Sahand University of Technology (SUT) (Persian: دانشگاه صنعتی سهند, Danushgah-e Sân'ti-ye Sihend) Sahand University of Technology (SUT) as the first technical university in Iran after Islamic revolution was established in 1989 in Osku County. SUT offers over 20 BSc programs and more than 100 graduate programs of study in engineering, science and technology. More than half of students are enrolled in post-graduate programs including MSc and PhD. [citation needed]

At the moment, 32 research centers in various areas including Petroleum and Gas, Advanced Materials, Polymer, Environment, Nanotechnology, Stem Cells, Renewable Energy, ICT, Biotechnology, Mineral Processing, Structures, Automotive, Medical Engineering and Productivity are focusing on industrial problems. 400 research projects have been conducted, including increasing oilfield extraction coefficients, building solar power plants, producing biotechnology products, and registering several international and more than 200 national patents. An excellence pole of styrene polymers is the only active scientific hub in the field of polymer engineering in the northwestern region of the country, which focuses on research in the fields of polymers and styrene materials and interdisciplinary approaches.[citation needed]

The University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center houses dozens of companies and technology units. Furthermore, SUT’s academic staff and students have been awarded Energy Globe World award, Green Productivity Specialist of APO, the country top professor award in 2010 and 2018, the country top researcher award in 2011 and 2017, the Iranian academy of science distinguished young researcher awards in 2011 and 2017, membership of 7 faculty members in specialized higher education committees of the country, as well as student rewards received by student teams.[citation needed]

On the base of the Shanghai Ranking Report, SUT has been ranked among the top 150 or 200 universities in the field of metallurgical engineering, among the top 400 universities in the field of chemical engineering, and among the top 500 universities in science and energy engineering from 2018 to 2020 in a row.[1]
