Examining the structural similarity of computer engineering subjects in Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz and matching this field in Iran and the world

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the structural similarity of computer engineering subjects in Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz ( SCU ) and its compatibility with Iran and the world. The research is considered as a type of applied scientometric studies. The statistical population consists of researches related to the field of computer engineering that are in the Web of Science database by researchers of SCU, Iran and the whole world. For the structural similarity of the subjects, in order to determine the degree of alignment of researches in each of the computer engineering fields in SCU with the country of Iran and the world, the index of structural similarity of the subjects was used. By comparing the percentage of structural similarity between SCU with Iran and the world, it has been observed that the alignment of researches in Iran and SCU with global researches in the field of computer engineering is very low, which is suggested between Computer engineering groups in Iran should be more connected through think-tank meetings so that the reason for the lack of alignment between the research done in Iran and SCU with the global issues of this field is investigated.
