Khatam University Supports the Research Projects Proposed by Its Graduates

Dr. Majid Ghasemi, the president of Khatam University, in the gathering of Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering graduates of Khatam University, stated that the university supports research projects in different fields for its students and added: “It is worth mentioning that Khatam University supports you in conducting research projects and there are no budget restrictions in this regard.”

According to the website of Khatam University, Dr. Majid Ghasemi, the president of Khatam University, in the gathering of the graduates of the computer engineering and electrical engineering departments of this university, which was held on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, followed up his speech by narrating memories from the period of time when he was a student at Dar Al Fonoun high school.

He then touched on the importance and role of motivation and youth power in advancing the affairs of Pasargad Bank at the beginning of its establishment, and by quoting a memory in this regard, continued: “At the time when I was establishing Pasargad Bank, I was very worried about its core banking. One day while climbing, I saw some elite young people who had come to the mountain, talking together about the problems that had arisen on the way of their innovative ideas in different companies and organizations.”

Ghasemi continued: “Each of those young people had a complaint about something and I realized that they were very motivated, but their initial experiences in implementing their innovative ideas with different organizations and companies were not pleasant. There, I shared with them the concerns I had in my mind and said that I wanted to establish a bank whose software was domestic, and this is how we established Fanap with the help of the same young people. Fanap was able to remove Pasargad Bank from all unnecessary domestic and foreign affiliations within 6 years in this regard.”

Pointing out that Khatam University has been the originator of fields such as convergent technologies and data science, he described the way of doing research in this university as completely smooth and added: “The only thing we ask our students and graduates, is to continue the path of research. Keep this in mind that we support you and we do not have any budget restrictions in this regard.”

Dr. Ghasemi, who was speaking to the graduates of computer engineering and electrical engineering fields of Khatam University, while offering them a proposal to establish a financial services company, advised this group of graduates of Khatam University and said: “In whatever field you are, count on yourself and value your skills and talent. Know yourself and never consider yourself a graduate, but a scholar.”

The CEO of Pasargad Bank further added: “You are like the growing trees of Khatam University and I am like a gardener who feels refreshed after seeing you succeed. That is what I am grateful for.”

Before the speech of the president of Khatam University, Masoud Rabbani, the head of the engineering department of this university, while pointing out the importance of performance evaluation in organizations such as universities, said: “The main part of performance evaluation is related to the stakeholders, and in the case of the university, the stakeholders are the students and graduates. I can personally defend the credibility of Khatam University which is a place where there is a library that allows students to access the latest articles in the world in various fields.”

In addition, Abdollah Shamisa, the director of the electrical engineering department of Khatam University, in a speech at this gathering, while pointing to the flood of emigration of a large part of elites and graduates of the field of electrical engineering from various universities in the country, warned about the challenge of the lack of specialized personnel in the field of electrical industry in the coming years and called for an essential solution.

In this meeting, Ehsan Akhtarkavan, the director of the computer engineering department of Khatam University, while appreciating the president of this university for the constant support of the said department and its graduates, announced the unemployment rate of the graduates of this field at 1% and called for necessary solutions for filling this small gap.

Before the lectures of the professors of electrical engineering and computer engineering departments, a report was also presented by Khatam University Alumni Relations Office regarding these two fields, according to which, respectively, 84% and 85% of the graduates of both fields are employed in the labor market. Among these graduates, 76% have careers in the field of computer engineering and 70% in the field of electrical engineering.

In this gathering, Arvin Kahbazi, a student of the computer engineering department and Elahe Rahpeima, a student of the electrical engineering department, expressed some of their experiences from studying at Khatam University and the areas of progress that this university has provided for them, including the good relationship between the university and the industry. They pointed out the appropriate experimental facilities of the university and the unhesitating support of the university’s president for research projects.

According to the same report, Dr. Minoo Alami, who studied at Khatam University in 2001 and was recently promoted to the rank of full professor, was also honored by Dr. Majid Ghasemi and Khatam University.
