[edit] History
The university was founded in 1974 and admitted its first students in 1977. It was founded as Aryamehr University of Technology Isfahan branch and was renamed after the Islamic Revolution of Iran. Plans were to make the institution the largest university in the middle east that weren't completed because of political changes in the country.
The university was designed and planned directly based on models off of MIT and University of Illinois at Chicago.[1]
