Organization

The department was established in 1977 under the name “General Technical Sciences” on the basis of the Department of General Physics. Its first head was the Candidate of Biological Sciences, Associate Professor Isomiddin Jumayev, and the main focus was on the development of teaching and practical training in technical sciences. Later, the field of “Fine Arts and Engineering Graphics” was also formed and operated as an independent department. This department was headed by Associate Professor Kamoliddin Zoyirov and Senior Lecturer Pardaboy Khudoyberdiev. Starting from the 2021–2022 academic year, both areas were merged, and the current department of “Technological Education and Fine Arts” was established.
