In 1813 the scholar Gheorghe Asachi set up the first centre for technical education taught in Romanian, beginning with a civil engineering class which was later developed within the Michaelian Academy (1835) and The "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University in Iaşi. The "Gheorghe Asachi" ("Gh. Asachi" for short) Polytechnic Institute of Iaşi was founded in 1937 as a separate institution, drawing together a number of engineering departments in an institution independent of the Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iaşi.
