Transnistrian Technical Engineering Institute

The Transnistrian Technical Engineering Institute (Russian: Инженерно-технический институт, ИТИ; later renamed Физико-технический институт, ФТИ) is a state engineering education and research institution in Tiraspol, Transnistria, Moldova. It operates as a structural subdivision of Taras Shevchenko Transnistria State University (PSU). The institute traces its origins to the Engineering-Technical Faculty created in December 1990. In April 1997, the Technical College named after Yuri A. Gagarin merged with the Engineering-Technical Faculty. The faculty gained institute status in 2006. In 2023, the institute was reorganized into three faculties: the Faculty of Informatics and Computer Engineering, the Engineering-Technical Faculty, and the Physics and Mathematics Faculty, and was renamed the Physical-Technical Institute (FTI). The institute offers full-time and part-time education and serves students from Transnistria as well as from near and far abroad. It provides both state-funded and paid education. Its academic structure includes departments such as Automated Technologies and Industrial Complexes (ATPK), Information Technologies and Automated Control of Production Processes (ITU), Machine Science and Technological Equipment (MTO), Computer Software and Automated Systems, the Technical College (Secondary Vocational Education Faculty), Technological Processes and Apparatus (TPA), and Energy and Electrical Engineering. The institute employs over 80 teachers, including 4 doctors of science/professors, 20 candidates of science, and 18 associate professors. It maintains close ties with leading scientific and educational centers of the CIS, including MSTU STANKIN, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, the Moscow State Academy of Instrument Engineering and Informatics, and Lviv and Odessa Polytechnic Universities. The Technical College named after Yuri A. Gagarin, part of the institute, began on 2 October 1947 as a special craft school RU-1, later transformed into PTU-5. In 1961, PTU-5 was named after Yuri Gagarin. In 1972, it became a secondary school, and in 1972 it became SPTU-5. Cosmonauts V. F. Bykovsky and G. T. Beregovoy visited the school at various times. The college trains students according to Russian Federation standards, providing both vocational training and complete secondary education. It has workshops (turning, milling, locksmith, electrical), computer classes, and laboratories. All young men admitted to the Technical College (on the basis of 9 grades) receive deferment from military service. All students additionally undergo certification for the working profession of computer operator. The institute is located at 3300-MD, Tiraspol, ul. Vosstaniya, 2A. Phone: +373 (533) 9-57-59.
