Socio-economic Systems
The Socio-Economic Systems Department which has been operating since 1992 is dedicated to training and research in planning and designing various community-based systems. These systems are commonly present at different dimensions in a region or country, some of which include: systems of transportation, water supply and sewage, communications, transportation and distribution of goods, supply and distribution of energy and educational or healthcare services. In these systems, each part of the socio-economic and technological dimensions is of particular importance. Socio-economic engineering studies the modeling and scientific analysis of such systems by considering their different dimensions and also the needs, priorities and facilities of the community, in order to design the best system. The most sophisticated systems are systems that are related to humans or a group of humans. For this reason, economic and social systems dealing with human beings are classified into the most complex systems in terms of analysis, behavior prediction and control. This department admits students in three branches of economic systems, transportation and operations research at master level. Objective
The socio-economic systems engineering is concerned with the study and planning of the various systems needed by a community. These systems are commonly found in different dimensions in a region or country. Socio-economic systems engineering studies the modeling and scientific analysis of such systems by considering the different dimensions of them regarding the needs of the community, in order to design the best system for it.
