Seriousness, the deepness of the approachand the quality of the academic programshave also led, year by year, to theacknowledgment of our professors andstudents performances abroad, in additionto the recognition of the engineer diplomaissued by the University POLITEHNICA ofBucharest.

The heritage left by our predecessorsdetermine the present academic communityto get involved in many scientific researchprograms and projects that confer it notonly appreciation and professionalreputation, but also the quality of itsteaching steps and the premise of itsparticipation in realizing an informationsociety within the higher educationEuropean space through knowledgecreation.

The engineering profession hascontinuously transformed and adapted tothe new demands of society, but being anengineer, one who knows and is able tomake life more comfortable has remainedunchanged.

Nowadays, it is inconceivable, that a personshould survive without all the things putnear at hand by an engineer. A place to live,every day food, the goods in our home,medicines and cosmetics, water, electricand thermal power, machines andequipments, communication means, cars orairplanes, as a matter of fact the wholematerial conception is the work and resultof an engineer's thinking.

U P BNIVERSITY OLITEHNICA OF UCHAREST

Short history

University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest(UPB) is the most important technical

university in Romania. Its traditions areconnected to the founding of the first highertechnical school in 1818 by GheorgheLazar. Born in Avrig, Gheorghe Lazarstudied in Sibiu, Cluj and Vienna.In 1817-1818 he endeavoured to convincethe local noblemen of the need forsupporting a modern national school in theRomanian Language.

Thus, on 24 March 1818, by a Royal Edict,the premises of Saint Sava Abbey wereconverted into the new school. Later, in1832 this school was reorganised,including four cycles, in accordance withthe provisions of Organic Ordinance.Among other faculties, the one dealing withexact sciences included courses such asapplied trigonometry, geodesy, mineralogy,engineering graphics, descriptive geometry,mechanical elements applied to ordinarymachines, principles of building roads andbridges, elements of architecture, etc. Thegraduates were obliged either to work forthree years for the state, or to return thegrant received.

In 1862, the ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza hadestablished by another Royal Decree a setof rules for the organisation of civilengineers, the hierarchy of engineers or

conductors, their salaries, the conditions foradmission and promotion, were clearlydefined.

An important figure in the „School ofBridges, Roads and Mines” was GheorgheDuca. As early as 1887, he analysed thecontent of courses, finding the weaknessesof the school, as well as the best solutionsto improve its academic level. In thosetimes, a substantial condition was theseverity imposed on the conduct ofstudents, in addition to evaluation. Studentsobtaining insufficient results, or having anerratic course attendance, were quicklyremoved from the school.

Indeed, at the beginning, the preparatoryyear had no admission tests. Starting with1881, an admission test had beenintroduced; the top priority was the qualityof candidates, the number of the selectedones being less important.

Gheorghe Duca tried and succeded to bringthe best professors to the „National Schoolof Bridges and Roads”; among them, weshould mention David Emanuel (ElementaryMathematics), Spiru Haret (Higher Algebraand Analytical Geometry), C.M. Mironescu(Statistics and Engineering Graphics),Constantin Istrati (Physics), or AnghelSaligny (Bridges and Roads). Moreover,Gheorghe Duca himself was considered the

greatest authority in railways at the end of19-th century.

This was perhaps a turning moment, whenit was clearly demonstrated that Romaniawas capable of achieving on its own whathad been deemed likely to be obtained onlyabroad, namely the training of highlyqualified science and engineeringspecialists.

The year 1890 also represented amomentous point, when at the NationalSchool of Bridges and Roads a newcommission was set up. Its main role wasto issue equivalency certificates for theengineering diplomas obtained abroad, thustransforming this national school into amodel for evaluating higher technicalstudies.

Nicolae Vasilescu-Karpen was appointeddirector of the School in February 1920. Asa direct result of his endeavours, thegovernement approved the establishment ofPolytechnic Schools in Romania, conceivedas higher education institutions, similar touniversities, having as their final aimengineering training under the Ministry ofPublic Works.

No surprise, the first Polytechnic Schoolwas set up by transforming the „NationalSchool of Bridges and Roads” into the„Polytechnic School of Bucharest”. In thisinitial stage it consisted in four sections:

a. Civil Engineering; b. Mechanics andElectricity;c. Mines and Metallurgy; d. The IndustrialSection.

In this period, in addition to the PolytechnicSchool, there were Institutes for Engineerswithin Universities. For instance, theUniversity of Bucharest hosted an institutefor electrical engineering, an institute forindustrial chemistry and another one foragricultural and food chemistry.

Another important corner stone was thedecree 3799 of 1938 stating that highereducation could be provided only byUniversities, Polytechnic Schools, orAcademies for Commercial Studies.

As a direct result, the Academy of HigherAgricultural Studies, The Academy ofArchitecture, The Institute of IndustrialChemistry and Agricultural and FoodChemistry, respectively, were introduced inthe frame of „Bucharest POLITEHNICA”.

The change of name from „PolytechnicSchool of Bucharest” into „POLITEHNICA ofBucharest” was accompanied by otherchanges as well. Thus, POLITEHNICAdepended on the Ministry of NationalEducation (instead of the Ministry for PublicWorks), the former director became Rectorof POLITEHNICA, the different sectionsbecame Faculties, their presidents in turn,became Deans etc.

Established in 1818

Between 1938 and 1948 POLITEHNICAof Bucharest had seven faculties: Civil

Engineering, Electromechanics, Metallurgy,Industrial Chemistry, Silviculture, Agronomyand Architecture.

Another important transformation tookplace in 1948, when several faculties oreven specialities became independent, oreven moved to other towns. So, a lot ofuniversities, institutes or faculties have theirroots in the old „POLITEHNICA ofBucharest”.

Thus, the following establishments, wereinitially faculties or departments atUniversity POLITEHNICA of Bucharest: TheUniversity for Civil Engineering Bucharest;Silviculture Faculty Brasov; The AgronomyInstitute Bucharest; The School of MinesPetrosani; The University for Gas and OilPloiesti; The Architecture InstituteBucharest; Faculty for Food ChemistryGalati; Faculty for Textile Industry Iasi.

The name for our school was „ThePolytechnic Institute of Buchatest”. Today, onthe resolution of the Senate (November1992), The Polytechnic Institute of Bucharestturned into University POLITEHNICA of

Bucharest, preserving the name„POLITEHNICA”, proudly used by generationsof students.

With more than 180 years of existence,UPB represents one of the fundamental andprestigious institutions of Romanian highereducation, being the main source for thetechnical specialists of Romania. Illustriouspersonalities such as Gogu Constantinescu,Elie Carafoli, Costin D. Nenitescu, knownworld-wide by the scientific community,were professors at the UniversityPOLITEHNICA of Bucharest.

Bucharest it is the greatest Romanian citywith a lot of extra curricular resources.

Romanian legend has it that the city ofBucharest was founded on the banks of theDambovita River by a shepherd namedBucur, whose name literarily means “joy.” Inthe 15th century, the princely court of VladTepes (thought to have been the inspirationfor Bram Stoker's Dracula) was establishedhere and by the end of the 17th century, thecity had become the capital of the provinceof Walachia. In 1862, Bucharest became thecapital of Romania.

Remodeled in the late 19th century byFrench and French-trained architects, thecity features large neoclassical buildings,fashionable parks, and even its very ownArc de Triomphe on the elegant SoseauaKiseleff, an avenue longer than the famedChamps-Elysees and home to the city'smansion district.

Bucharest is laden with historical charm –from the streets of the Old City Center, whichare slowly being restored, to the grandarchitecture of the Royal Palace and the lushgreen of Cismigiu Park. The city also claimsa large number of museums, art galleries,exquisite Orthodox churches and uniquearchitectural sites.

Why study in Bucharest? Old Historical Center of Bucharest

Perhaps the city’s unique charm can be best

observed in the area known as Lipscani,

which consists of a jumble of streets

between Calea Victoriei, Blvd. Bratianu, Blvd.

Regina Elisabeta and the Dambovita River. A

once-glamorous residential area, the old city

center is now slowly being refashioned into

an upscale neighborhood.

At the beginning of 1400s, most merchants

and craftsmen - Romanian, Austrian, Greek,

Bulgarian, Serbian, Armenian and Jewish -

established their stores and shops in this

section of the city. Soon, the area became

known as Lipscani, named for the many

German traders from Lipsca or Leiptzig.

Other streets took on the names of various

old craft communities and guilds, such as

Blanari (furriers), Covaci (blacksmiths),

Gabroveni (knife makers) and Cavafii Vechi

(shoe-makers).

The mix of nationalities and cultures is

reflected in the mishmash of architectural

styles, from baroque to neoclassical to art

nouveau.

Today, the area is home to many art

galleries, antique shops and coffeehouses.

Programming of research

The scientific research, traditionally, is

one of the components of the activity

that, without doubt, offered national and

international visibility and prestige to

University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest. It

represents the main process of knowledge

and innovation that makes possible the

dynamics of the essential values of the

education activities of our university.

That is why, the strategic orientations of

scientific research at all levels-

departments, research centers, faculties,

university- corresponds to the fields and the

specializations of the technical university

and post-university education present and

provisioned.

The general objective that we find in all the

long term strategies of the Senate of UPB

and of the Councils of faculties is

represented by the stimulation of science

progress, of technology and innovation in

Romania, for the raise of economic

attractiveness with an emphasis on the

continuous professional training, on the

improvement of the research infrastructure,

the articulation of major programs of

research, the promotion of organizational

excellence, the improvement of the social

life quality and of the public awareness of

CDI field in the context of European Union

accession and of the globalization, as

economic and social phenomenon.

The national priorities to which the CDI

activities from our university are

subordinated, through the conceived

strategies, address to the technologies of

the information society, energy, health,

environment, transportation and the

territory fitting out, security and food safety,

biotechnologies, the processes, the

products and materials, the fundamental

aspects of the social-economic life.

This is the reason for which we appreciate

that the research programming is integrated

within the national priorities, and the

accomplishments at national level are

significant. The Synthesis of research

Reports presented in the Senate of UPB

regarding the research activities in 2004,

2005, 2006, and the Reports to CNCFIS

regarding the financing indicator IC 6 in

2004, 2005, and 2006 which are presented

in the ANNEX constitute convincing

arguments of the research relevance on

national level.

The involvement of the university research

potential in accomplishing scientific

research projects with international

financing (PC 5 and 6, Leonardo da Vinci,

Marie Curie, NATO, PHARE, Erasmus,

COST, EUREKA, bilateral agreements, etc)

had the role of placing University

POLITEHNICA of Bucharest on the first

position in Romania as number of won

projects and also as attracted money. It is

enough to mention that the main fields of

the won projects in PC 6, for example (37

projects, out of which 5 as coordinators)

cover the entire 7 priorities of PC 6, with a

special accent on the information

technology, nanosciences -

nanotechnologies and special materials,

knowledge based society, energy-

environment and sustainable development.

The constant participation of our university

professors to ascertain the strategies

suitable to the research programs from

PNCD II and PNCD III and to the themes of

CNCSIS grants (within the commission of

Engineering Sciences) represents a

supplementary reason for the participation

at setting up the research strategies at

national level.

Carrying out research

The UPB research has human resources

- 1592 academic staff, out of which 520

professors and 340 readers, 258 doctoral

supervisors (at 2356 doctoral students), of

which 678 in the system with frequency, 47

permanently employees in research and

another 679 on determined period, creating

at the end of 2006 a total of 1902 person x

month- material resources (in the 62

chairs/departments and the 38 research

centers) that registered a significant raise

as a result of the bigger and bigger

resources attracted by the research

activities, of 58,6 million RON in 2006, and

by the financing obtained in the six

“platfor ms “of for mation-research.

Doubtlessly, the commissions for internal

endorsement brought their contribution in

improving the research reports; in a similar

manner, the Senate Council for Scientific

Research has oriented many research

endeavors towards multi-disciplinary

research, especially inter- and trans-

disciplinary ones (i.e. such efforts were

made on the above mentioned “platfor ms”).

The use of IT in all research activities has

been manifest, especially with regard to the

Valorization of research

The results regarding scientific research

have been analyzed by taking into account:

the financial resources involved; the value

demonstrated by publications; the number

of Ph.D. theses submitted; the use within

the socio-economic environment of the

results obtained.

Examining the financial resources

involved, we have monitored the dynamics

of total values (quite significant in 200 as

compared with 200 and especially 200 ),

but also the structure of expenditures,

focusing on expenses for investments.

With regard to the value demonstrated by

publications, we checked the papers

published in ISI journals or in indexed data

bases, books in print at international

publishing houses, the important treaties or

monographs, communications given at

significant international conferences in

every field.

Examining the Ph.D. theses submitted, it

was difficult to draw a clear-cut conclusion,

about whether the results obtained would

produce effects for the development of new

research areas, at least in a predictable

future, in the domain of Ph.D. supervisor.

d) University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest

consequently participated to National

research Fair. UPB has presented its

involvement in scientific research, in the

frame of FP6, in 2007 and FP7 in Brussels;

the concrete steps taken for making the

scientific park, meant to facilitate

technologic transfer, were also presented at

this event.

Young researchers, under 35, authors of ISIpapers have received prizes; the annualawards "Jn Tempore Oportuno" and "OperaOmnia" have stimulated research workersand increased the visibility of the university.

Sport and Ieisure

Sports is an active, formative, compen-sative and recreational component in thelearning-teaching process and brings itscontribution, by specific means, to theshaping of the students` personality andthe preserving of a healthy body and activemind`s condition of both students and staff.

Physical education is compulsory in theengineering curricula (during the first andsecond year). In this respect, UPB providesexcellent sporting opportunities for thestudents. There are two well-equippedSport Halls (in the „New Site” and in „Leu”Complex, respectively), eight tennis courtsand other facilities.

University POLITEHNICA has in itsadministration a number of 28 halls ofresidence, where a number of around11,500 students receive properaccommodation. The halls of residence aresituated in walking distance of theUniversity (the „New Site”).

Hostels and Canteens

On UPB camps there are also two studentcanteens, several snack bars, thus assuringthe catering, either on a whole month

Rewards for the best students

At the end of courses, based on the gradespreviously obtained during all years ofstudies, in a certain profile and/orspecialisation, the best graduate is declaredtop of his/her graduation class of aparticular section, receiving all the honoursfrom his/her colleagues, as well as animportant financial reward. The prizes areawarded in a special festivity organised bythe University Senate.

Each year, around 7000 Romanian studentstake advantage of a system of grantscovered by the state budget. The criteria forobtaining scholarships are basically theprofessional ones; however, some grantsare also awarded according to a socialprocedure.

Foreign students from EU benefit fromErasmus grants, while other overseasstudents often receive grants from theRomanian Ministry of Education, Researchand Youth.

The Power Engineering Faculty has beenfounded in 1950, being now the largest

in the country among other eight similarfaculties. During its half-century activity, thePower Engineering Faculty (PEF)continuously shaped its training system,according to the needs of modern powerengineering and to its environmental andeconomical aspects.

Active research programs, based onscientific co-operation contracts withspecialized industry units mark the activityof the teaching staff in the faculty. Thefaculty is equipped with research hardware

resources and the industrial laboratorieswithin the faculty give the students theopportunity of a direct contact with realinstallations. Among these facilities weshould mention the gas-fired CogenerationPower Plant, the High Voltage Laboratorywith outdoor test platform modeling life-sizeoverhead transmission lines of 110...750kVand the Laboratory of Hydraulic Machines.

At present, the total number ofundergraduate students is about 2000; also,in the last years PEF has awarded 22 PhD.For training purposes, lectures, applicationclasses, experimental work and designactivities are organized. In the last twodecades new laboratories have beenfounded in PEF, for teaching purposes,research work or industrial tests. Typicalexamples are: Industrial ThermalEquipment, Power Process Modeling,Hydraulic and Pneumatic Equipment.

The Romanian teaching in the fields ofElectronics and Telecommunications

began in 1920, within the former PolytechnicSchool of Bucharest. These subjects becamea new specialty, Telephony-Telegraphy, in1924, within the ElectromechanicalDepartment, and later evolved in the Electro-communication section (1929). In 1953, theFaculty of Electronics was founded as abranch of the Electromechanical Department,including sections of Electronics, Radio-communications and Telephony-Telegraphy.Two years later, the name was changed intoFaculty of Electronics andTelecommunications and in 2004 into thepresent one.The Faculty of Electronics andTelecommunications is situated in a 20000marea, within the Leu campus. The campusoffers modern facilities, easily accessible forall the students. The faculty is lodged in twobuildings situated in the center of thecampus. Other important buildings are: theStudent Accommodation Center, with about500 comfortable rooms, the Sports Hall, theMedical Center, three restaurants etc.The Faculty of Electronics andTelecommunications offers to itsundergraduate and graduate students aunique mixture of educational advantages.Senior faculty members, with outstandingresearch reputation, teach bothundergraduate and graduate courses in theareas of Electronics, Microelectronics,Computing Engineering and

Telecommunications.The courses are focused on the vocationalapplication of the acquired knowledge andare designed to meet the eduactionalrequirements of today’s high technologysociety.As a consequence of the strong links withRomania’s business environment, both ourmanagement and teaching stuff have becomeaware of the high level of the recruitmentdemands in today’s IT market. That is whyour main aim is to offer to our graduates abroad knowledge base, including not onlyskills in technology-based subjects, but alsorelevant economical and managerialbackground.

The Faculty for AgriculturalEngineering was set up in 1962, by

separation from the Faculty ofMechanical Engineering. However, thedevelopment in scientific and technicalpreoccupations made it necessary thechange of name (1995) into the Facultyfor Engineering of BiotechnicalSystems. The new name is justified bythe fact that besides higher education inthe field of machinery and equipmentfor agriculture and food processing, thestudents receive other knowledge aswell (installations for biotechnologies,equipment for environmentalprotection).

The Romanian contribution to pioneeringin Aviation is substantial and has a

worldwide recognition. Names as TraianVuia (first complete flight with on boardmeans, 1906), Henri Coanda (first jetengine used for propulsion in Aviation,1990) and Aurel Vlaicu (an original andinventive airplane with high performances,1910) are well known to the aviation world.

The higher education in aviation started in1928, when Prof. Elie Carafoli opened thefirst course on Aeronautics at thePolytechnic school in Bucharest. He alsobuilt the first wind tunnel in South-EasternEurope (1931), still in operation.

The specialization of Aviation existing atPolytechnic of Bucharest during the period1933-1971, became the Faculty ofAerospace Engineering in 1971, with 180-200 students entrance number per year.To become an aerospace engineer fouryears of study are required. A sixth year foradvanced studies is also provided.

The engineers trained in the Faculty ofAerospace Engineering of UniversityPOLITEHNICA of Bucharest are educated tobe open minded, able to adapt themselvesto any new technical and scientificrequirements, as well as to problems

related to engineering management,wherever they have to work.

Our graduate students have proved theircapabilities in the field of aviation, as wellas in the other industries related to finemechanics, environmental protection, windenergy, medical industry, computer aideddesign, industrial management etc.

and non-ferrous metallurgy in Romania.

Thus, soon after the coming out of the first

metal works in Banat, on January 23rd

1729 the first School of Mines and

Metallurgy was founded at Oravita, which

was transferred after 60 years in Resita.

The first independent course of Metallurgy

was introduced only in 1842 at Iasi. In our

university (former National School for

Roads and Bridges) engineering diplomas in

Metallurgy were conferred starting with

1881. Since 1920, the university has been

renamed Polytechnic School of Bucharest,

comprising four faculties including a

Metallurgy department. In 1948 the

Polytechnic School of Bucharest became

the Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest, the

Metallurgy department being preserved.

In 1990 the name of the faculty was

changed into the Faculty of Materials

Science and Engineering(FMSE).

FMSE offers programs of studies and

research for both undergraduate and

postgraduate students. The full-time student

body in the faculty amounts to about 1000.

The faculty adopted the credit system,

according to ECTS, starting with 1997-

1998 academic year.

The education in Mathematics andPhysics has been basic for the

training of Romanian higher technicalstaff during all its history in Bucharest,even since "Royal Academy of St. SAVA"(1694) and the first Romanian "HigherTechnical School" (1818). At the "St.SAVA College" (1832) one of the fouroffered curricula was in "Exact Sciences".The first experimental lab equipment ofPhysics and Chemistry and Geometricaland Mechanical Instruments were boughtin 1833 and the first Physics Laboratorywas created in 1850.

The present curricula have been offered:since 1955 - Engineering Physics -within the Faculty of Electronics andsince 1991 - Engineering Mathematics -within the Faculty of ElectricalEngineering. They have beencontinuously improved. Starting with1994, Advanced Study Programs in"Technical Physics", Fotonics", OpticalTechnologies", "Dynamical Systems,Differential Geometry and Optimization","Models in Decision Theory, Risk andForecasting" have been organized.
