History
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering is one of the first three faculties of the Technical University of Varna. The faculty is the successor of the Electrical department of the State University of "St. Cyril Slavyanobulgarski". In the years of 1947 to 1953 the department taught Electrical, Radio & Television and Electrical Power engineering. The first lectures were given in the State University (now the Economics University of Varna). The building of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering was finished in 1965. In the following years the faculty had departments in Electrics, energetics and other technology related subjects. By the end of the 1960s, facilities were set up to accommodate "Communications" and "Radio technology". In the 1970s new facilities were created to accommodate new technology, such as "Automation" and "Calculation technology". By the 1980s the name of the faculty was changed to the "Faculty of electrics, automation and electronics". The name was given back in 1990s.

Department of Electrical Engineering and Technologies
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Technologies was founded in 1963 and started the first academic year in 1964. The first name of the department was "Electrical machines and apparatus" (to the middle of the 1990s). The laboratories were equipped thanks to the support of the engineers: Mr. Atanassov Krusty, Dr. Nikola Todorovski, nurse Nikola Ivanov, Prof. DSc Dimitar Dimitrov, Boyan Bangiev Eng, Ivan Kerchev, Dr. Stoyan Peltekov. Today, the Technical University is proud[clarification needed] with the Electrical Engineering and Technologies Department, because more than 40 engineers who graduated in the department continue to work in the university. The hard work gave results, because many of the graduates now publish scientific articles, teaching materials, texbooks and have become assistants, assocoiate professors and professors. From the department had three rectors of Technical University of Varna: Prof. Petar Penchev, Prof. Doncho Donchev and Prof. Dimitar Dimitrov, and two deans of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering: Assoc. Prof. Maria Marinova, Assoc. Prof. Marinela Yordanova. Prof. Eng. Sava Kontrov is plugged[clarification needed] in the golden book[clarification needed] of inventors of Bulgaria.
