With Decree No 237, published in the State Gazette issue 248 from 24.10.1945, of the National Assembly of Bulgaria, a school called "State Polytechnic" is created with Mechanical engineering faculty with four divisions -
mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering and
mining and
geology. In 1953, the State Polytechnic was split into four new higher institutes, one of which was the Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. It had two faculties - one of mechanical and one of electrical engineering. Two years later, in 1955, the word "Higher" was added to the name. In 1959, a faculty of Transport and Communications was formed which four years later (in 1963) was split into Faculty of Transport (existing until today) and Faculty of Radio Electronics. The last was split into three in 1987 - Faculty of Electronic Engineering and Technology, Faculty of Telecommunications and Faculty of Computer Systems and Control all existing today. Some of the staff of the newly formed Faculty of Computer Systems and Control used to previously work in the Faculty of Automatics, which was separated from the faculty of Electrical Engineering in 1974. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was only split once, in 1963, when two new faculties - of Machine Technology and of Power Engineering and Power Machines, were formed from it. In 1991, the faculty of Management was formed. Since 1991 the Higher Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering was renamed to Technical University of Sofia. The Technical University of Sofia is one of the nine holders of the European University of Technology, EUt+, with the
Riga Technical University (
Latvia), the
Cyprus University of Technology (
Cyprus), the
Hochschule Darmstadt, University of Applied Sciences (
Germany), the
Technological University Dublin (
Ireland), the
Polytechnic University of Cartagena (
Spain), the
University of Technology of Troyes (
France), the
Technological University Dublin (
Ireland),the
University of Cassino and Southern Lazio (
Italy) and the
Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (
