The history of technical higher education in Cluj-Napoca goes back to the beginning of the previous century. The unification of the Romanian provinces into a single state, on December 1st 1918, opened new perspectives for education. On February 1st 1920, the Industrial College was founded in Cluj-Napoca.
Later, under the provisions of the August 1948 law for the reform of education, The Mechanical Engineering Institute was established as a faculty with two departments: Thermotechnics and Machines. The increasing need of technical specialists helped the Mechanical Engineering Institute turn into the Cluj Polytechnic Institute in 1953. After the 1989 Revolution, Romanian higher education came back to the former academic tradition of the Western system. In 1992, the Polytechnic Institute was renamed as The Technical University of Cluj-Napoca.
The Technical University of Cluj-Napoca is one of the eight higher education institutions in Cluj-Napoca, the second in size, according to the number of students it has. Its main activity lies in educating and training engineers and technical staff. The university has eight faculties and a college in its structure, where more than 600 academic staff and more than 12,000 students carry out their activity. The choice of courses in various engineering specialties ranges from mechanical and manufacturing engineering to electrical engineering, telecommunications, computer science and control engineering, from civil engineering to architecture and materials science. The specific equipment for teaching and research purposes, the training and research laboratories, the modern computer networks and libraries with many volumes constitute the support of the educational and scientific activities.
The Department of Applied Electronics was established in 1990 to teach and research the different fields of electronics, devices, circuits and technology for the benefit of the electronics industry. The Department makes efforts to be a good partner of the industry in supplying skilful engineers, organizing postgraduate courses and training, carrying out research and development projects; and providing solutions of different topics of microelectronics and technology.
In the field of education the mission of the Department of Applied Electronics is to teach the knowledge of technology for students of electrical engineering and technical informatics. Since electronics technology is the knowledge associated with or applied to the realization of electronic components, circuits and systems, and seeing that today's electronics is microelectronics, in the last decade the Department has directed its energies towards the education of data acquisition and processing, mains conditioning power supplies, intelligent sensors, electromagnetic compatibility in electronic systems, reliability of electronic systems and modeling of electronic devices and circuits.
Top talented students have the opportunity of working with Faculty's research teams on most up-to-date topics or to join Industry Internship Program of top ranked companies: Continental, Elster Rometrics, Motorola, National Instruments, Siemens PSE, Siemens VDO, etc. Most of these for best students allowing a smoother professional integration after the graduation. More than 30% of our graduates are working for foreign companies (in Romania or abroad) and the numbers are increasing each year.
