11. Department Mechanics and Strength of Materials - History
Polytechnic School in Timisoara was established in 1920, shortly after the union of Romanian territories.
The Strength of Materials Laboratory was opened in 1923 in the presence of King FERDINAND and Prime Minister I. C. BRATIANU.
The lab was equipped with the support of the Rector of Politehnica School from Timisoara professor Traian LALESCU and Strength of Materials professor C. C. TEODORESCU.
First tests with students were held in 1923, and the first student “Laboratory notebook” was published in 1924.
In 1931 the laboratory was visited by King CAROL the Second and Prime Minister N. IORGA.
