The tradition of our institution, gained in more than 185 years through the efforts of the most important nation's schoolmasters, as well as of students' generations, is not the only convincing reason. Today, the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest is undergoing a continuous modernization process, being involved in a permanent dialogue with great universities in Europe and all over the world. The mission of the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest has been thought over as a mingling of education, research and innovation, which represents a key towards a knowledge based society and economy. Creating knowledge mainly by scientific research, giving it out by education and professional training, its dissemination by information technologies, and the use of technological innovation are elements that define the university distinctiveness. The University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest wants to be present among the universities 4 OF BUCHAREST in Europe able to design and optimize processes that lead to a knowledge based society, to reaching the goals on the sustainable economic growth, to better jobs, to stronger economic and social cohesion, in comply with the provisions of the 2002 European Council in Lisbon and the 2002 European Council in Barcelona. Consistent to the fundamental role played by universities and student organizations in the Higher Education European Scene development, the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest commits itself to priorities such as the development of the higher education quality at European level, studies re-organization by adopting a system based on cycles whose implementation has started in 2005, support of students and teaching staff mobility abroad, achievement of the partnership with students in view of decision making, and bringing the continuous education to reality. In order to face these complex challenges, the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest is planning a sound educational and researchdevelopment policy with the participation of the entire community. Our professors and students mobility to universities in the European Union, as well as the incoming staff, research programs 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 involving our university, doctoral theses jointly supervised by our university professors and those from European universities, Erasmus (Socrates) and Leonardo da Vinci programs that our institution takes part in, master's studies organized together with European universities, visiting professors invited to hold courses and give lectures represent some of the facts proving the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest integration in the European system of education. Seriousness, the deepness of the approach and the quality of the academic programs have also led, year by year, to the acknowledgment of our professors and students performances abroad, in addition to the recognition of the engineer diploma issued by the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest. The engineering profession has continuously transformed and adapted to the new demands of society, but being an engineer, one who knows and is able to make life more comfortable has remained unchanged. 3 0 0 4 0 0 5 0 0 6 0 0 Nowadays, it is inconceivable, that a person should survive without all the things put near at hand by an engineer. A place to live, every day food, the goods in our home, medicines and cosmetics, water, electric and thermal power, machines and equipments, communication means, cars or airplanes, as a matter of fact the whole material conception is the work and result of an engineer's thinking. 7 0 0 8 0 0 9 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 Rector, Prof. Ecaterina ANDRONESCU, M.Eng.PhD 1 2 0 0 1 3 0 0 The heritage left by our predecessors determine the present academic community to get involved in many scientific research programs and projects that confer it not only appreciation and professional reputation, but also the quality of its teaching steps and the premise of its participation in realizing an information society within the higher education European space through knowledge creation. 1 4 0 0 1 5 0 0 1 6 0 0 1 7 0 0 1 8 0 0 1 9 0 0 5 2 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 UNIVERSITY POLITEHNICA OF BUCHAREST Short history U niversity POLITEHNICA of Bucharest (UPB) is the most important technical university in Romania. Its traditions are connected to the founding of the first higher technical school in 1818 by Gheorghe Lazar. Born in Avrig, Gheorghe Lazar studied in Sibiu, Cluj and Vienna. In 1817-1818 he endeavoured to convince the local noblemen of the need for supporting a modern national school in the Romanian Language. Thus, on 24 March 1818, by a Royal Edict, the premises of Saint Sava Abbey were converted into the new school. Later, in 1832 this school was reorganised, including four cycles, in accordance with the provisions of Organic Ordinance. Among other faculties, the one dealing with exact sciences included courses such as applied trigonometry, geodesy, mineralogy, engineering graphics, descriptive geometry, mechanical elements applied to ordinary machines, principles of building roads and bridges, elements of architecture, etc. The graduates were obliged either to work for three years for the state, or to return the grant received. In 1862, the ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza had established by another Royal Decree a set of rules for the organisation of civil engineers, the hierarchy of engineers or 6 conductors, their salaries, the conditions for admission and promotion, were clearly defined. An important figure in the „School of Bridges, Roads and Mines” was Gheorghe Duca. As early as 1887, he analysed the content of courses, finding the weaknesses of the school, as well as the best solutions to improve its academic level. In those times, a substantial condition was the severity imposed on the conduct of students, in addition to evaluation. Students obtaining insufficient results, or having an erratic course attendance, were quickly removed from the school. Indeed, at the beginning, the preparatory year had no admission tests. Starting with 1881, an admission test had been introduced; the top priority was the quality of candidates, the number of the selected ones being less important. Gheorghe Duca tried and succeded to bring the best professors to the „National School of Bridges and Roads”; among them, we should mention David Emanuel (Elementary Mathematics), Spiru Haret (Higher Algebra and Analytical Geometry), C.M. Mironescu (Statistics and Engineering Graphics), Constantin Istrati (Physics), or Anghel Saligny (Bridges and Roads). Moreover, Gheorghe Duca himself was considered the 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 greatest authority in railways at the end of 19-th century. This was perhaps a turning moment, when it was clearly demonstrated that Romania was capable of achieving on its own what had been deemed likely to be obtained only abroad, namely the training of highly qualified science and engineering specialists. The year 1890 also represented a momentous point, when at the National School of Bridges and Roads a new commission was set up. Its main role was to issue equivalency certificates for the engineering diplomas obtained abroad, thus transforming this national school into a model for evaluating higher technical studies. Nicolae Vasilescu-Karpen was appointed director of the School in February 1920. As a direct result of his endeavours, the governement approved the establishment of Polytechnic Schools in Romania, conceived as higher education institutions, similar to universities, having as their final aim engineering training under the Ministry of Public Works. No surprise, the first Polytechnic School was set up by transforming the „National School of Bridges and Roads” into the „Polytechnic School of Bucharest”. In this initial stage it consisted in four sections: a. Civil Engineering; b. Mechanics and Electricity; c. Mines and Metallurgy; d. The Industrial Section. 3 0 0 4 0 0 5 0 0 In this period, in addition to the Polytechnic School, there were Institutes for Engineers within Universities. For instance, the University of Bucharest hosted an institute for electrical engineering, an institute for industrial chemistry and another one for agricultural and food chemistry. 6 0 0 7 0 0 8 0 0 Another important corner stone was the decree 3799 of 1938 stating that higher education could be provided only by Universities, Polytechnic Schools, or Academies for Commercial Studies. 9 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 As a direct result, the Academy of Higher Agricultural Studies, The Academy of Architecture, The Institute of Industrial Chemistry and Agricultural and Food Chemistry, respectively, were introduced in the frame of „Bucharest POLITEHNICA”. 1 2 0 0 1 3 0 0 1 4 0 0 The change of name from „Polytechnic School of Bucharest” into „POLITEHNICA of Bucharest” was accompanied by other changes as well. Thus, POLITEHNICA depended on the Ministry of National Education (instead of the Ministry for Public Works), the former director became Rector of POLITEHNICA, the different sections became Faculties, their presidents in turn, became Deans etc. 1 5 0 0 1 6 0 0 1 7 0 0 1 8 0 0 1 9 0 0 7 2 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 UNIVERSITY POLITEHNICA Established in 1818 B etween 1938 and 1948 POLITEHNICA of Bucharest had seven faculties: Civil Engineering, Electromechanics, Metallurgy, Industrial Chemistry, Silviculture, Agronomy and Architecture. Another important transformation took place in 1948, when several faculties or even specialities became independent, or even moved to other towns. So, a lot of universities, institutes or faculties have their roots in the old „POLITEHNICA of Bucharest”. Thus, the following establishments, were initially faculties or departments at University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest: The University for Civil Engineering Bucharest; Silviculture Faculty Brasov; The Agronomy Institute Bucharest; The School of Mines Petrosani; The University for Gas and Oil Ploiesti; The Architecture Institute Bucharest; Faculty for Food Chemistry Galati; Faculty for Textile Industry Iasi. The name for our school was „The Polytechnic Institute of Buchatest”. Today, on the resolution of the Senate (November 1992), The Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest turned into University POLITEHNICA of 8 OF BUCHAREST Bucharest, preserving the name „POLITEHNICA”, proudly used by generations of students. With more than 180 years of existence, UPB represents one of the fundamental and prestigious institutions of Romanian higher education, being the main source for the technical specialists of Romania. Illustrious personalities such as Gogu Constantinescu, Elie Carafoli, Costin D. Nenitescu, known world-wide by the scientific community, were professors at the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest. 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 3 0 0 Bucharest - Sightseeing Tour 4 0 0 5 0 0 6 0 0 7 0 0 Museum of Rom anian Peasant 8 0 0 The Village Museum Romanian Atheneum 9 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 r nal Theate Natio 1 3 0 0 The National Bank of Romania 1 4 0 0 The Parliament Palace 1 5 0 0 1 6 0 0 1 7 0 0 1 8 0 0 Central University Library 1 9 0 0 The Old Court (Curtea Veche) 9 2 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 UNIVERSITY POLITEHNICA BUCHAREST Why study in Bucharest? Old Historical Center of Bucharest B Lipscani District Perhaps the city’s unique charm can be best observed in the area known as Lipscani, which consists of a jumble of streets between Calea Victoriei, Blvd. Bratianu, Blvd. Regina Elisabeta and the Dambovita River. A once-glamorous residential area, the old city center is now slowly being refashioned into an upscale neighborhood. ucharest it is the greatest Romanian city with a lot of extra curricular resources. Romanian legend has it that the city of Bucharest was founded on the banks of the Dambovita River by a shepherd named Bucur, whose name literarily means “joy.” In the 15th century, the princely court of Vlad Tepes (thought to have been the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula) was established here and by the end of the 17th century, the city had become the capital of the province of Walachia. In 1862, Bucharest became the capital of Romania. Remodeled in the late 19th century by French and French-trained architects, the city features large neoclassical buildings, fashionable parks, and even its very own Arc de Triomphe on the elegant Soseaua Kiseleff, an avenue longer than the famed Champs-Elysees and home to the city's mansion district. Bucharest is laden with historical charm – from the streets of the Old City Center, which are slowly being restored, to the grand architecture of the Royal Palace and the lush green of Cismigiu Park. The city also claims a large number of museums, art galleries, exquisite Orthodox churches and unique architectural sites. 10 OF At the beginning of 1400s, most merchants and craftsmen - Romanian, Austrian, Greek, Bulgarian, Serbian, Armenian and Jewish established their stores and shops in this section of the city. Soon, the area became known as Lipscani, named for the many German traders from Lipsca or Leiptzig. Other streets took on the names of various old craft communities and guilds, such as Blanari (furriers), Covaci (blacksmiths), Gabroveni (knife makers) and Cavafii Vechi (shoe-makers). The mix of nationalities and cultures is reflected in the mishmash of architectural styles, from baroque to neoclassical to art nouveau. Today, the area is home to many art galleries, antique shops and coffeehouses. 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 Governing body of university General Information Name in Romanian: Universitatea POLITEHNICA din Bucure ti Address: 313, Splaiul Independentei, sector 6, RO-060042, Bucharest, ROMANIA Website: www.upb.ro http://admitere.upb.ro Public Relations Department Tel./Fax: + 40 (21) 402 9465 e-mail: [email protected] International Cooperation Department Tel./Fax: + 40 (21) 402 9872 e-mail: [email protected] 3 0 0 Rector: Vice-Rector for Scientific Research: Ecaterina ANDRONESCU, Professor Tel: + 40-21-318 1000 Fax: + 40 -21-318 1001 E-mail: [email protected] Serban RAICU, Professor Tel: + 40-21-402 92 78 E-mail: [email protected] Vice-Rector for Administrative Information Systems: Adrian Alexandru BADEA, Professor Tel: + 40-21-402 95 44 / 93 41 E-mail: [email protected] Nicolae TAPUS, Professor Tel: + 40-21-402 98 27 E-mail: [email protected] Vice-Rector for Postgraduate Education: Scientific Secretary: Corneliu BURILEANU, Professor Tel: + 40-21-402 98 27 E-mail: [email protected] Iulian RIPOSAN, Professor Tel: + 40-21-402 95 30 E-mail: [email protected] Vice-Rector for Financial Problems: 5 0 0 6 0 0 Vice-Rector for Undergraduate Education: Vice-Rector for International Relations and Partnerships: Marian GHEORGHE, Professor Tel: + 40-21-402 96 92 E-mail: [email protected] 4 0 0 7 0 0 8 0 0 9 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 1 3 0 0 1 4 0 0 Rector`s Office 1 5 0 0 1 6 0 0 + 40 (21) 318 10 00 + 40 (21) 318 10 01 [email protected] 1 7 0 0 Mihai Octavian POPESCU, Professor Tel: + 40-21-318 10 03 E-mail: [email protected] 1 8 0 0 1 9 0 0 11 2 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 UNIVERSITY POLITEHNICA Educational efficiency Content of curricula University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest organizes in its 13 faculties: • undergraduate studies in 15 fields with 66 curricula (distinct specializations); OF BUCHAREST “Subject Identification”; there are stated the competences resulted from a given discipline, its content, the evaluation procedures, and the number of credits, as well as bibliography.

It represents the main process of knowledge and innovation that makes possible the dynamics of the essential values of the education activities of our university. That is why, the strategic orientations of scientific research at all levelsdepartments, research centers, faculties, university- corresponds to the fields and the specializations of the technical university and post-university education present and provisioned. The general objective that we find in all the long term strategies of the Senate of UPB and of the Councils of faculties is represented by the stimulation of science progress, of technology and innovation in Romania, for the raise of economic attractiveness with an emphasis on the continuous professional training, on the improvement of the research infrastructure, the articulation of major programs of research, the promotion of organizational 14 OF BUCHAREST excellence, the improvement of the social life quality and of the public awareness of CDI field in the context of European Union accession and of the globalization, as economic and social phenomenon. The national priorities to which the CDI activities from our university are subordinated, through the conceived strategies, address to the technologies of the information society, energy, health, environment, transportation and the territory fitting out, security and food safety, biotechnologies, the processes, the products and materials, the fundamental aspects of the social-economic life. This is the reason for which we appreciate that the research programming is integrated within the national priorities, and the accomplishments at national level are significant. The Synthesis of research Reports presented in the Senate of UPB regarding the research activities in 2004, 2005, 2006, and the Reports to CNCFIS regarding the financing indicator IC 6 in 2004, 2005, and 2006 which are presented in the ANNEX constitute convincing arguments of the research relevance on national level. 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 3 0 0 The involvement of the university research potential in accomplishing scientific research projects with international financing (PC 5 and 6, Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Curie, NATO, PHARE, Erasmus, COST, EUREKA, bilateral agreements, etc) had the role of placing University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest on the first position in Romania as number of won projects and also as attracted money. It is enough to mention that the main fields of the won projects in PC 6, for example (37 projects, out of which 5 as coordinators) cover the entire 7 priorities of PC 6, with a special accent on the information technology, nanosciences nanotechnologies and special materials, knowledge based society, energyenvironment and sustainable development. 4 0 0 5 0 0 6 0 0 7 0 0 8 0 0 9 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 1 3 0 0 The constant participation of our university professors to ascertain the strategies suitable to the research programs from PNCD II and PNCD III and to the themes of CNCSIS grants (within the commission of Engineering Sciences) represents a supplementary reason for the participation at setting up the research strategies at national level. 1 4 0 0 1 5 0 0 1 6 0 0 1 7 0 0 1 8 0 0 1 9 0 0 15 2 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 UNIVERSITY POLITEHNICA Carrying out research T he UPB research has human resources - 1592 academic staff, out of which 520 professors and 340 readers, 258 doctoral supervisors (at 2356 doctoral students), of which 678 in the system with frequency, 47 permanently employees in research and another 679 on determined period, creating at the end of 2006 a total of 1902 person x month- material resources (in the 62 chairs/departments and the 38 research centers) that registered a significant raise as a result of the bigger and bigger resources attracted by the research activities, of 58,6 million RON in 2006, and by the financing obtained in the six “platfor ms “of for mation-research. Doubtlessly, the commissions for internal endorsement brought their contribution in improving the research reports; in a similar manner, the Senate Council for Scientific Research has oriented many research endeavors towards multi-disciplinary research, especially inter- and transdisciplinary ones (i.e. such efforts were made on the above mentioned “platfor ms”). The use of IT in all research activities has been manifest, especially with regard to the 16 OF BUCHAREST running of CNCSIS projects, as well as for research “platfor ms”. As shown before, in UPB there are several research “platfor ms”; we have assured a transparent access to all information regarding acquisitions carried out within every “platfor m”, namely: • QEVMAT –Computing equipment; • QEVMAT –Laborator y apparatus and installations; • QEVMAT –Defectoscopy; • QEVMAT –Mobile Laborator y • Applied Sciences –Laborator y for Structure of matter; • Applied Sciences –Optical str ucture; • Material Science and Engineering; • Establishing the properties of metallic materials; • Material Science and Engineering – Laboratory –Material Science; • Computing equipment; software; software for mechanics. 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 Valorization of research The results regarding scientific research have been analyzed by taking into account: the financial resources involved; the value demonstrated by publications; the number of Ph.D. theses submitted; the use within the socio-economic environment of the results obtained. a) Examining the financial resources involved, we have monitored the dynamics of total values (quite significant in 2008 as compared with 2007 and especially 2006), but also the structure of expenditures, focusing on expenses for investments. b) With regard to the value demonstrated by publications, we checked the papers published in ISI journals or in indexed data bases, books in print at international publishing houses, the important treaties or monographs, communications given at significant international conferences in every field. 3 0 0 research areas, at least in a predictable future, in the domain of Ph.D. supervisor. 4 0 0 d) University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest consequently participated to National research Fair. UPB has presented its involvement in scientific research, in the frame of FP6, in 2007 and FP7 in Brussels; the concrete steps taken for making the scientific park, meant to facilitate technologic transfer, were also presented at this event. 5 0 0 6 0 0 7 0 0 8 0 0 9 0 0 Young researchers, under 35, authors of ISI papers have received prizes; the annual awards "Jn Tempore Oportuno" and "Opera Omnia" have stimulated research workers and increased the visibility of the university. 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 1 3 0 0 1 4 0 0 1 5 0 0 1 6 0 0 c) Examining the Ph.D. theses submitted, it was difficult to draw a clear-cut conclusion, about whether the results obtained would produce effects for the development of new 1 7 0 0 1 8 0 0 1 9 0 0 17 2 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 UNIVERSITY POLITEHNICA Sport and Ieisure Sports is an active, formative, compensative and recreational component in the learning-teaching process and brings its contribution, by specific means, to the shaping of the students` personality and the preserving of a healthy body and active mind`s condition of both students and staff. Physical education is compulsory in the engineering curricula (during the first and second year). In this respect, UPB provides excellent sporting opportunities for the students. There are two well-equipped Sport Halls (in the „New Site” and in „Leu” Complex, respectively), eight tennis courts and other facilities. University POLITEHNICA has in its administration a number of 28 halls of residence, where a number of around 11,500 students receive proper accommodation. The halls of residence are situated in walking distance of the University (the „New Site”). Hostels and Canteens On UPB camps there are also two student canteens, several snack bars, thus assuring the catering, either on a whole month 18 OF BUCHAREST system, or „à la carte”. Student clubs, discos in the campus offer possibilities for enjoying the spare time. Rewards for the best students At the end of courses, based on the grades previously obtained during all years of studies, in a certain profile and/or specialisation, the best graduate is declared top of his/her graduation class of a particular section, receiving all the honours from his/her colleagues, as well as an important financial reward. The prizes are awarded in a special festivity organised by the University Senate. Scholarships Each year, around 7000 Romanian students take advantage of a system of grants covered by the state budget. The criteria for obtaining scholarships are basically the professional ones; however, some grants are also awarded according to a social procedure. Foreign students from EU benefit from Erasmus grants, while other overseas students often receive grants from the Romanian Ministry of Education, Research and Youth. 0 STUDENT LIFE Enrollment of foreign students Foreign citizens who want to take studies in our University, must present a „LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE”. This document is granted only by the Ministry of Education and Research of Romania and is obtained upon application.
