Romanian School of Fundamentals in Electrical EngineeringThe Department of Electrical Engineering in the The School of Bridges and Roads, Mines and Architecture has been established in 1905. Nicolae Vasilescu-Karpen (1870-1964), an associate professor at the University of Lille, France, has been appointed as the Director of this department. As a result of his efforts, this School has been transformed later into the Politehnica School of Bucharest. Vasilescu Karpen was the first rector of this university, serving in that capacity until 1940. Nicolae Vasilescu-Karpen has carried out intense research work for 55 years and has published works in the field of electricity and electrical engineering, electric batteries, elasticity, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, electrostatics, electromagnetism, electrochemistry. Constantin Budeanu (1886-1959) served as Nicolae Vasilescu-Karpen's assistant from 1916. He was a member of the first management board of the Romanian Electrotechnical Committee (1927). He actively participated in the adoption of the International System of Units (SI) and expressed concerns about metrology. Confirmation of his discoveries came when the International Electrotechnical Commission, convened in Stockholm, adopted the definitions proposed by the Romanian delegation, known as "V.A.R." (Volt-Ampere Reactive), an initiative of the Romanian engineer. He introduced the notions of reactive power and deforming power. His main scientific contribution remains the study of deforming electrical states. He published a monograph titled "Puissances réactives et fictives" (1927), which is cited in most studies on the deforming regime. Prof. Remus Răduleţ (1904-1984), the long time head of the Electrical Engineering Department in our university, is the founder of the Romanian school of Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering. A member of the Romanian Academy, Prof. Răduleţ has outstanding contributions in the electromagnetic field theory, and edited the Romanian Technical Lexicon. Prof. Răduleţ has been the president of the International Electrotechnical Commission (1964-1968), and coordinated its multilingual dictionary of electricity (1983). His work has been continued by his PhD students Prof. Alexandru Timotin (1925-2007) and Prof. Andrei Ţugulea (1928-2017), members of the Romanian Academy, as well as by a lot of professors and researchers in our department. Symposium TraditionIn the '70s a group of assistants and lecturers from the Department of Electrical Engineering in our university initiated the Seminar of Electrical Engineering Fundamentals which analyzed new works in this area. 23 years ago this seminar became the National Symposium on Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, considered as a prestigious meeting for the Romanian and foreign researchers in this field. The symposium experienced a significant institutional evolution 12 years ago, when it assumed the title of the International Symposium on Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering.
