School of Mech. Eng. (ME)

Since Mechanical Engineering has long covered the broadest range of topics in engineering related disciplines, today’s mechanical engineers are also expected to handle serious challenges associated with industries and the society: sustainable and renewable energy systems, environment-friendly production systems and material designs and manufacturing, design of high-quality mechanical and mechatronics systems at low cost, playing an integral role in development of modern products demanding multi-disciplinary approaches, to name a few.
To address such challenges, The School of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at IUST participates in the development of the scientific and academic system of the country in national and international arenas, and develops higher education with excellent quality, theoretical and practical education of students in different fields and levels, and provides specialized, efficient and committed human resources.
For the following reasons, enthusiastic candidates might decide to choose ME for pursuing their study:

  •  The school has an excellent record in educating undergraduate students undergoing an intensive and flexible program with an emphasis on fundamental analytical skills for solving practical problems. Additionally, the experimental and research talents of the students are also improved through the various educational and research lab works offered.
  • The world-class faculties of the school holding a broad range of expertise and specializations have been and are supervising graduate students towards outstanding achievements specially during recent decades. This is partly reflected by the ever-improving position of the school in well-recognized international university ranking systems.
  •  The graduated students of the school are capable of both pursuing a professional practice of engineering and/or contributing to the state-of-the-art scientific researches, depending on their ambitions and background.

The ME aims to offer more advanced and flexible degree programs for internationals with the hope to facilitate cultural and scientific exchanges specially with the nations in the region.

Academic Programs

BSc Programs

The mission of the undergraduate program in ME is to provide an excellent educational experience for its students. This experience includes an emphasis on the technical, communication, teamwork and life-long learning skills that graduate engineers need to succeed, in both the workplace and society in general. The mechanical engineering program is structured to prepare the graduate for the professional practice of engineering and/or graduate school. The curriculum emphasizes a rigorous treatment of the mathematical and scientific approach to the solution of engineering problems. It provides a coherent set of courses in energy conversion and structures/motion in mechanical systems. The program has been designed across the curriculum and is capped with an integrated design experience in the form of a senior project.
The undergraduate program is only presented in Persian. Therefore, the international students interested to pursue their undergraduate studies in our school need to take the Persian courses first and then apply to the program. Please check our Persian website for more information about our undergraduate studies program.

MSc Programs

The Master of Science programs in ME focus on providing a deeper treatment of relevant mathematical and technical topics as well as research-related skills in 6 dedicated special fields, namely Applied Mechanics, Aerospace, Biomechanics, Energy Conversion, Manufacturing, and Mechatronics. The programs are offered in both Persian and English (though, the English programs are only offered upon demand), and in two basic schemes:

Research-Based Scheme:
The research-based program includes some coursework at the beginning of the degree followed by an individual independent research under the supervision of a faculty member, and usually requires the submission of a thesis for graduation. This degree has 32 minimum course credits requirements as outlined in the below courses. It is a flexible program which includes a Graduate Seminar (2 credits) followed by a Thesis (6 credits). The remaining credits are to be fulfilled by the 8 courses offered by the distinguished faculty members.

Course-Based Scheme:
This is a professional program requiring students to complete a number of courses to obtain a degree, without the need for submission of a research thesis, but the program may include major projects. Students are required to pass 10 discipline-related 3-credit courses (as outlined in the below table) offered by the distinguished faculty members and a Graduate Seminar which accounts for 2 credits; hence, a total of 32 credits.

Overview:

A design engineer is in charge of appropriate designing of engineering structures as well as machinery and their parts. These days along with advancements in technology, assigned missions to design engineers are more than ever, complex in nature. Design and production of machinery or parts performing in high speed or temperature that has to be very endurable and weigh far less than before are routine task of engineers. Moreover, these parts and machinery would have to be environment friendly possess noticeable aesthetics and while having dimensions of extra ordinary magnitude, need to be made in a very economical manners.

Department of Applied Design at IUST’s School of Mechanical Engineering provides courses and research topics of those objectives for students to ensure their prosperity and enhancement in design and other related engineering activities. This will enable the graduates to play a role in assisting the related industries throughout the country.

PhD Programs

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs in ME are meant for interested researchers who are willing to get in-depth knowledge of mechanical engineering and to become an independent scientist of the chosen specialization.
The PhD programs for international candidates normally take three years of full-time study and research to complete. The candidates are required to develop a research proposal during the first year and turn the proposed ideas to a set of novel, original, verifiable, and measurable research outcomes through the last two years. PhD candidates must successfully complete one or two advisory courses (taken individually with an instructor upon a recommendation by the supervisor), and a thesis presenting their scientific research outcomes.
The programs are offered in both Persian and English, and there is basically no application deadline as the ME constantly considers PhD applications. Please refer to “Admission” in the sequel for more information.
