About the Department

History...

The Department was arisen on the 1st September 1979 by constitution of the Department of Electrotechnics and Electronics at the Air Force Academy in Kosice. The former name was used for twenty years and the Department has become one of the most successful departments of the university. In connection with the changes in the military education in 2000 the structure of the department was modified and the name was changed to the Department of Electrotechnics and Informatics. At the time the Department was a part of the Air Force Academy of gen. M. R. Štefánik. After the transition from the Academy to the Technical University of Kosice on the 1st September 2004 the structure of the Department was changed again and the current name - the Department of the Aviation Technical Studies came to be called.
