Reference excerpt

The Petroleum University of Technology (Persian: دانشگاه صنعت نفت) is an Iranian public university funded by the Ministry of Petroleum particularly by its main company, the NIOC. It was founded in 1939 in Abadan in response to the increasing industrialization of Iran oil company, and is officially the second oldest university in Iran after University of Tehran According to QS World University Rankings 2020 for petroleum engineering programs, PUT has not been placed among the top 100 universities. It offers B.Sc., M.S and Doctorate programs for upstream and downstream oil and gas industry such as petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, offshore engineering, instrumentation engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, accounting, and marine engineering. It has four campuses in Ahwaz, Abadan, Tehran and Mahmudabad and some research centers. Petroleum University of Technology

History

The name of the university has been changed several times. The university was established in 1939 in Abadan as Abadan Technical School. The academic program comprised working and studying in sequence. The students (if employed) spent two-fifths of the academic program in the school and three-fifths in the Abadan Refinery (Persian: پالايشگاه آبادان Pālāyeshgāh-e Ābādān) as trainees. In 1956, the new curriculum was prepared by Lafayette College of Pennsylvania for two years of pre engineering and four years of general engineering. The curriculum was approved by National Iranian Oil Company and 79 students out of several thousand applicants were selected based on written test and interview. The name was changed to Abadan Institute of Technology (AIT). By then, the educational program focused on the general engineering major; admissions were given to fourth grade high school students after passing an entry test and interviews. The last admissions of the program were granted in 1961 and the first students graduated in 1962. In 1962, the new program was introduced that offered B.S. degrees in petroleum engineering, economic and administrative sciences and accounting. The programs was still internship-orientated. After the outbreak of the Iran–Iraq War, the university was relocated. It was first moved to Gachsaran in 1981. The universities all over the country reopened in December 1982 and the university moved to the current location of Ahwaz Faculty of Petroleum in Kut-e Abdollah, Karun County. After the Iran–Iraq War, in 1989, the Ministry of Culture and Higher Education granted permission to found the Petroleum University of Technology. All the educational institutions of the Ministry of Petroleum are supervised by the university. Ministry of Petroleum, then founded the Abadan Shahid Tondghuyan Faculty of Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering or Abadan Faculty of Petroleum in February 1992 in the location of the former Abadan Institute of Technology and The Research Center of Petroleum University of Technology in the campus of the current Ahwaz Faculty of Petroleum in 1993.

Today As of 2015, the Petroleum University of Technology consists of four faculties in cities that offer 13 undergraduate, 11 graduate and three doctorate programs:

Ahvaz Faculty of Petroleum (or PUT Ahvaz), Abadan Faculty of Petroleum (or PUT Abadan), Tehran Faculty of Petroleum (N.I.O.C. school of Accounting and Finance ) (or PUT Tehran), Mahmudabad Faculty of Marine Sciences (or PUT Mahmudabad). The university has four research centers:

Ahvaz Faculty of Petroleum Research Center; Abadan Faculty of Petroleum Research Center; Tehran Faculty of Petroleum Research Center and, Mahmudabad Faculty of Marine Sciences Offshore Oil & Gas Industries Research Center. PUT programs:

Roles and goals The priorities of the PUT are maintaining the resources of oil and gas in the country and training manpower for the development and exploitation of these resources.

Students According to the Iranian university entrance exam (Konkoor), students ranked between 2000 and 4000 usually enter PUT. A student has won the bronze medal of the ninth South Eastern European Mathematical Olympiad for University Students (SEEMOUS 2015) that took place in Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia, from March 3–8, 2015.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Petroleum University of Technology

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Petroleum University of Technology claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Petroleum University of Technology before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Petroleum University of Technology ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Petroleum University of Technology

In research: Petroleum University of Technology appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Petroleum University of Technology in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Petroleum University of Technology is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1939 establishments in Iran, Abadan, Iran, Buildings and structures in Khuzestan province, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Petroleum University of Technology outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
