The National Polytechnic University of Armenia ((アルメニア語:Հայաստանի ազգային պոլիտեխնիկական համալսարան), formerly ''State Engineering University of Armenia''), is a technical university located in Yerevan, Armenia. Established as the Yerevan Polytechnic Institute in 1933, it provides educational and research programs in various fields of technology and science related to engineering. Currently there are more than 10,000 students and more than 900 faculty members. ==General information== National Polytechnic University of Armenia is the legal successor of Yerevan Polytechnic Institute, which was founded in 1933 having only 2 faculties and 107 students. The institute grew along with the Republic’s industrialization pace and in 1980-1985 reached its peak with about 25 000 students and more than 65 majors, becoming the largest higher education institution in Armenia and one of the most advanced engineering schools in USSR. On November 29, 1991, the Yerevan Polytechnic Institute was reorganized and renamed State Engineering University of Armenia (SEUA). In 2005, by the Resolution of the RA Government the traditional name "Polytechnic" was returned to the University as an acronym. During 80 years of its existence, the University has given nearly 120 thousand graduates who have contributed greatly to the development of the industry forming once powerful engineering manpower and technology base of Armenia. At present SEUA has over 10 thousand students. The number of the regular academic staff of the University exceeds 900, most of them with Degrees of candidate or Doctor of Science. With its developed research system and infrastructure the University is nationally recognized as the leading center in technical sciences. Today the University in its central campus located in Yerevan and the Branch Campuses – in Gyumri, Vanadzor and Kapan, accomplishes 4 study programs of vocational, higher and post-higher professional education, conferring the qualification degree of junior specialist, bachelor, master and researcher. Besides the degree programs, the University also offers extended education courses by means of its faculties and a network of continuing education structures. The specialization scope of the university includes all the main areas of engineering and technologies represented by 43 Bachelor’s and 26 Master’s specializations in Engineering, Industrial Economics, Engineering Management and Applied Mathematics offered by the following faculties: * Chemical Technologies and Environmental Engineering * Electrical Engineering * Machine Building * Mining and Metallurgy * Cybernetics * Power Engineering * Radio Engineering and Communication Systems * Computer Systems and Informatics * Transportation Systems * Applied Mathematics * Mechanics and Machine Study * Correspondence Education * Foreign Students Faculty of Foreign Students is organizing the education of international students from across the Middle East, Asia and East Europe. Their overall number today is near 200. The majority are from Iran and Syria, others from Iraq, Lebanon, Georgia, Russia and Egypt. The instruction languages are Armenian and English, also Russian, if needed. A good example of SEUA productive cooperation with industrial partners is organized through the SEUA Interdepartmental Chair of Microelectronic Circuits and Systems, which operates in the premises of SYNOPSYS-Armenia CJSC. It prepares highly qualified specialists in the field of VLSI design and EDA who will meet the specific requirements of semiconductor and IT companies. The Research Division of the University involves a number of research laboratories and scientific groups that implement more than 45 research projects financed from the state budget as well as by different international grants. Hundreds of researchers, engineers and graduate students are committed to meet the industrial and scientific needs within their respective focus areas. Many of the projects underway at the SEUA laboratories are carried out in close collaboration with industries in Armenia and abroad. Special emphasis is put on faculty and student involvement in research activities – the University views it as the most efficient way to ensure the highest quality of teaching and to prepare industry-ready engineering graduates. The University has a leading role in the reformations of the higher education system in Armenia. SEUA was the first HEI in RA that introduced two and then three level higher education systems, implemented the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in harmony with the developments of the Bologna Process. During the last decade, the University has also developed an extended network of international cooperation including many leading Universities and research centers of the world. The University is a member of European University Association (EUA), Mediterranean Universities Network, Technical Universities Association, CIS Network Open University, Black sea Universities Network, is involved in many European and other international academic and research programs. The University aspires to become an institution, where the entrance and educational resources are accessible to diverse social and age groups of learners, to both local and international students, as well as to become an institution, which is guided by global prospective and moves toward internationalization and European integration of its educational and research systems. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Polytechnic University of Armenia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
