Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers

Until the 1970s there were no economists on the water industry in Uzbekistan. This caused some serious problems in water consumption and utilization. In 1974, in order to solve this problem, a new branch was opened under the faculty of Hydro Technical Constructions", called the Economy of Water Industry and its Analysis. In 1976, this branch was set as the independent faculty and started working as one of the biggest parts of the institute. From the first years, about 50 students were invited to the university and in 1979 the first 50 students graduated from this faculty. After the independence of Uzbekistan, in 2015 the faculty was renamed to its current name: Water Industry Management. Nowadays, the dean of the faculty is docent Ibragimov Abdimalik Gapparovich. On the campus of the faculty, there are two language classes, four computer classes, and more than 20 study classes, which are supplied with modern education materials and information technologies.

The Water Industry Management faculty has seven departments:

• Information technologies
• Water industry economy
• Control under the water industry
• Theoretical economy
• Accounting and audit
• Foreign languages
• English language[13]

The history of the Hydro Melioration faculty can be separated into two parts: the Soviet Union times and the period after the independence of Uzbekistan. The past of the faculty is directly linked with the history of the university, which means that the faculty was created in 1923 and was the first faculty in the history of the university. In the first year, only eight students graduated from the faculty, and then there were 274 students and 49 professors. On 16 November 1934, the number of students increased rapidly to 705. The establishment of the faculty led to economic growth in Central Asia. After independence, the faculty was mixed with two different departments. Nowadays it has three main bachelor's degree branches:

• Mechanization of Water Industry and Melioration
• Ecology
• Hydro Energetics

The departments located in the faculty are:

• Ecology
• Physical education
• Physics
• Chemistry

Faculty of power supply of agriculture and water management was established after the World War, when there were high demands for workers in the agricultural industry. The faculty was created after mixing the two faculties of Mechanization of Hydro Melioration Works 1946 and Automating the Agricultural Industry 1962. It happened because of the 415th edict which was made by the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan, on 3 September 2004.

There are four departments in faculty of power supply of agriculture and water management:

• Electricity and renewable energy sources
• Technological breakthrough and simplification of automation and optimization
• Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics
• The use of electrical technologies and electrical appliance

• Life safety department
• Mechanization of hydromeliorative works
• The organization and technology of hydrometallic works
• Humanitarian subjects[14]

• Agricultural machinery
• Tractors and Automobiles
• Operation and repair of machines
• General technical sciences

Nowadays the dean of the Faculty of Hydrotechnical Constructions" is docent B.B. Xasanov. The history of the establishment goes back to 1946, when the first woman irrigator T.A. Kolpakova opened the Building of Small and Medium Hydroelectric-Stations faculty. After some years the faculty was called the Hydro Technical Building. However, big changes to the faculty came in the independence years of Uzbekistan. In 1991 the faculty was considered to be the department due to the changes in infrastructure. During those years, the faculty worked as part of the Center for Preparing the Irrigation Engineers" and from 1996 it became part of the Hydro Melioration faculty" and prepared professionals in the water industry building" field. After the edict made by the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan, the small department became the fully functioning faculty with the name Building of Irrigation Hydro Technical Constructions and Utilization. The faculty obtained its current name by the 311 edict which was made on 3 November 2015, by the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan. The four departments involved inside the faculty are:[15]

• Hydrotechnical Constructions constructions and engineering designs
• Use of water and pumping stations
• Theoretical and construction mechanics
• Drawing geometry and engineering graphics

The Faculty of land management was first established in 1945 under the name of Land Making. The faculty attained its current name in 2017. Nowadays, the dean of this faculty is Narbaev Sharaf. There are now 670 students involved with studies in this faculty. During its working period, the Utilization of Land and Land Cadaster faculty became one of the biggest educational places in Central Asia. Some students came from Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kirgizia, and Tajikistan. There are three bachelor's degree branches and two master's degree branches in the Utilization of Land and Land Cadaster faculty.

Bachelor's degree branches:

• Cadaster
• Land creation and land cadaster
• Profession education: land creation and land cadaster

Master's degree branches:

• Cartography
• Usage and controlling the land recourses

There are four departments located in this faculty:

• Geodesy and geoinformatics
• Land use
• State cadastres[16]
• Higher Mathematics

Every dormitory in students' town holds students from various faculties. Dormitory #2 holds 232 students from Automating and Mechanizing the Water Industry faculty and 44 students from Building of Irrigation Hydro Technical Construction and Usage faculty. Overall, dormitory 2 holds 276 students.

Dormitory #3 holds about 410 students from different faculties. There are four female students currently living in dormitory 3 who are from China.

Dormitory #4 holds 385 students from different faculties., including seven international students.

Buildings 6 and 7 mainly serve university staff representatives and young scientists. There are 162 rooms in those buildings and 607 people living there.

Every building is provided with solutions for the essential needs of every individual. There are sport halls, kitchens, reading halls, and restrooms in each level of the buildings. They all are fully provided with gas and electric energy. In addition, there is a small library in the student's town, and it works by its working graphic daily. This means that even though students are may be away from the university, they can deal with their studies in that library. The library provides the students with most of the textbooks. The kitchen rooms of the dormitories are provided with tables, chairs, and ovens. Students can cook there. Each room in the buildings of students' town is fully functional and supplied with an emergency exit. This means that fire emergency problems are covered fully.[18]

Yunusabad Academic Lyceum was first established under the Tashkent Irrigation and Mechanization of Agricultural Industry Engineers Institute in 1987, with another name of Universal Technical Lyceum". However, after the independence of Uzbekistan by the edict of the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan on 23 September 1998, the name of the lyceum must have been changed. This edict was done only after the year, on 2 September 1999, and was renamed and re-established by the edict number 406 to Yunusabad Academic Lyceum.

International House in Tashkent is one of the two lyceums which were established under the name of Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers. However, the lyceum first was opened as the education center in 1993, in order to inherit educational processes and techniques from the developed countries of the United Kingdom and the US. The lyceum was located in the center of the Tashkent city, and it is easy to find its location, by the metro station Hamid Olimjon. In 2007 by the edict of Islam Karimov, the simple education center was fully set to be the academic lyceum, and was given under the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Melioration. In 2009, for making the academic lyceum fully standard with the world's requirements, reconstruction works were established. The education in the lyceum is based on the Uzbekistan's educational standards, and held in two different faculties, Exact Sciences and Social-Humanitarian Sciences.

In 2011 International House academic lyceum published their own magazine catalog, which tells all about the lyceum. The magazine was named We are Inter House!
