1. Introduction

Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department at Sharif University of Technology was established in 1966 as one of the four departments which the university initially started its activities .The curriculum of chemical engineering education was conceived according to the most advanced and accredited programs available at that time to meet two requirements, namely first, to provide the need for highly skilled and well educated manpower of the fast growing chemical, petroleum, and petrochemical industries in Iran, and second, to prepare the students for pursuing their education towards graduate levels. Since then the Department has been highly successful in both directions based on the records of thousands of our graduates at national and international levels. On the basis of the number of faculty members, the quality of its students, and academic performance, the department ranks first in the country. In 2000, the Department was renamed to Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department after a cooperation contract with National Iranian Oil Company to provide the needs of petroleum industries in upstream for well educated engineers and researchers in petroleum engineering field. Although graduate program in chemical engineering has started more than 25 years ago, qualitative and quantitative expansion of graduate program, with emphasis on Ph.D. program, have been achieved in the last ten years. At present, the Department enrolls more than 80 M.Sc. students and about 10 Ph.D. students in chemical engineering per academic year. In addition the Department accepts 10 M.Sc. and 5 Ph.D. students in petroleum engineering per year. The program leading to Masters Degree in chemical engineering or petroleum engineering comprise of about 24 to 26 credit of course work and a thesis (6-8 credit), with a more than 32 credit. The course work includes 3 to 4 core courses, each with 3 credit hours, in addition to the courses elected as'' specialized courses'' depending on the option that the student chooses as he/ she enrolls. Core Courses • Advanced Engineering Mathematics • Advanced Numerical Mathematics • Advanced Reactor Design • Advanced Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics • Advanced Fluid Mechanics • Advanced Heat Transfer • Advanced Mass Transfer • Fluid Phase Behavior in Petroleum Reservoir • Fluid Flow Through Porous Media • Fractured Reservoir Engineering Specialized Courses The specialized courses will be selected from a variety of courses that the Department offers in different areas of chemical and petroleum engineering at graduate level. These courses can also be selected in the Ph.D. program. In the last 10 years, the Department has developed several programs in the following areas at M.Sc. level, each with different group of courses as described below. M.Sc. programs offered at the Department • Biomedical Engineering • Biotechnology • Environmental Engineering • Food Industry Engineering
