The history of the metallurgical department (faculty) in St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University since 1902–1903 id presented; it was connected with growing demand on metallurgical engineers in Russia in the beginning of XX century. At first metallurgical department consisted of two sections — metallurgical and electrochemical. A row of famous scientists that were the first lecturers for future metallurgical engineers are described, among them N. A. Menshutkin, N. A. Kurnakov, F. Yu. Levinson-Lessing, A. A. Rzheshotarskiy, A. A. Baikov, M. A. Pavlov, V. E. Grum-Grzhimailo, V. A. Kistyakovskiy, P. P. Fedotyev, N. I. Belyaev, B. V. Stark, M. M. Karnaukhov, G. G. Urazov, N. T. Gudtsov, M. G. Oknov, D. M. Tatarchenko, G. A. Kashchsenko, I. M. Pavlov, M. P. Slavinskiy. Some of these specialists participated in the first steps of the Moscow Mining Academy (since 1918) and Moscow Institute of Steel (since 1930). In June 1930, St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has been divided in seven industrial institutes, including Metallurgical, Electromechanical, Electric Welding, Physical-Chemical, Machine-Building, Hydrotechnic and Boiler-and-Turbine. Part of these institutes reunited in June 1934 in Leningrad Industrial Institute, renamed in November 1940 in Leningrad Polytechnic Institute.
