According to RCO News Agency, citing Amirkabir University of Technology, Abbas Soroush said in the gathering of faculty members of the Faculty of Chemistry, referring to his recent visits to the faculties: These visits were very useful and we are trying to strengthen direct communication with the faculties through regular planning. The current structure of the university, which has its roots in the 40s and 50s, is not suitable for the development and responsibilities of the university today, and this issue has caused the internal interactions to decrease.
The president of Amirkabir University of Technology emphasized the necessity of reviewing the management structure and strengthening the interaction between the faculties and the university management, and said: One of the current harms of the university is the reduction of effective communication between the headquarters and the ranks, which must be resolved.
He added: “University council meetings should be removed from one-sidedness and the participation of faculties in decision-making should be increased.” Increasing the number and quality of meetings can help strengthen convergence in the university.
Referring to the change in the structure of basic sciences in the university over the past years, he said: When independent faculties of chemistry, mathematics and physics have been established, its requirements must also be accepted and these fields must be strengthened competitively and at a high level. If the basic sciences are weakened, in the long run, engineering and the entire scientific system of the country will be damaged.
Soroush emphasized: It is necessary to provide incentive mechanisms to support fundamental activities that have the possibility of being published in prestigious journals with a high impact factor.
Stating that the gap between engineering education and basic sciences has increased in recent years, he clarified: an engineering student must have strong foundations in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Strengthening these foundations will not only help the quality of education, but will also lay the foundation for improving the level of research and innovation in the university.
In the end, he noted: Paying attention to basic research is a long-term investment for the future of the university and the country. Although these types of researches may come to a conclusion later, they provide the main platform for the development of technology and engineering.
