School of Mechanical Engineering

  School of mechanical engineering at IUST was established in 1932. The school offers programs leading to undergraduate and graduate studies. There are a total of 40 faculty members in the school. Faculties are mostly involved in conducting funded research and supervising graduate students.

  Research activities at ME Department of IUST are funded either by the university research office or through joint ventures between the university and interested industries.

  School's exclusive library contains over 6500 volumes of technical books in Persian and English languages in addition to an archive of 50 scientific journals. It is also equipped with an advanced inter library loan services (ILLS) system that enables it to request books from other national libraries.

  There are three separate computer centers for undergraduate students, graduate students, and the CAD/CAM Laboratory in the Technology Research Center. A host of well-known Engineering Codes are widely available for use at the school on both PCs and workstations. More than 20 well-equipped laboratories and workshops along with updated research facilities have created a suitable environment for graduate studies and research activities.

  Mechanical engineering department at IUST has a long and shining history of research at national and international levels. Most noteworthy achievements of research activities within the past four years are included but not limited in the following:

•    Publication of 185 journal papers in highly accredited engineering journals at national and international levels.
•    Exceeding 600 conference papers in scientific and engineering gatherings.
•    Translation and authorship of 18 titles of books in mechanical engineering.
•    Recipient of distinguished national professorship award on two occasions.
•    Recipient of best national research professor award.
•   Recipient of third place title in highly prestigious international Kharazmy engineering and invention award.
•   First through third place prize recipient at young Kharazmy international engineering and invention contest by students on five occasions.
•    Recipient of 33 patents in engineering at the national level.
