The commission was established in 2003 thanks to the initiative, organisational ability, and inspiration provided by PAU member Roman Ciesielski. It is made up of seven sections: civil engineering and construction; mechanical engineering and technology; ceramic engineering and technology; computer science, automation and robotics, metallurgy and materials engineering; mining and energy; biocybernetics, and biomedical engineering. The commission has set itself the task of intensifying the cross-fertilisation of ideas and methods between technical sciences and other fields of science and art. This can inspire research that underpins technical progress and the popularisation of the technical achievements that are part of our everyday lives. It would also be a source of satisfaction to the commission if its activities served to bring together representatives of the various fields of technology and if, through them, it were able to influence the integration of the technical sciences within society as a whole.
The commission meets both for plenary sessions and gatherings of the sections. Following the death of Roman Ciesielski in 2004, Ryszard Tadeusiewicz was selected as chair of the commission. His successor, who took up the post in 2009, was PAU member Zbigniew Moser.
The activities of the commission followed the same pattern under his leadership. At this time, however, activity in the sections was in decline.
When in 2011 Zenon Waszczyszyn became chair of the commission, its members abandoned its sectional structure and it began operating as a single body. In this configuration it has carried out both general tasks for technical sciences and specific activities in the fields of: energy engineering; computer science, automation and robotics; civil engineering; mechanical engineering, and materials science since 2016.
The position of chair of the Technical Sciences Commission, which functions within the structure of Faculty III Science and Technology, was taken up by Kazimierz Furtak in 2016.
