The Department of Electric Transport and Diesel Locomotive Engineering was established in 1893 as the Department of Steam Locomotive Engineering, renamed into the Department of Locomotive Engineering in 1956, and since 2000 it has a modern name – Electric Transport and Diesel Locomotive Engineering. The department has completed more than 100 graduates of specialists – locomotive builders. Now the department graduates bachelors and masters in the specialties “Power engineering, electrical engineering and electromechanics” and “Railway transport”.
