Faculty of Geodesy and Geomatics
The educational activities of this Faculty started in 1954 as Geomatics Institute. This was shortly after the establishment of the Geomatics Organization of Iran. The mission of the newly established Geomatics Institute was mainly to train professional geomatics work force for governmental organizations. In 1980, this institute joined the newly established K.N. Toosi University of Technology. Initially it was known as the Faculty of Civil Engineering and the geodesy and geomatics engineering was one of the departments of this Faculty. With the expansion of the University, in 2001, this department made an independent faculty under the name of Geodesy and Geomatic Engineering to meet the growing demand in the field. As the only Faculty of Geodesy and Geomatics in Iran, this faculty is currently recognized as one of the leading educational and research centers of Iran in geodesy and geomatic engineering. With more than 19 full-time faculty members, this Faculty currently offers various programs in both graduate and undergraduate levels.

“Truth is his inspirer, and earnestness the polisher of his sentences. He could afford to lose his Sharp’s rifles, while he retained his faculty of speech,—a Sharp’s rifle of infinitely surer and longer range.”
