Ivanovo State Power Engineering University

Ivanovo State Power Engineering University (Ивановский государственный энергетический университет) is a higher education institution in the city of Ivanovo, founded on 24 June 1930 on the basis of the mechanical engineering faculty of the Ivanovo-Voznesensk Polytechnic Institute. Until 1992, it was called the Ivanovo Power Engineering Institute. V. I. Lenin.

History
Ivanovo State Power Engineering University was founded on the basis of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty of the Ivanovo-Voznesensky Polytechnic Institute in 1930 and until 1992 was called the Ivanovo Power Engineering Institute. P. I. Plekhanov was the rector of the institute.

In the USSR
The Ivanovo-Voznesensk Polytechnic Institute was established in 1918 on the basis of the Riga Technical University evacuated to Ivanovo.

In 1931 Ya. F. Kedrov was appointed rector of the institute. At the same time, construction began on building "A" in the first Workers' settlement. In 1932, the institute came under the jurisdiction of the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry of the USSR. In 1933, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Thermal Engineering were founded, and F. E. Okhotnikov was appointed rector.

In 1934, the evening department of the institute was closed, and in 1935 the general technical faculty was opened. PS Borodynya was appointed Rector of the institute. By 1936, the teaching staff of the institute had doubled, and the number of students had grown by a third.

In 1937, the institute was headed by N.L. Spektor, he passed into the jurisdiction of the People's Commissariat of the Defense Industry. The structure of the institute was reorganized - the general technical faculty was closed, the heat engineering specialty was abolished, postgraduate studies were restored and a new specialty was introduced - "Power supply of industrial enterprises", the training lasted five years and two months.

In 1938, the institute was headed by A.N. Zverev, in the same year the Ivanovo Energy Institute celebrated its twentieth anniversary, in connection with which it was named after V.I. Lenin.

In January 1939, the institute was transferred to the People's Commissariat for the Shipbuilding Industry, and in the summer of the same year it was transferred to the People's Commissariat of Power Plants and the Electrical Industry. In 1939, G. K. Filonenko defended his first doctoral dissertation.

In 1941, F. I. Isaev was appointed rector of the institute, at the same time the construction of student dormitory No. 1 for 350 people was completed, and the training of students in the specialty “thermal power engineering” began again. At the beginning of the war, 330 teachers and students went to the front, hospitals were placed in half of the academic building and student dormitories, classes were held in two shifts, and the training period was reduced to three years and four months.

After the Great Patriotic War, with the development of the Soviet nuclear project, the Ivanovo Institute became the leading educational institution for training personnel for nuclear power plants under construction and operational personnel for the operation of nuclear power plants.

In Russian federation
In 1992, the Ivanovo Power Engineering Institute was given the status of a state technical university.

In 1993, the work of the Russian-German seminar "Reliability of energy systems" began.

In 1994, Ivanovo State Power Engineering University received a grant to conduct educational exchanges from the United States of America News Agency.

In 1997, a doctoral program was opened in the specialties "Electrical complexes and systems, including their control and regulation", "Automation of technological processes and production", "Computer-aided design systems".

In 2000, on the basis of the Ivanovo Machine-Building College (IvMT), the Machine-Building College of the Ivanovo State Power Engineering University was formed. In 2001, the faculty of advanced training of teachers was opened, the development of the university is in accordance with the principles of education quality management.

In 2005, a full-scale simulator of the power unit was donated to the Ivanovo State Power Engineering University by the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant, and an interfaculty training center was founded. Thanks to this, the structure of training specialists for the nuclear power industry at ISPU is consistent with the requirements for training operational personnel at nuclear power plants, and the training program is adapted to the training programs for VIUR, VIUT and complies with the requirements of NPP guidelines.

In 2007, a military training center was opened at the university to train officers of the signal troops serving under a contract.

Ratings
In 2014, the Expert RA agency included the university in the list of the best higher educational institutions of the Commonwealth of Independent States, where it was assigned the E rating class.
