The Department of Fundamental Education was created in the structure of the MGSU Branch in Mytishchi in 2021. It took over the educational disciplines previously implemented by the Department of Applied Mechanics and Mathematics.
One of the initiators of the scientific process organization at the MGSU Branch in Mytishchi was the Deputy General Designer of Rocket and Space Corporation “Energia” named after Sergey P. Korolev, the Director of International Scientific and Technical Center for Payloads of Space Objects (ISTC PNCO), D.Eng.Sc., Professor Vladimir P. Nikitskiy . He graduated from Russian Chemical Technical University named after D.I. Mendeleev in 1961. In 1992 he defended his doctoral dissertation at RSC Energia in the field of technologies for building research modules of space stations in the unsupported space of orbital flight.
In 1988 Vladimir P.Nikitskiy in cooperation with the Director of the branch, D.Eng.Sc., Professor Yuriy P.Pravdivtsev and Vice-Rector for Science at MISI, D.Eng.Sc., Professor Ivan Kh. Kostin initiated the establishment of the Regional Department of Industrial and Civil Engineering, based at the MGSU Branch of in Mytishchi. Until 1991 it was planned that the training of specialists at the Department would be implemented for transfer of advanced space technologies and materials to industrial and civil land construction, as well as selecting the best graduates to work in the space industry in related fields of engineering.

discussing the program of scientific research conducted on board of the International Space Station,
2009
Professor Vladimir P. Nikitskiy made the main contribution not only to the funding of the Department, but also to formation of natural science disciplines and personnel of the Department of Applied Mechanics and Mathematics in the Regional Department. Starting in 1988 P.V Nikitskiy. in cooperation with the Scientific Secretary of International Scientific and Technical Center for Payloads of Space Objects (ISTC PNCO), Head of the Branch Research Laboratory of Roscosmos at MISI (MGSU), Honorary Inventor of the USSR, Honorary Doctor of Sciences, Professor Mikhail S. Khlystunov formed fundamental and applied world-class scientific reserve for scientific activity at the Department of Applied Mechanics and Mathematics. This reserve was obtained from research results of the scientific school founded by prof. Nikitskiy, operating on the basis of its own discoveries, theories and methods within the framework of the International Scientific and Technical Center for Payloads of Space Objects.

Khlystunov is the author of over 400 scientific papers, including four discoveries, two scientific monographs and more than 100 inventions. In 1989 Mikhail S. Khlystunov was appointed the Head of industry research laboratory of large-sized structures of Roscosmos in MISI-MGSU. In 1999 - 2016 he worked at the Laboratory at the International Scientific and Technical Center for Payloads of Space Objects (ISTC PNCO) and also taught students at the Department of Applied Mechanics and Mathematics. In 2005 – 2011 he held the position of MGSU Deputy Vice-rector for scientific work.
Mikhail S. Khlystunov with colleagues made 4 discoveries in the field of cosmogenic and quantum patterns of the formation of extreme seismic, wind and temperature loads on building structures. He developed a method and theory of vibroacoustic analogies for design modeling of seismic and explosion resistance of multi-resonance building structures.
