The rector of MGTU accused lawyers and economists of destroying the engineering school
On July 6, 2026, the rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Mikhail Gordin, stated at "Innoprom-2026" in Yekaterinburg that the mass transition of young people in universities to studying economics and law has harmed the development of the engineering school in Russia.
According to him, the complete destruction of the engineering school has been avoided. Gordin claims that there has been an increase in the influx of applicants to engineering specialties, and the teaching staff is already becoming younger, which indicates a revival of the profession's prestige.
— The main thing is not to hinder the development of the engineering school. The fact is that it has suffered due to the imbalance in the fields of study in engineering universities. In some universities, for example, aviation engineering ones, specialties for lawyers and economists have emerged. At one time, the engineering school shrank, and so did these universities, — the EAN publication quotes the rector of MGTU.
It was previously reported that more than half of Sverdlovsk graduates have started choosing colleges instead of universities.
