The Department of Physics was established in 1954, simultaneously with the creation of the Frunze Polytechnic Institute and is one of the oldest in the university. There were only 3 staff units in the department. They were replaced by Ruchkina V.D. - Acting head of the department, Feklistov G.A. - assistant of the department and Sedykh A.N. - Senior Assistant.
The first competitive elections and filling positions of the teaching staff took place in 1955. The first head of the department from 1955 to 1961 was the candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, Feklistov G.A.
From the first days of the organization of the institute, the staff of the department began to create a material and technical base. In a relatively short period of time, laboratories of mechanics and molecular physics, electricity and optics were created.
In the organization and development of the educational and material base of the department, strong ties with the leading universities of the former Soviet Union - Moscow, Leningrad, etc.
Since 1961, the department was headed by Associate Professor Ruchkina V.D. In 1962 the department of physics receives new laboratory premises in the new educational building on Prospekt Mira. Educational laboratories were formed: mechanics, molecular physics, electricity and magnetism, optics, as well as a room for lecture demonstrations.
The number of members of the department is increasing, which makes it possible to increase the overall volume and quality of methodological and scientific work. Experienced teachers Ivanova R.M., Shvaiko N.V. are enrolled in the department. and graduates of KSU Mukambaev A.M., Shabalin V.D., Malaev S.M., Usupov K.U., Karymshakov R.K. and others. Asanbayeva J.A., Dzhaparov R.D., who graduated from the graduate school of the Tomsk Polytechnic Institute, are sent to work at the FPI.
The growth in the number of members of the department made it possible to dramatically increase the overall volume and quality of methodological and scientific work. Teaching aids for students are published, scientific papers are printed. The department becomes the largest department of the institute, its branches are opened at the Toktogul hydroelectric power station, in Osh. Teachers of the department annually get the opportunity to improve their skills in the best universities in Moscow and Leningrad. Since 1958, articles based on the results of research work of the department's employees have been published in the works of the FPI.
In the autumn of 1967, to the post of head. Associate Professor G.A. Feklistov is re-elected as the department.
In the period from 1967 to 1972. the department had 39 full-time teaching staff and 17 teaching and support staff. During this period, the qualitative composition of the department has grown significantly. If in 1967 only 2 candidates of sciences worked at the department, then by 1972 there were 9 candidates of sciences, which accounted for 23% of the total number of employees. While working at the department, Ph.D.
The level of scientific and pedagogical skills of teachers has increased. A significant role in this was played by the use of various forms of advanced training: postgraduate studies, FPC, scientific internships, passing candidate minimum exams, etc. Every year, 5-6 members of the department were sent for scientific internships and the faculty of advanced training.
The material base of the department has grown significantly. At the main department of the department there were 7 educational laboratories, 2 research laboratories, 2 physical classrooms, one of them for software.
In the branch at the Toktogul HPP, 4 educational laboratories and one scientific laboratory for X-ray diffraction analysis are being created.
The laboratories of mechanics and molecular physics, electricity and optics have been significantly updated. In mechanics and molecular physics, an experimental laboratory was created, adapted to introduce the semi-frontal cyclic method into the educational process; leader P.P.Kim. Under the leadership of Tagiltsev A.P. and Abdulina Sh.A. the laboratory of atomic physics and solid state physics was created. Methodological manuals for laboratory work in all branches of physics were written and published.
Much attention was paid by the department to the introduction of technical means in lecture work. A physical auditorium was created, which made it possible to use modern technical means in lecture work. The physics cabinet was significantly replenished with demonstration material. Card indexes of demonstration experiments, tables, posters and transparencies were created, and the creation of a film library began.
In September 1972, a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, a graduate of Moscow State University Maripov A.M. was elected to the post of head of the department. During this period, the improvement of the qualitative composition of the department continues. If in 1972 there were 9 candidates of science in the department out of 39 employees, then in 1976 the number of candidates of science increased to 15 people. By 1976, the department had 56 employees.
In order to improve the organization of educational and scientific-methodical work, by order of the rector, since April 5, 1976 (No. 1-25 of 04/07/76.), the Department of Physics has been divided into two departments: the Department of Technical Physics: (TF) and the Department of General Physics. The head of the Department of Technical Physics, as elected by competition, was left to Associate Professor A.M. Maripov.
The Department of Technical Physics was entrusted with training students of the energy, mechanical, mining and geological, evening energy and evening mechanical faculties, as well as students of the preparatory department and preparatory courses.
In 1978, Associate Professor Abdrazakov A.A. was elected to the post of head of the department. The department staff was tasked with further improving the teaching methods of the general physics course. In the process of implementing the methodological work plan, plans for physics classes for all specialties were developed and published in the form of a brochure.
A certain result of methodological work at the department was the subject of reports offered annually at the educational and methodological conference of the Institute.
The laboratory base of the department continues to develop, the laboratory of nuclear physics and solid state physics is being strengthened, specialized physics classrooms are being improved. Methodological manuals for laboratory work in all sections of physics were republished.
Since March 1985, the head of the department is Doctor of Technical Sciences I.M. Grach. In 1985, there were 1 professor, 5 associate professors, 7 senior teachers, 9 teachers, a total of 22 employees. The department has educational laboratories in all sections of the general physics course, a physics room, two specialized lecture halls equipped with closed-circuit television systems, a specialized office for practical and seminar classes equipped with a programmed control system, a laboratory for the repair of educational equipment.
