Zaporizhia State Engineering Academy

Zaporizhia State Engineering Academy was founded in 1959 by the Ministry of Higher Education of USSR as the evening faculty of Dnepropetrovsk Metallurgical Institute. Since 1965 it was a branch of DmetI and since 1976 it became Zaporizhia Industrial Institute. Under the leadership of M. Potebnya from a provincial university it became one of the most prominent and fast developing universities not only in Ukraine but in the whole Soviet Union.                                                                By Resolution of the Government of Ukraine # 592 issued on 29.08.1994, Zaporizhia State Engineering Academy was founded on the basis of Zaporizhia Industrial Institute. During its 50-year existence due to a good start it has grown from a branch of a provincial institute into an Academy. Graduates from the Academy completely meet industrial region requirements for staff.
