Belarusian State University (BSU) is oldest and largest high
school and scientific center of Belarus. BSU was established in
1921. In present-day Belarus BSU is extending the traditions of
VilniusAcademy created in 1579. Its professors formed first professors
corp of BSU. Now BSU has status of Main High School of Belarus.
BSU has the rights of independent Ministry of Belarus and its
Rector is member of Belarus Government. BSU includes 18 educational
departments and more then 10 scientific institutions, research
and educational centers. More then 2000 full professors, associate
professors and other high quality scientific experts are working
in BSU.
The four departments (Mechanical and Mathematical, Radio Physics,
Physics, Application Mathematics and Information) are training
experts for electronics (about 3000 students). For their teaching
the High Technology Scientific Center (HTSC) was created by the
joint effort of Belarusian State University, Mentor Graphics Corp.
and New Technology Laboratory Ltd in 1998. In researches of HTSC
take part more then 120 specialists of Center, other departments
of BSU, other High Schools, Belarusion National Academy of Science
(BNAS), private and state enterprises.
HTSC is an organisational unit of BSU. It is a part of Mechanical
and Mathematical Department. The specialization Mathematical Electronics
was opened at this department in 1987. BNAS and conglomerate Integral
were the initiators of its establishment. The students of Mathematical
Electronics are able to choose the necessary mathematical method
of data processing, to describe the electronic system being created
using special high level computer language (VHDL, Verilog-HDL),
to model the system, to allocate to the system software and hardware,
and to design the system employing modern CAD and programming
tools.
