History of Electromechanics and Electrical Apparatus Departments
EMEEA department unites the rich heritage of two historical MEI departments
The Department of Electromechanics, Electrical and Electronic Apparatus (EMEEA) is a unified department within the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Electrification (IETE) at NRU MPEI. It inherits the traditions of two outstanding schools: the Department of Electrical Machines (Electromechanics) and the Department of Electrical Apparatus, each of which made a fundamental contribution to the development of Soviet and Russian electrical engineering.
History
