Abstract

The article examines the published “Report on the activities of the Imperial Moscow Technical School for the 1878–79 academic year” as a historical source concerning the development of scientific and technical knowledge in Russia at the end of the 19th century. The Brief Report of the Imperial Moscow Technical School for the 1878–1879 academic year, presented by V. K. Della-Vos, included in it, allows us to evaluate the enormous amount of work of the school’s teaching council to improve engineering education in Russia. This covers the development of a unique training system, and the introduction of tutoring to strengthen theoretical knowledge of students and allow them to gain professional experience in the school’s workshops and laboratories. The report gives an idea of the specifics of the teaching and management of educational activities system adopted at the school, which can be described as advanced one for its time. The report by Ya. Ya. Nikitinsky dealing with the activities of the Polytechnic Society at the Imperial Moscow Technical School shows its great importance for the formation of a connection between scientific and technical aspects and achievements, the creation of a unified scientific and technical community in Russia, the promotion of science in the technical field and the broad education of specialists
