Fisheries Engineering
The Fisheries Engineering Department of Lorestan University was established in 2017 with the aim of training specialists in the fields of environment and fisheries by accepting students at the undergraduate level. This department currently operates with 3 faculty members specializing in environment and 3 faculty members specializing in fisheries. The two aforementioned academic fields have been developed based on the country's macro policies, national and global needs, and new topics and technologies, and their curriculum includes theoretical, laboratory, and field courses in various fields related to the field. In defining the syllabus of both fields, an effort is made to ensure that students, as much as possible, can engage in useful and effective scientific activities in private and government centers related to their specialized field after graduation and, using the knowledge they have acquired, can promote this branch of science. This department currently accepts about 20 students in environmental science and engineering and 20 students in fisheries science and engineering each year at the undergraduate level.
Length of course and form of educational system:
The length of course and form of educational system of the undergraduate course of both Environmental Science and Engineering and Fisheries Science and Engineering is 4 years based on the approvals of the Supreme Planning Council and educational regulations, which is presented in the form of a semester-unit system. Each semester is about 16 weeks of education and the courses of each semester are presented in the form of theoretical and practical courses based on the plans of the educational group and the subjects. One of the characteristics of these two disciplines, considering their close relationship with living organisms and their dependence on environmental conditions, is the emphasis on practical courses, which aims to present specialized courses in a theoretical-practical manner.
Number of credits:
The number of credits for the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Engineering is 140 credits as follows:
-General courses: 22 credits
-Basic science courses: 30 credits
-Specialized courses: 78 credits
-Elective courses: 10 credits
The number of credits for the Bachelor of Science in Fisheries Science and Engineering is 139 credits as follows:
-General courses: 22 credits
-Basic science courses: 35 credits
-Specialized courses: 73 credits
Elective courses: 6 credits
-Project: 3 credits
Role, ability and competence of graduates:
Graduates of these two majors will have the ability and competence in the following areas:
Acquiring basic knowledge and increasing motivation and awareness of their specialty issues
Developing and cultivating the ability to understand the basic concepts and foundations of specialization in a scientific and systematic way
Increasing the ability and competence to determine and apply appropriate methods to solve specialized problems in service centers
Acquiring skills in preparing, implementing and supervising the implementation of executive plans and Applied Research
Given the knowledge and skills they acquire, graduates of these two fields will be able to provide educational and research services in cooperation with higher education centers. Also, graduates of this field will be able to conduct research in specialized fields as researchers in research institutions. Various government organizations are among the centers where graduates of these fields will be able to provide services. On the other hand, graduates of these two fields will also have the necessary capabilities to cooperate with consulting engineers in the country, given the skills they acquire practically in specialized workshops. In addition, graduates of each field can manage the specialized departments of government and private organizations, institutions, and organizations.
Terms and conditions for entering the course:
According to the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.
Future plans:
Given the needs of the country's executive and research sectors on the one hand and the definition of new scientific and executive topics and fields regarding the environment and fisheries, this group intends to attract students in various fields of study in the coming years through careful and principled planning at the postgraduate levels (Master's and Doctorate). It is hoped that with the efforts of the authorities and the provision of the necessary facilities and equipment, we will achieve this goal as soon as possible.
