Master of Engineering Education 

Introduction

During recent decades, there have been many developments in higher education and the teaching-learning process worldwide. These developments necessitated research and planning in engineering education. Thus, to meet this need, "Engineering Education" courses have been designed and implemented. Today, many of the world's top universities offer Master's and Ph.D. programs in engineering education. In line with this trend, UNESCO Chair on Engineering Education (UCEE) designed the "Master of Engineering Education" with the initiative of the University of Tehran.  This program will be offered for international applicants in September 2021.

 

Objective

The purpose of this program is to train graduates, who have a background in engineering, with the new theories and principles of teaching-learning and retraining, planning, management, documentation, and evaluation in engineering education in academia and industry. These people will be able to fill the current gap in rethinking, rebuilding, and recreating engineering education.
