The School of Civil Engineering is one of the most successful schools in relaying of up to date knowledge and conducting research in the field of civil engineering. At present there are 40 full time faculty members. Having a long experience of undergraduate teaching, the School has initiated its activities at the graduate level since 1983 and continued its efforts to expand the number of fields toward graduate degrees. Currently there are 10 master and 7 Ph.D. programs. Many master and Ph.D. dissertations have valuable practical and theoretical applications, based on which an abundant number of articles have been published in national and international journals.

  With regard to such accomplishments along with outstanding and ongoing educational and research activities of the students and faculty members at various educational levels, the School of Civil Engineering was awarded the title of "the Eminent School of Civil Engineering in the Country" in the year 1992, by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.

  The School has been also acknowledged as “the Center of Excellence” in the field of Structures since 2000. Also the post doctoral program in the field of Structural Engineering was initiated in the school in the academic year 2001-2002 for the first time in Iran. In addition the School has established a Ph.D. program in Highway Engineering and Transportation and a Master program in Construction Engineering Management since the academic years 1991-1992, and 2002-2003, respectively. The first Ph.D. student in the field of Highway Engineering and Transportation in Iran has graduated from this School.

  Most noteworthy educational/research achievements of the School of Civil Engineering within the past four years are summarized as follows:

  - Publication of 353 journal papers in highly accredited engineering journals at national and international levels.

  - Publication of 630 conference papers in scientific and engineering events.

  - Authorship and translation of 39 titles of books in the field of Structural Optimization, Concrete Technology, Surveying, Structural Mechanics, Soil Mechanics, Soil Dynamics, Project Management, Highway Planning and Design, Traffic Engineering.

  - Receipt of distinguished national professorship award from the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology, 2005.

  - Receipt of distinguished researcher award of Iranian Ministry of Science, Research and Technology in the years 2004 and 2006.

  - Recipient of 6 patents at national levels for innovations.

  - Signing 24 industrial project contracts with ministries and companies such as the Ministry of Road and Transportation, Iran Water Resources Management Co., and National Iranian Oil Company.

  - The School has been acknowledged as "The Center of Excellence for Fundamental Research in Structural Engineering" since 2000.

 - The school has established two research centers on "Asphalt Mixtures and Bitumen" and "Transportation".
