Kazakh Polytechnic Institute
The first institute of higher education in Kazakhstan, Semipalatinsk Institute of Geological Survey, was founded in 1933 in Semipalatinsk (today, Semey). Shortly after, the institute was relocated to Almaty, where it was reorganized as Kazakh Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. In 1960, the institute was reorganized as Kazakh Polytechnic Institute. It is known as Satbayev University today. In 1957, Kazakh Polytechnic Institute launched a program in Industrial and Civil Construction. In 1961, it was expanded as three departments: Department of Construction, Department of Architecture, and Department of Technical Infrastructure. In 1980, the three departments separated from Kazakh Polytechnic Institute to form Alma-Ata Institute of Engineering and Construction (today, Kazakh Head Academy of Architecture and Construction).
