Université technique Gheorghe Asachi de Iași

Résumé
The Gheorghe Asachi Technical University (Universitatea Tehnică „Gheorghe Asachi” din Iași; acronym: TUIASI) is a public university located in Iași, Iași County, Western Moldavia, Romania. Classified by the Ministry of Education as an advanced research and education university, it has the oldest tradition in Romania in engineering education. Gheorghe Asachi Technical University is a member of the Romanian Alliance of Technical Universities (ARUT). In 1813, the scholar Gheorghe Asachi set up within the Princely Academy of Iași, the first Romanian language higher education courses, as the School of Surveying and Civil Engineers (Școala de Ingineri Hotarnici și Civili), beginning with a civil engineering class which was later developed within the Academia Mihăileană (1835), and the University of Iași (1860). In November 1910, within the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Iași, an independent section, named School of Industrial Electricity, was set up. Soon renamed as the Institute of Electrical Engineering, the school was the first of its kind in Romania. On 7 November 1912, within the Faculty of Sciences, the electrotechnical, applied chemistry and agronomy departments are established. This event represents what may be called the birth certificate of what later became the Polytechnic School of Iași. In March 1937, when the Parliament of Romania voted a new Law of Education, the technical higher education departments of the University of Iași were reorganised as faculties and integrated into the newly established Gheorghe Asachi Polytechnic School, which was, at that time, one of the few higher education institutions in Romania qualified to issue engineer's degrees. The new institution took from the very beginning the name of Gheorghe Asachi, the founder of the Romanian technical education, while professor Cristea Niculescu-Otin was elected its first rector. In 1948, it was renamed as the Gheorghe Asachi Polytechnic Institute, and the Faculty of Agronomy became independent as the Agronomic Institute of Iași.
