History

The institution was established as Pedagogical-Technical Faculty with the assignment of developing teachers of mechanical and electrical engineering, and technical education.

The Faculty was founded on 8 November 1975. In 1982, the Faculty extended the field of its activity by the admission of graduates to BSc in Mechanical and Electrical engineering. Since 1986, the Faculty has been operating under the name of Technical Faculty, and has pursued its work under the name ever since. The studies that were held at the Faculty were: Electrical Engineering (Industrial Energetics), Electrical Engineering (Power Systems), Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Technical Education. In 1998, the Post-Secondary School of Technical Education dissociated from the Faculty.

Because of the significance of computing and informatics in the modern world, and their close relation to other technical fields, new teaching groups were introduced into the teaching program of the Technical Faculty in academic year 1992–93. The studies leading to the following degrees were introduced: Electrical Engineering (Mechatronics) and Technics and Informatics. This was particularly justified in the academic year 1998-99 by introduction of the Section that gave graduate students with the title of: BS'c in Computer Engineering and BA in Industrial Management were introduced.

On October 15, 2012, the faculty officially changed its name to Faculty of Technical Sciences. The name changing was followed by a significant increase in the activities of this higher education institution as well as expanding the spectrum in the field of scientific research.[2]

To the present day, the faculty has accomplished significant results in the field of education, which has been its principal activity. About 3,100 students have graduated from the Faculty so far.
