The School of Chemical Engineering of Iran University of Science and Technology began its activities as Iran’s first chemical engineering school with its first graduate in 1935. Over the past many decades, in addition to playing a key role in Iran’s scientific and industrial developments it has been a national reference with its new innovations in scientific activities.

It serves as a reliable center for research and education. The School admits about 60 undergraduate and 90 postgraduate students each year including approximately 87 Ph.D. students. 27 faculty members are teaching approximately 212 B.Sc., 250 M.Sc., and 87 Ph.D. students at the moment. Due to the quality of the services the school’s graduates are often employed by the local industry during their education or soon after. Many of our graduates have managed significant achievements at the national and international level.

The department is also equipped with four laboratories used as training centers for the school B.Sc. students. The educational and research activities of the school within the past four years can be summarized as follows.

  – Winning over 60 research contracts form the local industry.

  – Publication of over 250 journal papers in highly accredited science and engineering journals at national and international levels.

  – Presentation of over 600 papers in national and international scientific conferences.

  – Publication of 4 titles of books in the field of chemical engineering.

  – Winner of two best national researcher awards by faculty members:

  – Winner of a third place of Khwarizmi Festival Award by a faculty member

  – Registration of over 30 patents at national and international levels.
