Electrical engineers work on a wide range of projects, from small-scale (such as the construction of household devices) to large-scale (such as wiring for very large and massive buildings), and they are specifically responsible for the design and supervision of these projects. They operate based on their expertise in several fields, such as computer engineering, signal processing, and microelectronics.
Electrical engineers apply the principles of electricity, electronics, and magnetism to develop electrical products and systems. They assess the level of risk in their designs and ensure that all stages of their work comply with safety standards and electrical engineering principles. However, the responsibilities of electrical engineers go far beyond what we have mentioned, and these responsibilities include:
- Design, control, and implementation of electrical systems and products
- Management of engineering projects and their timely delivery
- Defining and specifying customer needs
- Ensuring the design, production and installation of electrical systems in accordance with customer needs and safety standards
- Using new and innovative processes in design and production
- Quality and performance analysis in new and old computer systems
- Analyzing data and using them to improve work
- Reviewing projects for new equipment needs, costs, and budgeting
- Control of maintenance and inspection programs

Ferdowsi University of Mashhad
The Electrical Engineering Department of Ferdowsi University began its activities as the second educational group of the Faculty of Engineering in 1979, specializing in electronics. The admission of students to the Master’s program in Power and Control was initiated in 1986 and 1987, respectively. The start of student admissions for the Master’s programs in Telecommunications and Electronics dates back to 1993 and 1997. Since 2011, this department has also launched a Master’s program in Biomedical Engineering.
This group has been admitting students at the doctoral level since 1995. The doctoral students of the Electrical Engineering group graduated in 2001 and successfully obtained their doctoral degrees.
Currently, the Department of Electrical Engineering at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad offers one undergraduate specialization and five specializations at the graduate and doctoral levels, namely Electronics, Telecommunications, Power, Control, and Biomedical Engineering (Bioelectric).
Babol Noshirvani University of Technology
The history of the educational activities of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Noshirvani University of Technology in Babol dates back to 1975, when it was established as the Department of Electrical Engineering with two undergraduate specializations: Electrical Electronics and Electrical Power. In 2006, this department was transformed into the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
Currently, the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering has 47 faculty members, of which 4 are professors, 8 are associate professors, 31 are assistant professors, 3 are instructors, and 1 is a doctoral student.
The educational and research spaces of the faculty consist of three buildings. Building number 1 serves as the administrative building and the laboratory building. All educational classes (including undergraduate and graduate studies) are held in building number 1, which is located near the main entrance of the university. Additionally, this building includes offices for some faculty members, laboratory spaces, research groups, student group offices, examination halls, and more.
On the other hand, the office of the dean of the faculty, the office of the majority of the faculty members, and the office of education and graduate studies are located on the first floor of the central building of the university. Finally, some of the faculty’s laboratories, such as the insulation and high voltage laboratory, the electrical machines laboratory, the antenna laboratory, the industrial electronics laboratory, and so on, are located in the southern wing of building number 1 of the faculty.
