Brief History
By the late 1960s, electronics, in the form of devices and methods, began to rapidly penetrate into a wide variety of fields of science and technology, ensuring increased efficiency in production and scientific research. This necessitated the appropriate training of engineering personnel, a task undertaken by the Faculty of Industrial Engineering (FPI). Consequently, in 1968, a department named "Electronics and Computer Engineering" was established. In 1976, this department served as the foundation for the creation of two new departments: "Automated Control Systems and Computer Engineering" and "Radio Electronics." For 11 years, the "Radio Electronics" department functioned as a general engineering department, tasked with teaching the fundamentals of electronics to students in non-electrical engineering faculties, as well as providing instruction in radio engineering disciplines for the Faculty of Power Engineering.
Due to the republic's significant demand for radio engineers, the department began offering a degree program in 1987 under the specialty T.25.308, "Design and Technology of Radio-Electronic Systems." From 1996, the department was renamed "Radio Electronics and Telecommunications."
Beginning in 1993, the department initiated training programs in the fields of "Radio Electronics" (T-25) and "Telecommunications" (T-04), covering the specialties T.25.308 ("Design and Technology of Radio-Electronic Systems"), T-04.309 ("Radio Communications, Broadcasting, and Television"), and T.04.311 ("Communication Networks and Systems"). In 2000, the department split into two separate entities—"Telecommunications" and "Radio Electronics"—which then became part of a new, autonomous division within KGTU: the Division of Telecommunications. Since 2003, the department has been training highly qualified specialists in the fields of "Radio Engineering" (552501.01), "Radio Communications, Broadcasting, and Television" (550401.02), and "Communication Systems for Mobile Objects" (550401.05).
In 2011, the Telecommunications Division was reorganized into the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications. Within this institute, the Department of Radio Electronics began offering bachelor’s and master’s degree programs with specializations in "Mobile Communication and Radio Access Systems" and "Digital Television and Sound Broadcasting" (under the field of study 690300: "Infocommunication Technologies and Communication Systems"), as well as in "Radio Engineering" (under the field of study 690200: "Radio Engineering").
In September 2022, as part of an initiative to consolidate the university’s structural units, the Department of Radio Electronics and the Department of Telecommunications were merged into a single department—"Infocommunication Technologies"—which was subsequently renamed "Electronics and Infocommunication Technologies," given that electronics-related courses accounted for the majority of the academic workload.
In June 2026, the department was split into two separate departments: "Digital Electronics" and "Electronics and Infocommunication Technologies."
Currently, the department is named "Infocommunication Technologies" and provides training for bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the field of study 690300: "Infocommunication Technologies and Communication Systems."
