M. Eng. CURRICULUM
M.Eng. degree involves lectures, laboratory classes, tutorials and seminars for two semesters followed by written examination in each taught subjects, successfull students then proceed to a dissertation research project supervised by a member of the accademic staff.
Students are required to attend all classes and seminars held at the school. The minimum passing mark for every subject is 12, out of 20. The students are required to attain an average term mark of 14. If the students attain an average term mark less than 14 in two semester, they can not proceed their education in university.
The Total number of credit-hours required for a M.Eng. course is 32 out of which 24 credits related to the courses and the rest to the research project. A graduate student admitted with deficiencies in academic background may be required to take collateral courses in addition to the prescribed courses of programme. Credits earned in collateral courses do not count toward the minimum credit requirements for M.Eng. degree.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
1. Possessing a bachelor , s degree in metallurgy, materials science, chemical engineering, physics, or mechanical engineering.
2. Succeeding in the nationwide M.Sc. Entrance Examination (MEE) adminstrated by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
Teaching and examinations at the department are in persian. Most sources of studies, however, are available in English. Thus, for success in a course of study, or doing research, good Persian and acceptable English level are essential Students need to cope with reading, note taking from lectures, books and journals and other materials. Further, they should be capable of speaking Persian and English in an accepted standard level during their seminars and tutorials.
DISSERTATION & EVALUATION
From the second term onwards, the students have to select an approved project proposal as their research subject.The dissertation, when completed, will be defended by the student before a commitee consists of one or two internal examiners and an invited external examiner. This committee is vested with the authority to evaluate the dissertation and to announce their assessment as excellent, good, acceptable or unsatisfactory. The grades and the related marks which students may obtain on their dissertations are as follows.
MARKS | GRADS |
17-20 14-17 12-14 below 12 | excellent good acceptable unsatisfactory |
SEMINARS
The department runs an active postgraduate seminars at which students are able to present original and review papers and develop their own ideas. In addition, there is a lecture series in which distinguished speakers address members of staff as well as students on a wide range of topical themes.

PhD PROPGRAMME
The PhD programme consists of two distinct stages. The first one is a course-work stage that begins with the student <>, s enrollment in the courses upon gaining admission to the programme, and the second stage is doing a research project as partial fulfilment of PhD degree. This can be started after completing the course-work stage and passing the related comprehensive exams.
REGULATIONS
The first stage of PhD studies should be completed within a time period not exceeding 4 semesters (i.e. 2 years). The length of PhD studies is usually 4 years which may under special circumstances be extended for one more year, pending to the agreement of university academic council. PhD studies is also based on credit-hour units, and the total number of credits in the first stage of PhD study is 16. The candidates carry a loadwork of 6 to 10 credit-hours each term, unless the remaining credit-hours for the last term is less than 6.
The minimum passing mark for a PhD subject is 14, out of 20, and students are allowed to repeat those subjects in which they obtained less. Students who have passed the formal PhD subjects may participate in the comprehensive exam held under the supervision of postgraduate committee of the university. The comprehensive exam consists of written and oral sections and a minimum mark of 14 out of 20 is regarded as the pass mark, below which the student may repeat the exam for only one more time. The second stage of the PhD programme can be started by the students who pass the comprehensive exam. At the beginning of this stage, academic staff or students submit research proposals for the research work of PhD students to the postgraduate board of the department. Once a proposal meets the approval of the board a student may begin his or her research work under the supervision of a supervisor to whom he or she periodically report the progress of his or her work.
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
Teaching and examinations at the department are in persian. Most sources of studies, however, are available in
English. Thus, for success in a course of study, or doing research, good Persian and acceptable English level are essential Students need to cope with reading, note taking from lectures, books and journals and other materials. Further, they should be capable of speaking Persian and English in an accepted standard level during their ceminars and tutorials.
PhD THESIS EVALUATION
After completion, PhD thesis is presented and defended before a committee set out by postgraduate board of the
department. The assessment of the committee for the defended thesis may be, excellent, fair or acceptable if they found it satisfactory and unacceptable or equivalent to M.Eng. if unsatisfactory.
