The Evening faculty was found in July 1956 for improving of qualificationof Ryazanenterprises of
radio-electronic industry workers. There was a lack of graduate engineers, graduates production managers at various levels. The first set was in the number of 100 people with the specialty «Design and Radio Production».
In 1974, the evening faculty was divided into two parts: Evening Radio Engineering faculty (EREF) and Evening Faculty of Electronic Engineering (EFEE). Needs for such transformation was dictated by increasing of evening courses specialties.
Opened specialties:
- Information and measuring technology.
- Electronic devices.
- Industrial Electronics.
- Automatics and telemechanics.
- Economics and organization of radio electronic industry.
For improving of the professional level of vocational high education specialists,who work as heads of junior managers at the evening branch in 1984, a new specialty in theinstitute«organisationof production» was opened with a reduced period of education - 4 years, only the Department «Economics, Organization and planning industry» of Ryazan Radio Engineering University and three departments of the Russian Universities have the right to prepare specialists on this speciality.
Similarly, for professionals with vocational high education specialist in 1986, was opened set on a specialty «electronic devices» and «Industrial Electronics», and in 1986 the «Radio engineering» with a reduced educational period of 4.5 years. Also in 1986 began preparation on specialty «Software computers and computer-aided system».
Admission of students on the evening faculty was continuously growing. In 70-80 years, admission on two eveningfaculties achieved350 people for eight specialties of the Institute. Number of studentsat this time achieved two thousand people. In 90s number of university entrants of the evening faculty began to decrease, and it was lead to unification of two departments into one in 1991 .
