The President of Qom University of Technology: An important principle in organizational management is aligning and harmonizing various parts of the organization that pursue shared goals and programs, an effort that was led by the institution of the Supreme Leader at Qom University of Technology.
According to the university's public relations office; Dr. Jalal Rezaei Noor, the President of Qom University of Technology, congratulated on the occasion of the Fajr decade during the webinar of the Fajr Revolution Commemoration Working Group, stating that the university began its activities in 2008 with two fields: Computer Engineering and Industrial Engineering, and currently has more than two thousand students enrolled in eight undergraduate programs and 16 master's programs.
He stated that regarding the goals and philosophy behind the establishment of Qom University of Technology: The city of Qom is situated among the industrial cities of Arak, Saveh, Tehran, etc., and there was a need for the provision of manufactured goods and products in the downstream petrochemical, mineral and non-metallic, and parts manufacturing industries to supply the neighboring industrial cities. This gap prompted the establishment of Qom University of Technology in Qom Province to provide skilled professionals in these industries, especially since Qom Province is located among eight industrial towns and four industrial zones, leading to an increasing demand for graduates in industrial fields.
He noted that in the 99 Monitoring Plan report, the Research and Technology office of the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology announced that Qom University of Technology achieved first place in undergraduate employment among universities in the country with an 82% employment rate, stating: This achievement came under conditions where the average budget allocation per student for regional and industrial universities was 13 million, while at Qom University of Technology, it was 10 million.
Rezaei Noor continued: As part of the industry partner program, students who must complete an internship are organized into four-member teams along with a professor, and they visit companies referred to by the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade to identify and analyze the industrial needs and issues of these companies based on field studies. They also provide solutions to the companies, which has made the internship period for students more targeted and increased their chances of being hired by these companies.
The President of Qom University of Technology emphasized that in recent years efforts have been made to recruit the most distinguished professors from among graduates of the best universities in the country, stating: Young professors, in addition to having good connections with industry, are also well-acquainted with the needs of the industry, which involves students in industrial projects.
He added that scientific and entrepreneurial associations have become more active to address the skills gaps of students, stating: The development of the university's innovation center is seriously pursued, and the establishment of a startup empowerment club in 2017 significantly aided the connection between ideas, innovative projects, and startups, as well as addressing business needs.
Rezaei Noor stated that Qom University of Technology is a young and new university, noting: Since 2019, over 90% of the university's activities have been conducted online, which is why we did not face many difficulties after the outbreak of COVID-19.
Regarding the cultural achievements of Qom University of Technology, he stated: An important principle in organizational management is aligning and harmonizing various parts of the organization that pursue shared goals and programs, which was carried out under the leadership of the Supreme Leader, mentioning that the Jihadi group Basij al-Taha has always been among the high-ranking organizations in the country since its inception. Furthermore, a good relationship has been established between the seminary and the university, and we conduct multiple meetings and discussions with seminary figures for the exchange of ideas.
He pointed out that industrial projects are not limited to professors and occur in all universities, stating: A submarine designed and built by students in 2017 won second place at the Sea Festival for its path to advancement.
He emphasized that multiple projects are underway in conjunction with the Jihad University, Shahid Fahmidi Center, various industries, etc., stating: The Voice System (Industry, University, and Elevation) has been launched to assess the needs of industrial units.
He added: Qom University of Technology has achieved titles such as top researcher in basic sciences, top researcher in engineering sciences, top innovator in the province, and top student researcher among 33 higher education centers in the province. Additionally, the statistics for article publications in international journals show a 37% growth, and the volume of contracts and university projects has increased by 20%.
He discussed interactions with the Jihad University, stating: The Jihad University is an influential name in applied research, and we have tried to leverage this capacity.
