Department : Thermal Power Plants

The Department of Thermal Power Plants has been a cornerstone of our university since its establishment in 1946, initially named "Boiler and Thermal Power Installations." The foundation was laid by its first head, Associate Professor G.I. Dobkin, along with Associate Professor E.A. Kuzovnikova from the Ural Polytechnic Institute, and Senior Lecturer Y.P. Kuzmin. Over time, the department evolved into what is now known as the "Department of Thermal Power Plants."

From 1957 to 1976, the department was led by Professor A.M. Leonkov, a distinguished energy expert in the republic, who built a team of highly skilled educators. Today, the department offers comprehensive education and training for future engineers in three major specializations, detailed in the "Specializations" section.
