The article describes beginnings of the Polish higher electrotechnical education. in the first stage of its development during the period of the partitions of Poland, the pioneer role was performed by the only Polish university in Lvov. the second stage was the interwar period, when the second Polish University with electrotechnical department was created in Warsaw. The Warsaw Technical University was set up in 1915 and it could properly function only after Polish-Bolshevik War od 1920. that stage was marked by exceptionally rapid increase in its research personnel. during just several years, a European major University came into being. University teachers and alumni of the Lvov and Warsaw universities joined the ranks of electrotechnical fields of study of the School of Mining engineering in Kraków (set up in 1919) and universities created in the years 1945-1946 in: Gdańsk, Gliwice, Łódź, Poznań, Wrocław and Szczecin. they were opened after the 2nd World War, which marked the third stage in the development of Polish higher electrotechnical education.

The article introduces the electrotechnical activity of Ignacy Mościcki, an outstanding scientist, technician, and later President of the 2nd Polish Republic. It is stressed that versatility was his main characteristics that made him so unusual. He was active in all fields of electrotechnology, as an inventor, constructor, technologist, and finally as an organiser of production and business activist, despite the fact that he was not a university graduate. He invented nitrogen from the air with the use of electricity and also constructed electric equipment to obtain it. It contained high voltage capacitors, unrivalled at that time, called “Mościcki’s capacitors”. He invented and implemented new applications for his capacitors in energetics, lightning protection technology, and in radio engineering.
