Story
The birth and development of the Moscow Aviation Institute is closely connected with the needs of developing aviation, with the activities of Professor N. E. Zhukovsky, on whose initiative the course began in 1909 at the Imperial Moscow Technical School (now MSTU named after N. E. Bauman) theoretical foundations aeronautics.
On September 17, 1929, by order of the Supreme Economic Council of the USSR (No. 124), the aviation department of the mechanical faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical University was transformed into the aeromechanical faculty.
On March 20, 1930, on the basis of the Aeromechanical Faculty of the Moscow Higher Technical University, by order of the Supreme Council of National Economy of the USSR, the Higher Aeromechanical School (VAMU) was created.
On August 20, 1930, the Moscow Aviation Institute was created on the basis of VAMU. At first, classes were held on Olkhovskaya Street, then the university was given a building on 5th Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street. Back to top academic year(1930-1931) students from the aviation department of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute - 120 people - and the Tomsk Technological Institute - 19 people were transferred to VAMU. MAI, like VAMU, had three departments: aircraft manufacturing, engine building and aeronautics.
In 1930-1931, the structure of the institute was formed. The Aeronautical Faculty was renamed the Airship Building Faculty.
On September 22, 1932, by the decision of the Central Control Commission-RKI, the Moscow Airship Construction Institute was formed on the basis of the Airship Construction Faculty of the Moscow Aviation Institute, which, by decision of the Council People's Commissars On April 8, 1939, the USSR was reorganized into the Moscow Institute of Civil Air Fleet Engineers named after. K. E. Tsiolkovsky (Later Russian State Technological University named after K. E. Tsiolkovsky).
By 1933, the first own building of the institute was built (currently building No. 3 of the Faculty of Control Systems) at the fork of the Volokolamsk and Leningrad highways, where the main territory of the university is located to this day.
On March 10, 1933, the Faculty of Engineering and Economics of MAI was organized on the basis of the Moscow Aviation Engineering and Economics Institute (MAIEI) and the departments of production organization and concrete economics.
On December 16, 1935, by decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, the name was given people's commissar heavy industry Sergo Ordzhonikidze.
By the fall of 1941, the government decided to evacuate the institute to Alma-Ata. After the defeat of the Germans near Moscow, the question was raised about resuming the activities of the institute in Moscow, and already on February 2, 1942, educational process in the Moscow premises of the institute.
In 1945, the merits of the MAI team during the war were awarded a high government award - the Order of Lenin. In addition, 119 teachers, staff and students of the institute were awarded orders and medals.

MAI Laboratory
In 1945, a department of special (jet) engines was created at the Moscow Aviation Institute (head of the department is Professor N.V. Inozemtsev). With this, MAI began training specialists in air-jet and liquid-jet engines, and then in other rocket specialties.
In 1956, a group of MAI teachers went to Beijing to provide organizational and methodological assistance in the creation of the Beijing Aviation Institute (PAI), now renamed Beihang University (Beijing Aerospace University). MAI teachers have been conducting all types of training sessions at PAI for a number of years.

In 1956-1975, the second stage of construction of the MAI was carried out. The number of classroom buildings, educational and scientific laboratories, and production facilities was increased to 35. With the growth of the institute, its structure also changed, new faculties and departments were added. The result of this stage was the transformation of the aviation institute, previously focused mainly on aircraft and partially helicopter technology, into an aerospace polytechnic university, providing training for a wide range of scientific and design organizations in the aviation and rocket and space industries.
In 1959, the Department of Aircraft Design and Construction was created to train specialists in the field of rocket and space technology. From the moment of its organization until 1990, the department was headed by the first deputy chief designer S.P. Korolev, academician V.P. Mishin (MAI graduate in 1941). The department laid the foundation for extensive training of personnel for the rocket and space industry and served as the basis for the subsequent organization (1968) of the Aerospace Faculty.
In 1967, the first student design bureau for space technology in the USSR, Iskra, was created at the Department of Aircraft Design and Construction.
In 1970, in accordance with the intergovernmental agreement between the USSR and India (1966), MAI took part in the creation of the Faculty of Aviation Engineering at the Bombay Institute of Technology. More than 20 professors and teachers of MAI worked at BTI from 1970 to 1974.
On October 26, 1978, the first successful launch of a student artificial satellite Earth "Radio-2", created by SKB MAI "Iskra".
In 1980, for its great contribution to the training of specialists, in the year of its fiftieth anniversary, the institute was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.
In 1998, the Faculty of Foreign Languages was created, which trains public relations specialists and linguists for the aviation industry.
| Your university has made a significant contribution to the development national science, aviation and rocket and space industries. Over the past years, it has trained more than 140 thousand graduates, including famous scientists, astronauts, managers and leading engineers of aerospace and defense industry enterprises. Today, within the walls of the Moscow Aviation Institute, fundamental and applied research is conducted in a number of areas, including nanomaterials and nanotechnologies. The Institute has a modern technical base and unique infrastructure and is rightfully included in the number of national research universities. |
On March 31, 2015, by order of the Ministry of Education and Science, MAI was reorganized by merging MATI with it.
University today
MAI's mission is to train the world's elite engineering personnel through advanced research at all stages of the life cycle of aviation, rocket and space technology.
MAI has extensive connections with industry and is one of the most popular universities in the country in the field of training personnel for the Russian military-industrial complex.
A distinctive way of preparing students at MAI is to send them to specialized enterprises, where, under the guidance of industry specialists, they carry out specialized coursework and diploma projects, undergo all types of internships, for which the enterprises pay for their work and award additional scholarships. This helps students see their prospects in enterprises, and employers see the abilities of their future specialists. MAI has entered into agreements with more than 100 organizations for this type of training. University teachers also undergo internships at the enterprises.
MAI is implementing targeted recruitment in accordance with the state plan for training personnel with secondary vocational and higher education for organizations of the military-industrial complex (DIC) for 2016-2020 (Government Decree Russian Federation dated March 5, 2015 No. 192).
In 2015, MAI took first place among the most popular defense industry organizations subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, educational institutions countries.
Students are trained at the MAI based on the principle of end-to-end design of all systems of aviation, rocket and space technology. For this purpose, the university has created a unique laboratory base that corresponds to the modern level of industrial development. These are full-scale samples of equipment, including airplanes, helicopters, missiles, weapons systems, robotics, avionics and radar, wind tunnels, flight simulators, an industrial computed tomograph, an installation for fusing metal powder materials, a powder X-ray diffractometer, an experimental vacuum stand, a set of equipment for studying micro- and nanoparticles, the measuring complex of the laboratory for the creation of high-precision ultra-wideband radio systems and others.
On the basis of research laboratories, resource centers, design bureaus, students undergo training within the framework of UIRS, NIRS, and some of them participate in R&D. Defenses of diploma projects on the creation of aircraft were also organized.
Special profile subjects at MAI are taught by heads of industrial enterprises: M. A. Pogosyan, B. V. Obnosov, B. S. Aleshin, E. N. Kablov, V. A. Sorokin, S. Yu. Zheltov and others.
The Moscow Aviation Institute trains specialists for all Russian cosmodromes:
- "Baikonur" (Baikonur);
- "Plesetsk" (Mirny);
- “Eastern” (Tsiolkovsky).
In 2009, MAI concluded a tripartite agreement with Amur state university(AmSU) and the government of the Amur region on the training of specialists for the new Russian cosmodrome "Vostochny" in the specialty "Design, production and operation of rockets and rocket-space complexes." In January 2015, the first graduation of 23 students took place. Currently, 88 students from AmSU are studying at MAI under a tripartite agreement.
MAI implements additional educational programs of varying duration and focus (technical English, business foreign language). In addition, the faculty foreign languages MAI within the framework of the implemented educational programs for recent years completed aviation training English language more than 3,000 pilots and air traffic controllers civil aviation Russian Federation and CIS countries according to ICAO standards, flight attendants are also trained, qualification testing is carried out to determine the level of English language proficiency in accordance with the ICAO scale. Faculty specialists provide translation services.
International cooperation
MAI trains foreign students from 57 countries, including 10 CIS countries. The largest training contracts are concluded with countries Southeast Asia(Malaysia, Socialist Republic Vietnam, Republic of the Union of Myanmar, Republic of Korea, etc.), as well as with India, China, Algeria, Egypt, Mexico, Brazil, Angola. Many foreign MAI graduates occupy leadership positions in their countries. Currently, more than 1,500 foreign citizens are studying at MAI and its branches.
In September 2015, MAI opened a bachelor’s degree program in “Aircraft Engineering” in five profiles, within which foreign students study in English for four years. In addition, an agreement was signed with Nanjing University of Astronautics and Aeronautics, the largest university in China, on double degree programs.
The Moscow Aviation Institute takes an active part in international associations, such as:
- Engineering Education Initiative Worldwide (CDIO);
- Association of Technical Universities of Russia and China;
- European Association of Aerospace Universities PEGASUS;
- International Council for Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS);
- International Astronautical Federation (IAF).
MAI program “Scientific and pedagogical youth”
The university has developed and is implementing its own MAI personnel program “Scientific and Pedagogical Youth”, the goal of which is to saturate the university teaching staff with young scientists. The program includes sections: “Targeted postgraduate and doctoral studies” - organization and financing of the preparation of dissertations by graduate students and doctoral students who have entered into a civil agreement with the institute on additional funding for their postgraduate studies and work for 3-5 years after graduation as teachers ; “Qualification growth” - organization and financing of the preparation of dissertations by young employees of the institute; “Rejuvenation of teaching staff” - organization of systematic replacement of teaching staff with young scientists.
Career guidance work
MAI is underway career guidance work with schoolchildren in grades 5-11, which covers many schools and specialized technical schools in Moscow. According to approved curriculum MAI, in 38 basic schools, university teachers conduct additional classes in mathematics, physics and the Russian language.
The Moscow Aviation Institute (national research university) was among 13 metropolitan universities participating in educational project"Engineering class at a Moscow school." MAI implements additional professional programs for teaching staff engineering classes, conducts seminars for teachers and career guidance events for schoolchildren, including: master classes for students, excursions to engineering enterprises, implementation of elective courses.
MAI Employment Center
In order to facilitate the employment of graduates and the adaptation of students to the labor market, the MAI Employment Center has been operating at the university since 1996.
The center is part of the Association of Employment Centers of Moscow Universities and is the coordinating structure of the Association. The center's employees take an active part in the work of the Interuniversity Career Development Center, as well as in the work of the Employment Commission of the Council of University Rectors of Moscow and the Moscow Region. The MAI employment center database contains more than 200 employer companies interested in university graduates.
According to a survey conducted in 2015, over 70% of MAI graduates work at specialized enterprises in the aviation, rocket and space industries.

Alferyevo Aviation Training Base
A unique type of educational process is the flight operational practice of students, conducted since 1973 at the Aviation Center (near the village of Alferyevo, Volokolamsk region), which has an airfield, aircraft, qualified flight and technical personnel.
During a month of practice, students, first at the institute’s flight stands and then at the Aviation Center, learn the art of piloting aircraft. This allows future designers to become more familiar with the flight characteristics of aircraft.
This practice is not carried out in any other university in Russia or abroad. Over a 35-year period, it reached more than 3,500 students.
A lot of work on creating its methodology, organizing and conducting it was awarded a prize from the Government of the Russian Federation.
Ratings
In 2015, it was among 10 Russian universities in the top 200 of the international ranking for the quality of teaching Round University Ranking (RUR).
He told the Slovo portal about where and how graduates of the Moscow Aviation Institute work. Mikhail Yurievich Kuprikov, MAI Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Doctor technical sciences, professor.
- Please tell us how in demand MAI graduates are?
There are no MAI graduates on the labor exchange. MAI graduates are consumed by six corporations. Those who work on targeted orders, on targeted techniques, who teach basic departments. Tactical missile weapons, OAP, Russian Technologies, Roscosmos, everything that flies is MAI graduates. We are also preparing for the social sphere - we are preparing economists who will go into municipal administration. Medicov - engineering in biomedical problems. Therefore, in general, we are adapted to the needs of the regions.
- Are your graduates in demand abroad?
There are quite a lot of our employees abroad. We actually don’t cook “abroad”. But they are happy to go there. The trouble is that our enterprises are not able to compete with Western companies. We have quite striking examples of career advancements that took place in Western companies. For example, about a thousand of our graduates now work at Boeing, and there are many of our graduates at Airbus. Alexander Yarmonsky was the chief designer of the central section of the A350, working in the USA. There are some instances where you can show a successful career in Western scientific schools.
- Is it easy for graduates to find a job immediately after graduating from university?
The fact is that they start looking for work while they are still studying, during practice. They end up at their workplace somewhere else in their third year. Design, technological, pre-diploma practice. As a rule, career guidance work begins at this stage. Those who are suitable for this trajectory sign contracts for targeted training and go to these jobs. The practice was implemented very well with the Sukhoi Design Bureau. Most of the employees of the Sukhoi Design Bureau are graduates of the Moscow Aviation Institute. KB Mikoyan, across the street, they graduate with a diploma, and classes are held at the enterprise. We have about two dozen basic departments. Basic departments are an educational process carried out on the territory of the enterprise. Basic departments in TsAG and LII, TNDK Beriev, GosNias.
- By working at these enterprises, can you provide your family with a decent living?
Everything in the world is relative. There will always be enough for a piece of bread. It is very difficult to live in Moscow. The salary level specifically for a MAI graduate is from 20 to 100 thousand. There are those who get a job with a hundred thousand. It depends on the competencies that the person has. A person who speaks computer-aided design systems and English is in demand. If the engineer is the first higher education, parallel education in linguistics and still others have some kind of management or economic education - then he is in high demand on the market, and is attractive to Western companies. And if a person just received engineering education, he goes to the design bureau for forty thousand and then decides for himself whether forty thousand is enough for him to live with his family or not. So there is an incentive. And most importantly, we provide the opportunity for such growth, we provide the opportunity for these competencies. We have an institute of foreign languages. We purchased English language teaching licenses from Melbourne Technical University AirMid and we teach pilots and dispatchers English at the required level. This is a specific area of knowledge, no one teaches this. And it turned out that Australia is closer than any other European scientific school. We train pilots and dispatchers of Transaero, Siberia, Aeroflot, and Russia Airlines. Therefore, there is an opportunity for growth and self-realization. And then everyone decides for themselves what level they reach. The university must provide these opportunities and so far we have succeeded.
Our employers do not have enough graduate engineers. There are many more engineering programs than we produce engineers. We are given specific admission numbers - they are given by the Ministry, they are given by the employer, and these control numbers at graduation are sorted out by the same corporations - UAC, Russian Technologies, Tactical Missile Armaments, etc. But there are not enough graduates for the rest of the labor market. Therefore hunger arises.
- Are there any graduates who do not work in their specialty?
What does specialty mean? This name is very arbitrary. If he studied to design airplanes, and works as the owner of an airline, is this his specialty? This is about airplanes, but not design. I decided not to sit at the drawing board, but to operate airplanes. For example, Transaero is headed by our graduates. From a formal point of view, this is not a specialty. And from the point of view of human logic, they rose above their qualifications. Airline owners are not specially trained.
According to some teachers, there is such a problem - students do not want to study. Does your university have such a problem and how do you solve it?
There are different problems. If offered training courses, which are addictive and captivating, then students learn with pleasure. Let me give you an example. I am the head of the department engineering graphics. If you let them draw by hand, who will like it? It's hard, routine. And if you give computer graphics, animation, they sit and tinker with pleasure. When you look at the screenshots, it’s 4 am, 5 am. It is necessary to give those forms that are in demand today by the market, in demand by society and are in the trend of modern information technology.
Do you agree that the level of knowledge of applicants does not meet the requirements of the university?
The problem of fathers and sons has always existed. They will always say that earlier the preparation was better, deeper, further, smarter, etc. A new generation, new requirements, new tasks force us to develop. Nothing can be done about it. One of the forms is the Unified State Exam.
I would focus on something else. It is much more important that those admitted be able to survive their first year. In the first semester we are already expelling dozens of students. About 30% over five years is a deduction. In the first year, 10-15% goes toward expulsion. Then in senior courses there is another 2-3%. It's not so critical anymore. And the first and second semesters are the main task to retain. And how they were recruited - through the Unified State Exam or not - is completely unimportant. It is important whether a person can learn or not. Sometimes primary knowledge is not even so important, but rather learning skills. Tutors can teach you a lot about answer standards. It’s no secret that if you teach how to answer, you can get a completely acceptable result, even if the person does not understand anything about what he is answering. It is important to have the ability to learn.
It is important for MAI that the Unified State Exam in physics is not on the mandatory list. Because without physics it is impossible to teach an engineer. For us, this is critical, fundamental, and when students without physics come to engine or aircraft engineering, it’s a disaster. And there are fewer applicants with physics backgrounds than our admission benchmarks for engineering universities as a whole. Therefore, there is a fairly large deficit in this area. And when we put an exam in natural science instead of an exam in physics in order to make an extra choice, unfortunately, the level of competence of these applicants drops sharply.
Interviewed by Anna Volkova
Well, I’m from there, so is my husband and many, many friends!
Many work in their specialty, those who went by conviction, those work. Those who are behind the base also work, but not in their specialty.
There are a lot of old people about work and design bureaus, but there are also a lot of advantages here, since career growth in the long term good and... Personnel decide everything, but you will have to work a lot, participate in scientific competitions and start with a maximum of 30,000, but.. if you work, then...
Well, this is true everywhere. Well, you can go to Boeing, etc. the salaries are different there, but!! if as a student I went to the Boeing design bureau and closed my ilk with them.
Conclusion: The education is good, there is and will be a growing demand for specialists, getting a job in your specialty is not a problem, there is career growth, but... in a design bureau you have to work and be a slave to the system (secrecy)...
To Baumanka.
An acquaintance graduated from the second MAI tower now (a year ago) in aircraft construction. Sitting his pants on Khrunichev. He does all the work for the elderly team (writes some thick reports). There are options to get a job at Airbus or Boeing. But they mainly need draftsmen (Autocad).
So definitely Baumanka. Even if it's mechanical engineering IMHO. Baumanka is incomparably stronger than MAI in terms of teaching staff and students. There is something to strive for, there is someone to look up to and there are no freebies like in MAI, you will work hard and study! In general, I regret a little that I went to Moscow State University, and not to Baumanka to the department where my brother (IU) graduated. My parents graduated from rocket science, but due to the fact that there was a total decline in rocket science, in the 90s they retrained and do not work in their specialty.
Well..they don’t judge one by one... Draftsmen, by the way, are needed less than those aerodynamics specialists. As for freebies at MAI... very debatable. My husband doesn’t write reports and doesn’t sit his pants, maybe that’s the “secret”. And he has young guys under his command, so he often complains that they don’t need anything... they came... they served time and don’t strive anywhere... and not from the youth... he has Seryozha there, 40 years old, not married, lives with his mother and “whether it’s will or not... it’s all the same”
Everything depends on the person!
I called my husband...Here is his layout.
Monetary: applied mathematics 8th faculty
Generally in demand: aviation technology 1 faculty.
But everyone is in demand.
According to Boeing, they need hardeners.
If he goes to aerodynamics, joins my husband in the brigade for practice or work, they will always be happy))) there are not enough personnel! But it’s better to go to the 8th faculty!
About “the industry has withered away”... it has not withered away, on the contrary, it is developing and will not wither away... now according to the design bureau, work on the 6th generation is beginning.
It’s a pity, they don’t pay the same as in commerce, but “work with the soul.”
