History
The initial establishment and formation of AUT dates back to October 1927. The initial core of the university was then, formed under the name “Tehran Polytechnic” in order to expand the activities of the two technical institutions of the time: Civil Engineering Institute and the Higher Art Center. The first group of students were admitted in 1957 through an internal exam and AUT officially commenced its activities in 1958, with five engineering majors: Electronics and Electrical, Mechanical, Textile, Chemistry and Civil Engineering.
