The purpose of conducting this research is to examine the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation with the creativity in students of Engineering Islamic Azad University (Lahijan Branch). Sexuality differences in creativity quantity has been studied among these students. Samples of study includes 280 of students (139 girls and 141 boys) selected with the use of stratified sampling method. Results were gathered through the abedi creativity and job preference questionnaires (special copy of student) and then analyzed through statistical method of multivariable regression analysis. The results showed that there isn't any meaningful relation between extrinsic motivation and sexuality with the creativity of students, but intrinsic motivation has positive and meaningful relation with the quantity of creativity in students

The main purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the students' learning styles in engineering faculty with human science faculty in 1386-87. For this purpose, and according to the pilot study, 170 students were selected as a sample of engineering and human science faculties' students. 67 of the students were male and 103 were female. Instruments included learning style questionnaires (VARK). Content reliability of the questionnaire was determined by faculty members of educational and psychology department of Isfahan University. Validity of the questionnaire was estimated 0.986 according to Cronbach formula. SPSS were used for analyzing data. T-independent, t-hoteling, t-student, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA), and LSD, were statistical tests used in this article. Results of this study indicated that there was a significant difference between learning styles of students in engineering and human students. Preferred learning style among the engineering students was the aural, while preferred learning style among human sciences students was the kinesthetic. Comparing the learning styles of men and women indicated that kinesthetic style was preferred among both. There were also differences in learning style between graduate and under-graduate students. Based on the results, some recommendations are suggested to the instructors of both faculties.

Nature, with its great variety of efficient structures, is suitable as a source for the stimulation of possible ecologically sound and ergonomic solutions to problems and opportunities. Examples in nature can become a creative element within the process of producing a solution to a problem. Bionical creativity engineering has fundamental role in researches and developments in all sciences. Bionical creativity a engineering inspiration and modeling of evolution nature principles, and opening a new and modern approaches for problem solving, management, research & development. This paper describes bionical creativity engineering and its education in university in all sciences and engineering disciplines.

Rural architecture is a unique range of remedies to use potentials of natural environment and to comply with material and spiritual needs of rural areas. A deep view to this architecture and understanding aesthetics of rural thoughts and use of the finding in residents design are goals of education in rural 1 and rural 2 courses of architecture education in Iran. With respect to rural population and their place in, the High Council of Educational planning increases this course from two-credit course to three-credit course. This article revise the need of rural education in faculties of architecture and follows a method of education in two courses, rural 1 and rural 2. This proposed method is the consequence of experiences of these courses in architecture and urbanism faculties of Tehran Art University.

The evaluation of any educational system is one of the most fundamental processes, and especially, the precise evolution will have a positive influence on that educational system. In this study, by looking through different criteria usually used for the evaluation of architectural education systems in different countries, we introduced some reasonable criteria for the evaluation process. We have reviewed the recent criteria used in our architecture educational systems and showed its problems and difficulties. The study has been based on statistical measurements collected from some universities. According to the results of investigations and analysis of current states, we have shown the bases and suggestions to compile a realistic evaluation.

The “Balance of Wisdom” (or “comprehensive balance) is a name for one of the most sophisticated and advanced balances designed and manufactured after the establishment of Islam. Designer of this balance is Abdol Rahmaan Al-Khazini who also presented this balance in a book titled “Al-Kitab Mizan Al-Hikma “or “The Balance of Wisdom”. Of the prominences of this balance to others, one can point out; its precision, triple complex action, number of pans, which enabled the balance to be applied for recognition of constituent substances of twofold alloys, and their weight percentage in the alloy. It was also capable of measuring the weight and density of substances or alloys, precisely. It was mainly used at the treasuries of kings to have control upon the treasurer, by measuring the gold carat of the items kept in the treasury. The balance is a hydrostatic balance of standard form with five scale pans, a rather complicated polyfilar suspension, and a sensitive indicator tongue. It was first designed and manufactured in the twelfth century A.C, after which there are no signs of remanufacturing, or development of this balance. The balance was redesigned according to the book, “ Al-Kitab Mizan Al-Hikma “ , manufactured and tested as a part of a research project called “ Designing and manufacturing of innovations and inventions of the Iranian scientist”, undertaken by the Mechanical Engineering Research Center of the Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST )
