Description: 
The Institute was founded in 1907 under the name of Don Polytechnic 
Institute. It was repeatedly reorganized, serving as a basis for a number of 
new institutes, which were transferred to other cities. In 1933, it became 
the Novocherkassk Industrial Institute, but was renamed in 1943 the Novo- 
cherkassk Polytechnic Institute. 
More than 1,200 students graduate every year from the faculties of 
mining, geology, mechanics, electromechanics, power engineering, construction, 
and chemical engineering. The Institute grants Candidate's Degrees. 
The Institute's scientists have conducted research in areas such as 
the utilization of iron and cast-iron shavings, enameling of metals, construc- 
tion of electric locomotives, oxygenous combinations of chlorine, mine venti- 
lation, mining machines, technology of silicates, and the kinetics of elec- 
trode processes. It publishes a Trudy.
