Description: 
One of the major institutions in the Soviet Union training con- 
struction engineers, MISI also conducts extensive research in construction 
techniques, materials and equipment. Much work has been done in structural 
and theoretical mechanics, hydrodynamics, hydroturbine design, and the study 
of soils. Some work has been done on the use of computers in structural a- 
nalysis and the use of aluminum alloys in construction. Glacial-actinometric 
studies have also been made in the Antarctic. A Trudy of the Institute is 
published. 
The courses of study offered include construction, hydroconstruc- 
tion, plumbing, heating and ventilation, reinforced-concrete structures, 
prefabricated construction, city planning, and construction equipment. The 
Institute grants both the Candidate's and the Doctor's Degrees. 
The Institute was opened in 1921.
