Nearly ninety years have passed since the beginning of modern higher education in Iran. During this period, engineering education in the country, along with a large quantitative expansion, has gone through many ups and downs. Improving engineering education depends on identifying its challenges and providing solutions to overcome them. And this is possible only with organized research. One of the envisaged measures in this field is to create a center for communication between the activities carried out in the engineering education of the country and the educational centers of other countries and international organizations. In this connection, following the approval of the United Nations Scientific, Educational and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the UNESCO Chair on Engineering Education was established at the University of Tehran. The UNESCO chair, as a think tank, has put research and futures studies in various fields of engineering education, at the top of its goals. In this paper, while introducing the objectives and scope of activities of the UNESCO Chair on Engineering Education, the achievements of a decade of its activities have been reviewed.

The quality of engineering education has become problematic. A kind of forgetting about the authentic narratives of learning the science has cast a shadow on our higher education system. We need a quality story. This study is an attempt to understand the collective memories leading to the repeated production of quality in the periods of growth and dynamism of engineering education in our country. The case of University College of Engineering, University of Tehran has been selected. An integrated methodological approach has been used in the form of documentary analysis, experts and key informant’ in-depth qualitative interviews and qualitative content analysis of narratives, documents, texts, and sources. Interviews were conducted with faculty members and managers who had significant experience of studying in various technical-engineering fields of Tehran University. Up to 21 participants based on the purposive sample frame to the extent of data saturation and theoretical saturation have been carried out. By using the »CIPP«framework, it was found that the core concept of engineering education quality during the period of grouth and flourishing was the penetrating experience  in science learning. The dimensions of external and internal contexts of concern about the quality engineering education was found. Inputs, processes and outputs were identified.

The push towards promoting the internationalization of universities all around the world have made universities finding themselves in a great competition to understand the problematic situation of this dynamic matter. The main objective of this research is to structure and form the factors influence the internationalization phenomena at the University of Tehran.

In this study, a mixed-methodology approach of using Soft Operations Research (Soft OR) and Hard Operations Research (Hard OR) was chosen. The Soft OR part of this research mainly focus on the dynamic characteristic of the problem in hand and researchers try to structure the factor influencing the internationalization of the University of Tehran by using the Soft System Methodology (SSM). Based on the SSM preliminaries, interview was chosen as the most appropriate method of data collection in this part since the main focus is on the different stake-holders’ perceptions and experiences in regards to the problem. The quantitative part of the research has a multi-criteria group decision-making design. The interpretation of the results from this part of the research generate insights which complement the SSM in interpreting the problem.

This research has shed out some new light on the fact that even the basic requirements for moving towards internationalization are not met at the University of Tehran. A long-term strategic vision is needed to be planed for first talking the barriers and then taking the first steps toward the internationalization at the University of Tehran. Three main categories are identified based on the finding that requires chronological actions besides a balance emphasize on all simultaneously.

The student’s Life-world, as the reference groups of community in the future, must be deeply explored and described in all its complexities, dimensions, elements and details. Therefore, the place of informal interactions of students as part of this Life-world is important in this study. The main purpose of the present study is that describe the students' mental perception of their informal interaction’s place deeply. Descriptive phenomenological method was used to achieve students' subjective meaning. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 students of Tehran University from different collegiate. In descriptive phenomenology, what is recommended as a method of analysis is the Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method. Students have a variety of mental meanings, including security, freedom and convenience, dynamics and ease of interaction between girls and boys, the survival of friendships, the loss of time and purpose, increasing of friends and they also point to a break from the formal system and its oversight of friendly gatherings and interactions within the university. Students are looking for other places and third places as places outside of formal systems or political machines. That is, they cross over well-known places to which norms and rules are defined, and choose new places that fit their lives and their needs and communicate with their friends. The presence of students in places seems to have all the features of a third place. None of them play a host role, and they all feel comfortable. Third place helps to develop their social network and build new friendships with students. Entertaining conversation is the most important way to distinguish third place from other places. Student places are accessible, like the other third places, and as students' mental perceptions have shown, availability is one of the most important features of students to create friendly interactions. Students in their friendly gatherings inside or outside the university are looking for fun times, conversations, laughter and entertainment.

Educational innovations in education and higher education in Iran have become more important during the outbreak of the Corona virus. After the outbreak of the coronavirus in Iran, all conferences, specialized meetings, as well as university training classes were closed by the order of the Minister of Health, and measures had to be taken to ensure that education continued. The University of Tehran, which is the symbol of higher education in the country and education and learning is one of the most basic pillars of this university, according to the message of the President of the University of Tehran, it was decided to hold all educational classes, including bachelor, master and doctorate electronically to turn. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the problems of e-learning in the University of Tehran due to the prevalence of coronavirus.

The research method was qualitative and phenomenological. The research field was the University of Tehran. The research sample consisted of 13 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students in the academic year 1399-1400, which was continued by purposeful and criterion-based sampling until theoretical saturation. In order to validate the findings, a supplementary interview was conducted, but no new information was obtained, so the interview process was stopped and reporting began. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The seven-step method was used to analyze the research data. A total of 7 themes and 36 sub-themes were identified. To evaluate the research findings, member review and peer audit and long-term presence in the environment were used.

The results showed that some of the problems are related to Internet infrastructure in the country and some of them are related to students and professors. This study revealed some of the problems of e-learning at the University of Tehran from the perspective of students. Of course, there is no doubt that the e-learning center is always looking to upgrade the infrastructure and solve the problems that exist in this space, but a precise pathology makes this space more efficient and effective day by day. Therefore, it is hoped that the people in charge of such education in the higher education system of universities, with diligent efforts to solve these problems and take a fundamental step in advancing the goals of the education system during the outbreak of coronavirus in the beloved country, Iran. It is suggested that the internet infrastructure in the country be strengthened by stakeholders, and that the e-learning system be reviewed in terms of equipment and efficiency, Problems with the microphone and sound echo amplify, By creating visual contacts with students during the classroom, the problem of interaction is solved, then a solution is thought for scientific courses that can not be evaluated through cyberspace, Professors should be required to place a number of their educational units on the e-learning system of the University of Tehran under normal circumstances, and finally professors from different universities should be required to use the combined teaching method to teach graduate students, At the end of the study, it is suggested that the higher education system as well as education have the necessary predictions in the field of problems such as coronavirus in advance and also the happy software launched by education, its problems and facilities will be seen by future researchers to take.

Abstract The present study was conducted to identify the competencies of learners in the e-learning environment at the University of Tehran. The research method was applied on purpose, and data collection is a mixed method. In the first part, using a qualitative approach and documentary research method, 41 components were identified, and then 18 components with the highest frequencies were selected. The statistical population has been included all students of the University of  Tehran who had the experience of studying in an online learning environment, then 308 individuals were selected as a sample using a random sampling method. In the second part, using a quantitative approach and descriptive-analytical research method, the researcher-made questionnaire is based on 18 components identified in the previous step were classified into four categories and included 78 items. Experts examined the questionnaire’s validity, and we used Lisrel for structural validity, and its reliability was obtained for 0.94 by Cronbach’s alpha. On the other hand, we used SPSS and LISREL software to analyze the findings, and single-variable t-test, independent t-analysis and factor analysis were used. Results of the data analysis show that: 1- According to confirmatory factor analysis, all test items show a desirable level, which means the proposed model has a good fit 2. Among the 18 components identified, all components except the component of previous experiences related to IT are at a higher than average level. 3- According to students, it was placed in the priority among the 18 components of computer skills (hardware and software), and the self-assessment component has the lowest priority. It seems that to have a proper e-learning environment university and faculties should pay more attentions to the students’ need and priorities.

Experimental results and theoretical analysis confirms that financial strategic decisions due to the effect of the policy and organizational behavior is very important. The aim of this paper was to study financial strategic making decision and decision-making processes at University of Tehran. Data was collected through qualitative research methods. The population of the study was all the experts and administrators involved in making decision and decision-making processes, including the Board of Executives, Vice Executives, Directors and Deans. In order to collect information, semi-structured interviews, purposive sampling and snowball technique were applied. The results showed that the most important strategic financial issue of University of Tehran is absence of financial independence. In addition, lack of sufficient attention to heated scientific debates in the decision-making meetings, lack of decision support system, incomplete information and poor attention to expert works are other reason for inefficiency and low effectiveness of strategic financial decisions at the university. Although the university has focused on diversification in funding, the financing policies are far from favorable condition and the large part of non-government revenues are provided by educational activities through development of university self- governing campuses and evening and online courses. Allocation of resources is done regardless of the performance of the units and is based on cost per student, past trends and bargaining. In addition, the operational budgeting is not used. To improve the existing situation, it is recommended that the University of Tehran review it's funding and allocation mechanisms and to launch an intelligent decision support system. Putting training courses in economics and finance in higher education on the agenda is also recommended.
