This department began its activity at graduate level in 1982 and for the first time in Iran it began to offer doctoral program in 1988. The BioSystems Engineering Department strives to provide students with the necessary skills to provide specialized staff for research, industrial and educational centers. Since its establishment, this department has managed to educate many graduates, most of whom are now serving as faculty members at various universities all over the country. In the past 5 years, the faculty members of this department have successfully performed numerous research projects, registered nearly 50 patent titles, published 10 books and book chapters as well as more than 400 articles in international journals, and presented more than 300 papers at scientific conferences (national and international).
