Grinevetsky (1871-1919) - Russian scientist in the field of heat engineering. In 1896 he graduated from the Imperial Moscow Technical School (hereinafter - I.M.T.S.) and stayed to work there: since 1900 - professor, since 1914 - director of the School. As a scientist V. I. Grinevetsky investigated workflows occurring in steam engines, boiler units and internal combustion engines. In 1905, he developed a scheme of boiler thermal calculation, based on correct understanding of heat transfer processes, and in 1906 - theory of economic calculation of a working process of a steam engine. For the first time in the world in 1907 he offered thermal calculation of internal combustion engine still underlying design and analysis of workflows of these engines. Important works were devoted to locomotives. He presented the project of transformation of Moscow Technical School into a higher school of polytechnic type. That meant in fact the reform of engineering education in the country. Keywords: history, engineering education, technical school, prospects of development, connection with practice, academic structure, reform. Grinevetsky, V. I.
