The Faculty of Transport and Mechanical Engineering (FTME) is the successor of the Machine Engineering Department of Riga Polytechnic School, founded in 1864. Over the years its name has been changed several times. The Faculty of Transport and Mechanical Engineering of RTU, consolidating a number of departments of the former Faculty of Appliance Engineering and Automation of RTU, faculties of Mechanics, Radio Engineering and Computer Systems of the former Aviation University and departments of the former Institute of Railway Transport has became one of the largest at RTU and uses its experience in order to implement new study programmes and accomplish research activities.

Approximately 1300 students are enrolled on studies at FTME. The personnel of the Faculty consists of 130 teaching staff and 50 support staff members, including more than 30 professors who are heads of institutes, chairs, professor groups and research laboratories. In this study year approx. 320 new students were enrolled on the State budget funded study groups.

The students at FTME have a wide range of options for choosing their study programme and at a later stage of their studies – the area of professional specialization in accordance with their interests and abilities. Students from abroad can be enrolled on the study programmes at the Faculty after concluding a contract with the RTU Department of Foreign Students or after engagement in SOCRATES/ERASMUS exchange programmes.
