The Electrical Engineering Department of Sharif University of Technology (SUT) was founded in 1967, one year after the establishment of Sharif University of Technology, in order to address the technical needs of the Iranian industry. While initially offering an undergraduate program with emphasis on education, the EE department has since evolved into country’s top electrical engineering institute with international-level research and constant influx of the best students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Today, the EE department hosts more than 1000 undergraduate students, 600 graduate students (both MSc and PhD), more than 70 professors. Research activities in the EE department cover diverse areas in Communications, Electronics, Electric Power Engineering, Control Engineering, Digital Systems, and Bio-Electric Engineering. The EE department accommodates 30 research laboratories and three national centers of excellence. Overall it is the mission of the department to encourage and support young researchers to carry out state of the art research, and use its outcome to address the needs of the Iranian industry.
