The story

In 1948, under the provisions of the August 1948 law for the reform of education, the Cluj Institute of Mechanics was founded. The Institute had a faculty with two departments: Thermotechnics and Machines. The increasing need of technical specialists helped the Mechanics Institute turn into the Polytechnic Institute of Cluj, in 1953.

In 1992 the Polytechnic Institute was renamed as Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. In 2012, by a university agreement, UTCN absorbed the North University of Baia Mare, which became Baia Mare University North Center of Technical University of Cluj-Napoca
