This paper contemplates on the evolution of engineering sciences development in the Republic of Moldova in the postwar period. The author emphasizes the place and role of engineering sciences at different stages reflected in the decisions of the party (until 1990) and State powers, reveals chronologically the establishment of and support to the priorities regarding science development by directions and fields. Also, the author discloses the reasons for reticence in supporting engineering sciences in the first 15 years of the postwar period and highlights the factors which favored the rapid expansion of their development later. The author tends to tackle the thesis, rooted in our society so far, that Moldovan economy has grown mainly as agricultural one and scarcely industrial. The author makes reference to the complexity, high quality and importance of scientific-practical engineering accomplishments achieved in 107 institutions authorized with research and innovation, which were later implemented into a vast listing of scientointensive industrial products, manufactured at the production facilities of the domestic industrial complex. The paper highlights the valuable scientific achievements of some research and technological development schools of reference in engineering. |
