Our educational institution has a long and colorful history.
On July 2, 1960, on the basis of Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the BSSR No. 383, the Minsk Radio Engineering College was created. Having begun its activities during the period of formation and development of the radio-electronic industry in the Republic of Belarus, the radio engineering technical school gradually transformed into a higher college.
On September 1, 1960, 200 students began classes at the newly opened Minsk Radio Engineering College, the creation of which was predetermined by the development of industrial production, which revealed the republic’s need for qualified technical personnel. The first intake of students was carried out in the specialties “Electronic computers, instruments and devices”, “Radio equipment engineering”, “Production of radio-insulating materials and radio components”, “Programming for high-speed mathematical machines”.
22 teachers trained specialists in full-time and part-time forms of education. Among them were participants in the Great Patriotic War, including Hero of the Soviet Union Ivan Eliseevich Sambuk.
In 1991, order No. 144 of June 17, 1991 was issued by the Ministry of Public Education of the Republic of Belarus. “On the experimental transformation of the Minsk Radio Engineering College into an educational institution of a new type – a college.”
In 1995, the college was reorganized again and received a new status and name – Minsk State Higher Radio Engineering College (MGVRK).
Students who studied in the 1st and 2nd years and demonstrated good knowledge of the subjects, passed the test and confirmed their knowledge on the control section, were transferred to the second level of education, receiving, in parallel with knowledge of special subjects, a pedagogical education, and after graduating from the Moscow State University of Radio Engineering and Technology – a teacher-radio engineer, a teacher-economist, a teacher-programmer. The graduation of the first twenty students with higher education in the specialty “Vocational Education” took place in 1998.
From September 1, 2015, an updated page opens in the life of our college, which becomes a branch of the educational institution “Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics” (BSUIR) “Minsk Radio Engineering College” (MRK). The college provides training only at the level of specialized secondary education, which does not reduce the level of responsibility for the quality of the graduates. RTO is a separate structural unit of BSUIR, integrated into the university, understanding and consciously supporting its Goals and Objectives, Quality Policy.
In accordance with the decision of the Council of the educational institution “Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics” (Minutes No. 6 dated 01/25/2019), by order of the rector of the university dated 01/29/2019 No. 14, a resource center for electronics and instrumentation was created on the basis of the branch “Minsk Radio Engineering College”. Based on the letter of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus dated September 16, 2022 No. 03-02-14/9330/ds and the order of the branch director dated December 22, 2022 No. 197, the resource center for electronics and instrumentation was renamed into a competency center for information and communication technologies and electronics. On the basis of the competence center, in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus, network training is carried out for students of other colleges of the Republic of Belarus to master educational practical programs. Up to 500 college students are trained annually. Besides this, At the competency center, students of the Faculty of Radio Engineering and Electronics of BSUIR acquire practical skills in electronics.
Based on the results of the work, by the decision of the Administration of the Sovetsky District of Minsk, the college was repeatedly included on the Board of Honor of the Sovetsky District of Minsk as an institution that achieved the best results among institutions of secondary specialized education in the Sovetsky District of Minsk.
By Order of the Minister of Education of the Republic of Belarus dated July 24, 2023 No. 977 No. 367, the educational institution “Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics” in terms of the activities of the branch “Minsk Radio Engineering College” was granted the status of “Leading educational institution implementing educational programs of secondary specialized education” at the republican level in the specialties of the areas of education “Information and communication technologies”, “Engineering and engineering (instrumentation and electronics).”
