Sharif University of Technology (SUT, (ペルシア語:دانشگاه صنعتی شریف)) is a public research university in Tehran, Iran known traditionally to be first choice of top ranked Iranian high school and university students in engineering and physical sciences. The university is located in the Tarasht neighborhood of Tehran within close proximity of Azadi Square, and also has an international campus in Kish, a resort island in the Persian Gulf. Established in 1966, it was formerly named the Aryamehr University of Technology and for a short period after the 1979 revolution, the university was called Tehran University of Technology. Following the revolution the university was named after Majid Sharif Vaghefi, a former student who was killed in 1975. Today, the university provides both undergraduate and graduate programs in 15 main departments. The student body consists of about 6,000〔http://eduvp.sharif.ir/speech86.pdf〕 undergraduate students and 4,700〔 graduate students from all the 30 provinces of Iran. Funding for Sharif University is provided by the government and through private funding. Undergraduate admission to Sharif is limited to the top 1 percent of students who pass the national entrance examination administered annually by the Iranian Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Introduction, Sharif University )〕 In the 2013 Academic Ranking of World Universities Engineering/Technology and Computer Sciences rankings, SUT is ranked 5th in the Middle East.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Academic Ranking of World Universities - 2013 )〕 It is in the top 251-275 universities in the world and 37th in Asia in the 2014 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.〔http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2012-13/world-ranking/institution/sharif-university-of-technology〕〔http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2013-14/world-ranking/region/asia〕 In the 2014 Times Higher Education top 100 for newer universities (less than 50 years old), SUT ranked 1st in the Middle East, 6th in Asia, and 27th in the world.〔http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2014/one-hundred-under-fifty〕 ==History== The university was founded in 1966 with the name ''Aryamehr Technical University'' by Dr. Mohammad Ali Mojtahedi (محمدعلي مجتهدی). At that time, there were 54 faculty members and a total of 412 students who were selected by national examination. Also only four departments were established: Electrical, Metallurgical, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering. In 1972, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi appointed Sayyed Hosein Nasr as president of the university with the goal of modeling the school based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with roots in Iranian culture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography / Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr )〕〔 〕 In 1974 a new campus of the university was established in Isfahan. But later that campus became an independent university, named Isfahan University of Technology (IUT). The emblem of IUT still closely resembles SUT's emblem . Currently the university has grown to an elite school with over 9000 students, 700 of whom are studying for a doctorate, and over 500 faculty members in 15 main departments.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sharif University of Technology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
