History

• The origins of IUST lie in 1929, when the Iranian state created the Governmental Technical Institute in Tehran so that the country could train its own engineers rather than send students abroad.伊朗科技大学的源头在 1929 年，伊朗政府于德黑兰创办「政府技术学院」，以便本国自主培养工程师，而无须把学生送往海外。

• Soon after its foundation the school was renamed Honarsara-ye Ali, rendered in English as the Advanced Art College, a title that reflected its early blend of applied arts and technical instruction.建校不久，学校改名为「هنرسرای عالی」，英文译作 Advanced Art College（高级艺术学院），这一名称折射出其早期应用艺术与技术教学并重的取向。

• In 1932 the institute produced its first Iranian graduate in machine engineering, an early milestone for a country that until then had relied largely on foreign-trained technical staff.1932 年，学院培养出首位机械工程专业的伊朗毕业生；对一个此前主要依赖海外培养技术人才的国家而言，这是一座早期里程碑。

• Three years later, in 1935, a second landmark followed when the first Iranian chemical-engineering graduate completed his studies at the same institution.三年后即 1935 年，第二座里程碑到来，首位化学工程专业的伊朗毕业生在同一所学府完成学业。

• In 1958 the institute began enrolling students for master's programmes and adopted the name Tehran Institute of Technology, abbreviated TIT, its first step beyond undergraduate training.1958 年，学院开始招收硕士研究生，并启用「德黑兰技术学院」（Tehran Institute of Technology，缩写 TIT）之名，首次跨出本科培养之外。

• In 1963 the institute transferred to its present location in Narmak, in the north-east of Tehran, where the main campus has remained ever since.1963 年，学院迁往现址——德黑兰东北部的纳尔马克，主校区自此沿用至今。

• By 1972 the growth of the institution persuaded the Ministry of Sciences to upgrade the college to the Iran Faculty of Science and Technology, a step that brought four-year bachelor's degrees in most branches of engineering.至 1972 年，学院的壮大促使科学部将其升格为「伊朗科学技术学院」，由此在多数工程门类开设四年制学士学位。

• The faculty was, for many years, the first and only engineering institution in the country to house a School of Architecture, giving architectural training a home within a technical university.该学院在多年间是伊朗最早也是唯一设有建筑学院的工程院校，使建筑学教育在技术大学内部获得立足之地。

• In 1978 the Ministry of Sciences granted the institution full university status, and it took the name it still bears, Iran University of Science and Technology.1978 年，科学部授予该校完全的大学地位，它随即启用沿用至今的名称——伊朗科技大学。

• Doctoral training arrived in 1990, when the university admitted its first Ph.D. candidates in Civil Engineering and Materials Engineering.博士培养始于 1990 年，该校首次招收土木工程与材料工程方向的博士研究生。

• Five years later, in 1995, IUST awarded Iran's first Ph.D. degrees in Materials Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering and Traffic Engineering, an event that established its research credentials nationally.五年后即 1995 年，伊朗科技大学颁发了该国首批材料工程、冶金工程与交通工程博士学位，此举确立了其全国性的科研资历。

• On 28 March 2026, during the 2026 Iran war, the university was bombed by Israeli forces, and one of the buildings within the complex was reduced to rubble.2026 年 3 月 28 日，在 2026 年伊朗战争期间，该校遭以色列军队轰炸，校园内一栋建筑被夷为平地。

• Nationally the university belongs to the UT5, the consortium of Iran's five leading technical universities, which pools expertise in engineering education and research.在全国层面，该校属于伊朗五所顶尖技术大学组成的 UT5 联盟，该联盟在工程教育与研究上汇聚合力。

• Since 1932 the institution has graduated more than 50,000 students, a figure that charts its expansion from a single technical institute to a multi-school university.自 1932 年以来，该校已培养逾 5 万名毕业生，这一数字记录了它从单一技术学院成长为一所多学院大学的过程。

• The renamings of 1958, 1972 and 1978 trace a deliberate progression from an emphasis on the applied arts towards a full engineering and science university.1958 年、1972 年与 1978 年的三次更名，勾勒出一条从偏重应用艺术到建成完整理工科大学的清晰演进路径。

• The 1963 move to Narmak coincided with the rapid northward growth of Tehran, placing the campus within a planned residential district close to the expanding capital.1963 年迁往纳尔马克，恰逢德黑兰向北快速扩张，校区因此落在紧邻首都扩张区的规划居住区内。

• After the 1979 revolution the university continued under the new Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, retaining its engineering orientation through the following decades.1979 年伊斯兰革命后，该校在新设的科学、研究与技术部管辖下继续办学，在此后数十年间保持其工程取向。

• The main campus grew to accommodate fifteen schools and three other departments, supported by 380 members of academic staff.主校区扩展至容纳十五个学院与三个其他院系，配有 380 名教研人员。

• Before the 2026 bombing the university had consolidated its position among Iran's foremost technical schools through research centres devoted to cement, composites and information technology.在 2026 年遭轰炸之前，该校已通过水泥、复合材料与信息技术等研究中心，巩固了其在伊朗顶尖技术院校中的地位。

• The institute was founded in 1929 during the reign of Reza Shah, in the same years in which the Iranian state was building the Trans-Iranian Railway, completed in 1938, and founding Tehran University in 1934 as part of a wider modernisation drive.学院创办于礼萨汗执政的 1929 年，与伊朗国家修筑纵贯伊朗铁路（1938 年竣工）、创办德黑兰大学（1934 年）等更广泛的现代化举措处于同一时期。

• When it moved to Narmak in 1963 the institute gained purpose-built lecture halls, laboratories and dormitories, and these buildings became the physical core of the campus that survives today.1963 年迁往纳尔马克时，学院获得了专门建造的讲堂、实验室与宿舍，这些建筑成为今日校园的物质核心。
