TTU was established on 17 September 1918, when the Estonian Engineering Society uniting local technology intellectuals began to provide special engineering courses in German-occupied Estonia.

Estonia was Christianized in the 13th century. The Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church (EELC) has grown out of the Reformation of the 16th century.

Major emergencies such as plane and train crashes are critical incidents that are typically complex, initially chaotic, and often challenging to manage. These incidents require a team-based approach in which the activities and efforts of those involved are effectively co-coordinated and adequately directed. Good communication, effective use of resources and information, and a clear command policy are essential if the many problems arising from such incidents are identified, prioritized, and resolved. Officers' training to develop these command skills requires a learning environment where the complexity, chaos, and challenge of a real incident are recreated. This is w…
