It is very difficult for young institute to survive during these years. Because it is state – subsidized and it has to organize some commercial structures in order to get money for buying everything necessary for studing.
In 1997 the institute got two buildings: the main one for academic purpose and a hostel. Originally there was only one faculty in our institute – industrial and civil construction and only two hundred students. Now there are five faculties, thirteen chairs a library, some laboratories, gyms one thousand and five hundred students in it. There faculties are: industrial and civil construction, heat and gas supply and ventilation, water supply and water leading, architecture and design, applied geodesy.
A lot of professors, doctors of science, assistant professors, candidates of science, experienced lectors train and teach students using know-how technology-through projecting and studing.
It means that each student fulfil his project up to the graduating from the institute only learning all academic subjects perfectly and using these knowledge and scientific research exactly and creatively. Every year in April almost all students of the institute take part in scientific technical conference with their research works and scientific reports.
Winners get diplomas and prizes. During the years of studing students get four diplomas – the worker after the first course, the technician after the third course, the bachelor after the forth course and the constructor-engineer after the fifth course.
The institute has got specialized tenth and eleventh classes for pupils who get primary knowledge of math’s and physics for engineers.
