Modern Workshops & Laboratories
QIAU has the state of the art laboratories and
workshops, providing a scientifically attractive environment where professors and students
learn new skills.
English Research and Learning Institute
In today’s world, international and cross-cultural communications play a crucial role in development of countries and improve the people’s quality of life. Learning a language other than the mother tongue is more than
a need for any human beings. Only that way the confines of knowledge can be removed.

immediate supervision of QIAU President that supports the University Students to enjoy a higher quality of
life in the future by equipping them with international languages.
Language Center’s overarching mission is to support the internationalization macro-policies of the university
through implementing intensive and innovative strategic planning and development in Language Teaching
Technology and by benefiting from a wide variety of cutting-edge communication technology.
Our main mission is to provide QIAU language learners with opportunities to be critical learners and to help
them advance in their career as effectively and quickly as possible. Integrating high-tech developments with
advancements in Foreign/Second Language Acquisition, on one hand, and recruiting knowledgeable enthusiastic staff, on the other hand, Language Center strives to offer high-quality instruction to QIAU students who
need to improve their foreign language skills in order to join accredited research and education institutions,
organizations, and enterprises throughout the world.

one of its main activities is participating in international RoboCup competitions. RoboCup is one of the most prestigious
annual robotic competitions that aims at promoting Artificial
Intelligence, Robotics and related fields. It is an attempt to
combine Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Robotics research by providing a standard problem where a wide range
of technologies can be integrated and examined.
Soccer Field
Construction Industry Research Center ( CCRC )
The construction and concrete research center was established in 2005. The ever-growing increase in
the application of concrete in different fields of construction and industry has made us research for and
formulate concrete with optimal properties and invent different types of concrete for specific purposes.
CCRC aims to collaborate with construction industry in Iran by conducting scientific research as well as
commissioning projects to improve the quality of construction products.
