The opening of the educational year at Politehnica University Timisoara had a special character this year, being the number 100. If in 1920 the Polytechnic School started its activity with 117 students, of which 89 enrolled in the first year and 28 in the preparatory year, in the year 2019- 2020 starts with more than 14000 students, in all forms of education, of which about 4800 are in the first years.

The festivities organized by the 10 faculties of the UPT started from 9:00 am, with the festive opening of the year at the Faculty of Automation and Computing, the largest faculty of the institution, with over 3000 students. The event was attended by the Mayor of Timișoara, Nicolae Robu, himself a faculty teacher, the Rector of UPT, Prof. eng. Viorel-Aurel Șerban, PhD, Vice-Rector prof. eng. Florin Drăgan, PhD, the faculty management, representatives of the economic environment, but also of the students.

The rector of Politehnica University Timisoara spoke to the students about the history, tradition, prestige and performance of the largest and most renowned higher education institution in the western part of the country, underlining the efforts that UPT has always made to ensure the best study conditions, accommodation and meals, for granting the largest scholarships in the country, but also for developing an enviable material base, with over 100 buildings, the most modern library in Romania, sports bases like no other university.

In the speeches from the celebrations organized by the faculties it was also mentioned that the generation now entering the UPT amphitheaters, the 100th generation, also has the privilege of witnessing important events, including 2020 - the Year of Politehnica in Timisoara, The centenary of the UPT, but also the ones that will take place in 2021, when Timisoara will be the European Cultural Capital. Thus, the encouragements for the students were not only to learn, but also to taste from the pleasures of student life.

As every year, the representatives of the economic environment were with the UPT and at the festivities, as they are, throughout the year. Most of them are graduates of the Timisoara Polytechnics, who have been in management positions or even owners of large companies. As they remarked, more in jest more seriously, as opposed to the period of their study, an encouraging fact is the increase in the number of students, their proportion among the total students of UPT being at present about 50%.

The students were able to find out, on this occasion, the very good career prospects they have as graduates of Politehnica University Timisoara, especially in today's increasingly technologized society.

Last but not least, the best students were awarded at the opening festivities of the school year.
