Development of industry in our country is not solely related to technology acquisition or equipment purchasing. It calls for a harmonic system including series of processes such as government macro strategy, large scale businesses, technology level, management methods standards, education, research and interactions between them. The main question of this paper is. “What is the role of universities (or schools) and industries in economic and social developing?” Do they play their roles well? And what are their challenges and problems in cooperation? The authors of this paper use their experiences to review the challenges of universities an industries cooperation, university and industry role, government responsibilities against universities and industries. At the end, some suggestions are offered for cooperation improvement between them.

One of the scientific methods of solving physics and engineering problem is to analyze natural phenomenon and then modeling them mathematically. In fact mathematical model for a physics or engineering problem is the statement of reality which governs the physics and engineering problem between unknown and data. Generally these modelings are in the form of initial value and boundary value differential equation with some initial or boundary conditions. In this paper we first set forth three questions in this context as follows: 1. Can we give a mathematical algorithm and mathematical model for each physics and engineering problem? 2. Can each mathematical modeling and problem of physics and engineering be solved? 3. Is each prediction and solution which is resulted from physics and engineering applicable? In the second part of the paper, the above questions will be answered with the help of scientific, philosophical and historical background based on the attitude and idea of ancient Greek scientists and philosophers. The contemporary mathematician and physicists will be given. Next, in order to have correct answer to the above questions by physicists and engineers, some well-posed problems will be discussed. Finally, with the aid of mathematician’s general methods, some ill-posed problems will be investigated to have a better understanding of well-posed boundary value differential equation. The extend boundary condition of the problems which appear in physics and engineering will be discussed. Eventually, to promote the skill of mathematical modeling of physics and engineering for physics and engineering students, some proposals will be given

To speed up the industrial progress of the country, it is necessary to make vital changes in the engineering education in Iran, so that both students and engineering faculty members are directly involved in the industrial activities of the country. It is also necessary to utilize the expertise of the experienced engineers in the education of engineering students. It is proposed that one of the engineering colleges admit two streams of students, one following the normal education, and the other spending their time both at the university, following the normal education, and in various industries, as related to their respective fields of studies. If the plan is proved to be successful, then the other engineering collogues may implement it. In the parallel plan, the students spend a total of 8 semesters at the university, taking regular engineering courses, and 6 semesters at an industry, working as engineers in training. Any time these students decide to change their stream, they can simply switch to the regular program. In the proposed engineering education plan, emphasis will be placed on engineering creativity and ethics.

Taking advantage of the assessment mechanism is one of the most fundamental and popular investigation methods of functional ability and quality of higher education system. Here, the culture of the system plays an important role in the preparation of the assessment mechanism. In the appraisal performance process, all aspects of the executive organizations are investigated, and the strengths and weaknesses of their performance are recognized in both general and specific aspects. The Ministry of Science, Research and Technology is not an exception in this regard, and has appraised the performance of headquarters and university domains during the years 2001-2004, 2005, and 2006. The present article investigates the results of appraisal performance of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology in 2006. For this purpose, processes and operational structure of the ministry are described in 2006, and the results of the appraisal performance of headquarters and university domains are presented separately and on the basis of ratified factors and indicators. .

The expected rapid rise in power demand during the 21st century is accompanied by mounting problems with power plant sitting, environmental impact, resource shortages, and increasing shortage of available space for fuel and power generation and distribution. With growth of modern technologies into the world households, it is necessary to replace clean energy, reduce irreversibility in consumed energy systems and optimize the energy consumption. In this regard technical and economical analysis of any thermal systems is very necessary. It is increasingly recognized that for any conceptual design, analysis and development it is necessary to add the subject of exergy (a second law of thermodynamic) to the conventional energy analysis. Unfortunately this part of exergy is not included in the teaching of thermodynamic of our universities. In macroeconomics, exergy offers a way to reduce resource depletion and environmental destruction by such means as an exergy tax. By minimizing life cycle cost, we find the ‘‘best’’ system under given prevailing economic conditions, and by minimizing exergy losses, we also minimize environmental effects. Exergetic production cost (EPC) is a new method developed for the analysis and optimal improvement design of combined heat and power (CHP) systems. In this study EPC scheme is applied for the Shiraz solar power plant to find the effect of amortization and starting temperature on the electricity cost. Another example for a chemical plant is also analyzed by EPC method to minimize exergy cost. This study is useful for the students as well as engineers who are involved in the process design and energy saving subjects.

This jug operates according to the differences between densities of two liquids such as water and oil. It consists of a jug with a mechanism inside, and two side outlets at the bottom of the jug. The inside mechanism consists of a horizontal balance rod which can tilt around the connection point of the rod and a vertical stand attached to the bottom of the jug. A cup and a balancing weight are attached to each end of the rod and liquids poured into the cup are emptied to either side of the jug according to the tilting direction of the balance rod .The tilt direction is determined by the density of the fluid and the balancing weight This jug was manufactured and tested as a part of a research project, called, "Iranian old technologies" undertaken by mechanical engineering research center of the Iranian Research Organization for Science Technology (IROST). The magic jug was originally designed by Ahmad Ben Musa Shakkir Khorassani of the 9th century A.C, one of the three brothers of "Bano Musa Shakkir Khorassani ". The original design is presented in the "book Al Hiyal" written by Ahmad Ben Musa. The jug was tested for suggested operation in the book (Al Hiyal) to withhold the concept of the design and to establish correct operation of the jug. However, minor modifications were made to its original design and it was tested and as a result the jug operated as expected.

Organizations must implement the system of total quality management in order to increase production quality and their services, create competitive advantage, and also enter world markets. Total quality management is considered, in a sense, new management paradigm and organizations need a continuous rebirth to continue survival and pass ups and downs and reach the stage of evolution, and one cannot drive the nail home successfully in the turbulous competitive sea through convering defects. Total quality management as and culture and also as a set of strategic principles is for the indication of the basis of continuous recovery development in organization. Now, it can be said that total quality management is perhaps the best way for the growth and development of the young industry of Iran so that through this way experiencing the presence in the competitive market is possible. In this article, Deming principles and quality cycle as scientific components that have a role in implementing total quality management have been addressed. Then, total model of comprehensive quality management and the common principles in the implementation of these principles have been dealt with.
