Read the text for the basic information about the faculty.PHYSICAL ENGINEERING FACULTYThe Physical Engineering Faculty was set up in 1966.
The founding fathers of the faculty were Academician G.I. Budker, Director of the Instituteof Nuclear Physics (SB RAS), and Professor G.P. Lyshchinsky, Rector ofNovosibirsk Institute of Electrical Engineering. They were aware that it wasthe discoveries in physics that formed the basis of new technical development. They realized the urgent need of training specialists in engineering,electrophysics, semiconductors, dielectrics being capable of carrying outresearch work independently.At the very beginning the faculty headed by E.S.Samoilov, Candidate ofSciences, consisted of one department: the Department of ElectrophysicalInstallations and Accelerators with Professor E.A.
Abramyan being its firsthead. The faculty continued growing very intensively. Up to 1992 the faculty included 4 departments: the Department of Semiconductor Devices andMicroelectronics, the Department of Applied and Theoretical Physics, andthe Department of Fundamental Physics added to the first one – the Department of Electrophysical Installations and Accelerators.1992 is considered to be another landmark in the history of the faculty.115As a result of the university reorganization the faculty structure underwentfundamental changes too.
Firstly, it was reduced to two departments: theDepartment of Electrophysical Installations and Accelerators and the Department of Laser Systems. Secondly, two institutes of the Siberian Branch:the institutes of Nuclear Physics and Laser Physics became the basic institutes of the faculty. This fact was of great importance as from that time ontraining in these fields has been provided on the basis of the newest information and facilities of these two leading research centers.At present the faculty, headed by Professor A.K. Dmitriyev, Doctor ofPhysical-Mathematical Sciences, has four departments:– Applied and Theoretical Physics,– Optoinformation Technologies,– Electrophysical Installations and Accelerators,– Laser Systems.The teaching staff is highly experienced and qualified.
Among themthere are 53 Candidates of Sciences and 38 Doctors of Sciences. There arealso 24 Professors and 3 Honored Artists.The faculty introduced the multilevel system of education awardingB.Sc. degrees in the fields of physics, engineering physics, optotechnology,photonics and optoinformatics, innovations.Students are offered the following areas of specialization leading toM.Sc.
degrees in physics:– nucleus and elementary particles physics;– plasma physics;– accelerator physics.Some students choose the following areas of specialization with M.Sc.degree awarded:– optical systems of location,communication and data processing,– physics of optical phenomena.The faculty also trains highly qualified specialists (engineers) in the following fields:– laser systems in rocketry and astronautics;– optoelectronic devices and systems,– cameramanwork (this leads to the profession of a television cameraman).During the first two years students are given fundamental training in basic subjects: profound training in physics and mathematics, and knowledgeof the present-day methods of experimental research, methods and technical116facilities for automatic data processing and data collection.From the third year of study students of the faculty are given trainingboth at the university and the basic research institutes.
They are assigned anadviser and do supervised research. Students are involved in the researchteams at the institutes‟ laboratories. Their term and degree papers are included in the research programs of the institutes‟ laboratories.Many faculty graduates choose to continue their education and takepostgraduate courses leading to Candidate of Sciences degrees, successfullydefend their theses and join the staff of the INP and ILP (SB RAS) as wellas of other scientific and educational institutions or manufacturing enterprises of our country and abroad.Wide international relations of the SB RAS institutes, numerous research seminars and conferences, including those with the participation offoreign researchers, give students unique opportunities for professionalgrowth.Comprehension1.6.
