Our e-learning programs bring flexibility to the university's existing educational services, offer high quality courses, and reduce the cost of education for all, regardless of their location and time zone. Our educational services are offered through Internet and therefore, the center can be termed as an online or virtual center. The fundamental advantage of our E-Learning Center is not only in the method of offering our services, but also in the employment of innovative educational practices. Our educational practices guarantee the training of effective and creative workforces for the future demands of a knowledge-based economy. The educational service sector in Iran needs the flexibility to respond to rapid innovations in learning in order to meet the required capacity of skilled and creative graduates. Our emphasis on quality and flexibility will definitely enable the center to train capable engineers with the necessary skills to compete in regional and international markets.
