Faculty Structure
Dean's Message
Established in 1928 as the first university of technology in Iran, KNTU has played a significant role in training engineers and researchers in the country and worldwide. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, the largest and most experienced faculty in the KNTU complex, is one of the most influential engineering faculties in Iran. The faculty has become one of the leading electrical engineering facilities of the country thanks to its human resources and advanced research facilities. The faculty is among the top rated in the field of electrical engineering according to national and world rankings.
In addition to its national industrial and research projects in the fields of telecommunication, electronics, control, power, medical, and mechatronics engineering, the faculty has conducted valuable research on knowledge and on a global scale. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering is the leading national center in industrial control and calculation and characterization of electromagnetic devices and subsystems. Its advanced laboratory network, while participating in the educational and research activities of the university, provides excellent technical and laboratory services to industries in various fields. Its highly active student groups participate in national and international competitions each year, among which, the robotics group is praiseworthy due to the national and international honors it has bring to the university and the country. Its faculty members have achieved honors at national level. Titles such as the Country’s Elite Professor, the Country’s Top Scientist, the Country’s Leading Scientist selected by the Academy of Sciences, the Country’s Young Scientist selected by the Academy of Sciences, and the National Book of the Year are among the honors these esteemed faculty members have achieved so far.
The faculty has a long history of national and international collaboration with a number of national and international universities, including the collaboration programs with the University of Picardy, France in the field of medical engineering and the University of Hanover, Germany in the field of power engineering. The faculty plans to expand its regional and international collaboration even more.
We are determined to play our role in the development of science and technology and increase our impact on society with the support of the faculty members, students and our facilities.
