Russia was always famous for top-level education in different spheres of Engineering and many of its universities are considered to be the schools of educational excellence, having a potential for real greatness. A long-term history of these universities provides many examples of creating a great number of the world-known scientific contributions in developing different fields such as space engineering, heating engineering, biophysics, aerodynamics, radio physics, radio electronics, optics, laser technology, dynamics, strength of machines, theoretical and experimental physics, mathematics, cybernetics and computer sciences, discovering of new energy sources, solving new scientific and technological problems, implementing of new methods of energy generating, distributing and consuming.

The aim of these schools is to train skillful artisans with a solid theoretical background to improve and spread skills in various trades.

Currently there are institutions of higher learning that provide tuition in different fields of engineering: the Moscow Aviation Institute, the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute, which are recognized nationally and internationally for the quality of its programs. The most important ingredient of graduate education is the combination of fundamental theoretical knowledge with profound engineering skills, enabling students to solve the current problems of contemporary science and modern industries.
