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.

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.
