Description: 
This institute prepares students for technical careers in the 
railroad-transportation industry. The curriculum is extensive, ranging from 
the basic sciences through civil, mechanical, industrial, and electrical 
engineering. Steam locomotives, railroad-car construction, construction 
equipment, railroad electrification, railroad automation, remote control, and 
communications, utilization of railroads, railroad construction, water supply, 
and bridges and tunnels are covered in specific courses. The technical 
staff has done research in areas such as welding, nondestructive testing, 
metal physics, structural mechanics, electronic communications, and nuclear 
science. The Scientific-Research Institute of Bridges, which is attached to 
LIIZhT, has published research on welding, particularly the use of ultra- 
sonics for quality control, investigations of mechanical properties of weld 
joints, and low-temperature-strength studies. Both the Candidate's and 
Doctor's degrees are granted by LIIZhT. A Trudy and a collection of works 
of the Student Scientific Society are published.
