Demidovtseva. Thanks to the versatility of the curriculum, industrial design became the basis for the further development of the faculty in terms of organizing training in other design specialties, which made it possible to respond to the changing demands of the labor market.

In 1997, students were recruited for training in the specialty “Interior and Equipment”, and in 1999 – for the specialty “Graphic Design”.

In 1998, the faculty opened the specialty “Decorative and Applied Arts”, specialization – “Artistic wood processing”.

Faculty of Information and Technical Services

Dean of the Faculty of Information and Technical Services Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Ivanov Viktor Vasilievich

The Faculty of Information and Technical Services (FITS) was organized in 1984 on the basis of the Faculty of Mechanics and Radio Engineering.

The first graduation of students in specialty 0701 “Radio Engineering” took place in 1987. The first graduation of full-time students in specialties 2806 “Design of garments according to orders of the population” and 2804 “Manufacture and repair of knitted products according to orders of the population” took place in 1993. The first graduation of students in specialty 0569 “Machines and apparatus of light industry” took place in 1989.

Currently, FITS is a strong, dynamically developing department of the university. The main task of the faculty is to educate and prepare for the Volga region a new generation of modern-minded, educated and professionally trained young people who are able to accept the situation and be leaders.

• "Service of technical and technological systems"

Demidovtseva. Thanks to the versatility of the curriculum, industrial design became the basis for the further development of the faculty in terms of organizing training in other design specialties, which made it possible to respond to the changing demands of the labor market.

In 1997, students were recruited for training in the specialty “Interior and Equipment”, and in 1999 – for the specialty “Graphic Design”.

In 1998, the faculty opened the specialty “Decorative and Applied Arts”, specialization – “Artistic wood processing”.
