Russian military-industrial complex.

A distinctive way of preparing students at MAI is to send them to specialized enterprises, where they, under the guidance of industry specialists, complete specialized course and diploma projects, undergo all types of internships, for which enterprises pay them for their work and appoint additional scholarships. This helps students to see their prospects in enterprises, and employers - the abilities of their future specialists. For this type of training, MAI has concluded agreements with more than 100 organizations. At the enterprises, the university teachers also undergo internships.

The MAI implements a targeted recruitment in accordance with the state plan for training personnel with secondary vocational and higher education for organizations of the military-industrial complex (DIC) for 2016-2020 (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated March 5, 2015 No. 192).

In 2015, MAI took first place among the most demanded organizations of the defense industry, subordinated to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, educational institutions of the country.

Training of students on the basis of MAI is carried out according to the principle of end-to-end design of all systems of aviation, rocket and space technology. For this, the university has created a unique laboratory base that corresponds to the current level of industrial development. These are full-scale models of equipment, including aircraft, helicopters, missiles, weapons systems, robotics, avionics and radar, wind tunnels, flight simulators, an industrial computed tomograph, an installation for fusion of metal powder materials, an X-ray powder diffractometer, an experimental vacuum stand, a set of equipment for studying micro- and nanoparticles, the measuring complex of the laboratory for the creation of high-precision ultra-wideband radio systems, and others.

On the basis of research laboratories, resource centers, design bureaus, students are trained in the framework of UIRS, NIRS, and some of them participate in R&D. The defense of diploma projects on the creation of aircraft was also organized.

Special specialized subjects at MAI are taught by heads of industrial enterprises: M. A. Pogosyan, B. V. Obnosov, B. S. Alyoshin, E. N. Kablov, V. A. Sorokin, S. Yu. Zheltov and others.

The Moscow Aviation Institute trains specialists for all Russian spaceports:

  • Baikonur (Baikonur);
  • Plesetsk (Mirny);
  • "Eastern" (Tsiolkovsky).

In 2009, MAI signed a tripartite agreement with the Amur State University (AMSU) and the government of the Amur Region on the training of specialists for the new Russian Vostochny cosmodrome in the specialty "Design, production and operation of rockets and rocket and space complexes." In January 2015, the first graduation of 23 students took place. Currently, 88 students from ASU are studying at MAI under a tripartite agreement.

MAI implements additional educational programs of various duration and focus (technical English, business foreign language). In addition, more than 3,000 pilots and air traffic controllers of civil aviation of the Russian Federation and CIS countries have been trained in aviation English in accordance with ICAO standards as part of ongoing educational programs within the framework of ongoing educational programs at the Faculty of Foreign Languages ​​of the MAI in recent years, and flight attendants are being trained, and qualification testing is being conducted to determine the level of proficiency. English in accordance with the ICAO scale. Faculty specialists provide translation services.

MAI trains foreign students from 57 countries, including 10 CIS countries. The largest training contracts were concluded with the countries of Southeast Asia (Malaysia, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Republic of the Unions of Myanmar, the Republic of Korea, etc.), as well as with India, China, Algeria, Egypt, Mexico, Brazil, Angola. Many foreign MAI graduates hold leadership positions in their countries. Currently, more than 1,500 foreign citizens are being trained at the MAI and its branches.

In September 2015, the MAI opened a bachelor's program in the direction of "Aircraft Engineering" in five profiles, within which foreign students study in English for four years. In addition, an agreement was signed with the Nanjing University of Astronautics and Aeronautics, the largest university in China, on double degree programs.

The Moscow Aviation Institute takes an active part in international associations, such as:

  • World Engineering Education Initiative (CDIO);
  • Association of Technical Universities of Russia and China;
  • European Association of Aerospace Universities PEGASUS;
  • International Council for Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS);
  • International Astronautical Federation (IAF).

MAI Program "Scientific and Pedagogical Youth"

The University has developed and is implementing its own personnel program of the MAI "Scientific and Pedagogical Youth", the purpose of which is to saturate the teaching staff of the University with young scientists. The program includes sections: “Targeted postgraduate and doctoral studies” - organization and financing of the preparation of dissertations by postgraduate and doctoral students who have concluded a civil law agreement with the institute on additional funding for their postgraduate studies and work for 3-5 years after graduation as teachers ; "Qualification growth" - organization and financing of the preparation of dissertations by young employees of the Institute; "Rejuvenation of teaching staff" - the organization of a systematic replacement of the teaching staff by young scientists.

Career guidance work

MAI is conducting career guidance work with schoolchildren in grades 5-11, which covers many schools and specialized technical schools in Moscow. According to the approved curricula of the MAI, in 38 basic schools, university teachers conduct additional classes in mathematics, physics and the Russian language.

The Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University) was among 13 metropolitan universities participating in the educational project "Engineering Class at the Moscow School". MAI implements additional professional programs for teaching staff of engineering classes, conducts seminars for teachers and career guidance events for schoolchildren, including: master classes for students, excursions to engineering enterprises, implementation of elective courses.

In general, the Moscow Aviation Institute has concluded more than 120 cooperation agreements in the field of scientific and innovative activities. In addition, the university is developing plans for joint activities with specialized Russian and foreign corporations and organizations, such as the State Corporation Roscosmos and Rostec, COMAC, Safran, etc. 2016 and beyond with PJSC "UAC".

The latest and unique equipment allows MAI to increase the volume of scientific research carried out in the interests of the largest enterprises in the aerospace industry, including international ones. Since 2009, the volume of investments in the re-equipment of the university has amounted to 1.7 billion rubles. On the basis of the university there are centers for collective use, resource centers, scientific and educational centers, design bureaus, an airfield and other units. Also, on the basis of MAI, a youth innovation zone is being created, which unites the Center for Startup Entrepreneurship and a business incubator.

MAI is the only university in the world that has a certificate of a light aircraft developer and a license for the development of aviation equipment. The university provides educational and scientific support for the serial production of aircraft.

The MAI has a training Mission Control Center (MCC) involved in the MAI-75, RadioSkaf and Shadow-Mayak experiments, which are part of a long-term program of scientific and applied research and experiments on board the Russian Segment of the ISS. MAI MCC equipment allows to control and receive data from various types of educational satellites.

Scientific journals "Bulletin of the Moscow Aviation Institute" and "Proceedings of the MAI", published by the Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University), are included by the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation in the new List of peer-reviewed scientific publications.

Innovative developments of the university receive a large number of awards at major international and all-Russian exhibitions, such as the International Aviation and Space Salon (MAKS), Vuzpromexpo, the Army forum, Open Innovations, the salon of inventions and innovative technologies Archimedes, HeliRussia and many other events. Within the framework of the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS, the Golden Wings competition is held annually. The competition is held among exhibitors of the air show - universities, enterprises, financial and public organizations - in four categories: "Premier MAKS", "Science", "Exposition" and "Business Program". In 2015 MAI won in the nomination “Science. Project". The university was presented with a statuette and a certificate of the winner signed by the Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia D. Manturov. This victory is not the first in the history of MAI's participation in the Golden Wings: before that, MAI became the best twice: in the "Event" and "Best Exposition" nominations.

The university is the base for holding major international scientific and technical conferences and events that reflect the development of the university as an important educational organization in the aerospace complex.

Training and aviation base "Alferevo"

A unique type of educational process is the flight-operational practice of students, which has been held 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 flight stands of the institute, and then at the Aviation Center, comprehend 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 and abroad. Over a 35-year period, it reached over 3,500 students.

A lot of work on the creation of its methodology, organization and implementation was awarded the prize of the Government of the Russian Federation.

Ratings

In 2015, among 10 Russian universities, it was in the top 200 of the international ranking for the quality of teaching Round University Ranking (RUR).

Mayovsky Dictionary In this glossary (in alphabetical order) only Mayov specific expressions, terms, place names, etc. Common student jargon (e.g., tail, colloc, laba, banana, fak(faculty), academy etc.) are not affected for obvious reasons.
  • Most of the names below are reflected on the plan of the MAI and the surrounding area.
  • How this or that building of the MAI looks like, you can see in the photo album.
  • Do you have any comments or additions? .
  1. slider
    The so-called bypass sheet. After defending the diploma, the student is given a special form in which it is necessary to receive marks from various departments of the Moscow Aviation Institute (that he was discharged from the hostel, that he handed over all the books to the library, etc.).
    The “runner” got its name because in order to fill it “from and to” and get everything ( all!) signatures and seals, you have to pretty much run around the institute (you usually manage to turn the whole procedure on the second attempt). Only having a properly completed bypass sheet on hand, it is possible to get the actual "crust" (diploma of graduation from the MAI).
  2. "Icarus"

  3. KDP
    Diploma design office.

  4. Capricorn
    Or simply goats. Mayovets freshman. The name arose shortly after the founding of the MAI. It is customary to associate its origin with a detail of the appearance of a real ibex (Most often, an ibex is called an alpine goat, lat. Capra ibex.) with a very short tail. We can say that the ibex has almost no tail. The parallel is obvious: in principle, a freshman (at least until the first session) cannot have “tails”. They jokingly say about capricorns that they do not have tails yet, and their horns have not yet been broken off.
    In the second year, the Mayovian becomes chief capricorn or senior goat.
  5. Box

  9. Flying saucer
    The area near the trolleybus and tram stops "Aviation and Food Institutes". The name reflects the proximity of two universities: "plate" food (see. Pischaga), "flying" aviation. Oddly enough, the nearby Stroganovka (aka Befstroganovka, MHPU named after S. G. Stroganov) is not mentioned in Mayevsky folklore.

  10. Misha Kvakin's shop
    Named after the ataman of a gang of petty hooligans from the story “Timur and his team” by Arkady Gaidar (According to other sources, this store was founded by Mikhail Kvakin, the namesake of the hero of Gaidar’s story, possibly a student at MAI.) predominantly beer and related products. The name "Misha Kvakin's Store" in the late 1980s and early 1990s. it was even written on a plywood board in one of the showcases. The store has moved and changed owners several times.
  11. Mayovets
    Student or graduate of MAI. (Attention! Term "mayshnik" must not be used!)

(It is interesting that the institution originally opened in the same year and month when a military coup took place in Chile, as a result of which General Augusto Pinochet came to power in the country.) "The Seagull" cinema, until the early 1980s. located across the road at 14 Volokolamskoye shosse, where the Seventh Luza billiard club-bar was later opened (closed in 2006).
    According to another version, "PINCHET" stands for " P donkey and institute n a about setting H aika e st t points".
    There is also an opinion that the decoding sounds like this: Pi obvious on the against even top faculty".

From the beginning of the 1970s to 1985, it was located at Volokolamskoye sh., 3, just opposite the MAI (more precisely, opposite the fifth building). And to this day in this house in the same place, replacing each other, there are inexpensive zucchini.
  16. suction
    The name is consonant with the abbreviation "PSSO", which means "Permanent student construction team", a kind of Mayevsky construction battalion. Students who study the same course repeatedly (recovered, returned from academic leave) are required to work a certain number of hours in the ranks of this institute unit. Typical occupations of a sucker are cleaning the territory, washing floors and walls in buildings, and other low-intellectual and menial work. In fact, the phrase “was a year in suction”, “went into suction (for suction)”, means “remained for re-training”.
  17. Float
    He is the Academic badge of MAI. A badge in the shape of a rhombus, issued upon graduation. The name was given for the shape, somewhat reminiscent of a float.
  18. Sheet
    Notice of admission to the MAI. A5 sheet with a photo of yesterday's applicant, and now capricorn(see), and seal. Serves as a temporary pass to the institute. Subsequently, it is exchanged for an annual pass, and even that one (after the third year) for a permanent perpetual one.
  19. Prophylac
    It is also a sanatorium. Located in Tsarevka(cm.). Formally, it is a medical and preventive institution, where any MAI student who wants to improve his health can go for a month. In fact, the result of being in profilak is just the opposite: drinking with friends every day, the opportunity for Muscovite students to live the life of a hostel for a month, without parents, with all the ensuing consequences.
    To get a ticket to profilak, you should submit an application to the trade union bureau of your faculty.
  20. ritual square
