Trends in Georgian Engineering Developments
Georgia is the country where reserchers traditionally and successfully were and
are dealt with the problems belonged to different scientific fields. Among these
scientific fields it is necessary to emphasize research activity in various
engineering spheres, where the authority of scientists and appropriate research
entities of our country are unshakably high for the modern scientific world.

fields of activity, as
-
information technologies, cybernetics and automatic
systems, metallurgy and chemical technologies, nano technologies, biotechnology,
machine building, aeronautics and astronautics, civil engineering and architect,
communications, power engineering, transport, mining and geology, etc.
It is necessary to emphasize that engineering activity in the country basically is
concentrated at Georgian Technical University, where beside of researchers from
different departments, 14 scientific institutes and 51 centers of science are
successfully performing various engineering activity.
