Brain drain, Brain Circulation (Solution)
This is the third part of an article related to the brain drain in Iran and how this can be prevented by drain circulation. The first paper is devoted to the history of this phenomenon in Iran and divided to: 1) before Islamic Revolution, 2) during revolution and crises, 3) the period of relative Calmness. The amount of Iranian expert's immigration has been presented. In the second paper the views of Iranian experts in connection with the cause of this immigration from economical, cultural; political, professional and social point of view has been evaluated. In this paper parameters affecting the reduction of this phenomenon and even to convert the harmful brain drain to brain circulation are presented.

The New Method of Value Engineering and TRIZ
Although designing and implementing of knowledge system are common process, there are different processes based upon knowledge nature. Knowledge is a common sense for science, information, experience, and analytical tools. Therefore, we could study different knowledge areas with its components for differentiation and classifications. This paper includes the systemic approach to present functions and methods of knowledge engineering, and knowledge mapping. After analyzing some features of dimensions, processes and alternatives for knowledge mapping, knowledge architecture prepares the conditions to continue all steps of systemic approach of knowledge engineering. Based on these steps the principals of creation to produce knowledge in seven procedures are presented. The paper analyzes designing methods based on framework of shadow team and knowledge system engineering activities to reach the designing strategies of knowledge system process. At final section, the paper surveys tools and knowledge engineering performances from experts' viewpoints of Research and Technology Petrochemical Company.

THE NEW METHOD OF VALUE ENGINEERING AND TRIZ
S. Farshad , B. Ebrahimi** and E. Khavandkar*** ABSTRACT- Value engineering is a systematic and group based method which tries to meet the most valuable function with minimum cost and without ignoring safety, reliability, maintainability, quality, etc. by analyzing product/service functions. While TRIZ method is capable of identifying advantageous and disadvantageous functions and physical elements of a product/service and to propose the most improved alternative function simultaneously by gathering most efficient experiences from innovations and solving complex design and engineering problems. Therefore, their synergy capabilities results in simultaneous application of these methods in solving problems function improvement and increasing value. Settlement of an engineering system is one of the main apprehensions of project managers. In this paper, in addition to introducing powerful and efficient tool, TRIZ, and reviewing drawbacks of value engineering in function analysis FAST diagram and brain storming process, proposes a new functional model UHP-FAST for analyzing function, by investigating synergy possibility of these methods. At last, considering proposed model and applying these models and preposition in traditional work plan of value engineering, we propose a new workplan for value engineering and settlement of an engineering and comprehensive system.

Concept Development of Industry-University Collaboration: From Practical-oriented to the Structural-Oriented Methods
Industry and university collaboration with respect to its effects on the knowledge-based and sustainable development process is one of the main challenging subjects considered by all clear sighted, especially statesmen in previous decades. Review of several strategies presents practical oriented opinions that disseminate collaboration as an immediate effect development facilitator and finally lead to practical methods with short time precipitate recommendations. These methods, especially in the developed countries expanded in industrial revolution era and unfortunately, today, without any notice to geo-strategically considerations are persuaded by some of the less developed countries. After industrial revolution era, revisions on expired methods led to new structural oriented methods of collaboration with a view to obligations based on the subtle structural analyzing and with respect to the effects of other related organizations. In this paper, after enumeration of limitation and emphasis on complexity of this process, first we stress on the unsuccessful results of practical based methods in Iran and, after structural defect analyzing of industry-university collaboration, we propose a structural-oriented methods which is adaptable solution for our country

Introducing Effective Parameters in Tele-Operation Systems Assessment
In this paper tele-operation systems are considered. After introducing these systems and their specifications, essential parameters are considered. In 1985 Vertut and Coiffet presented an index for evaluating mechanical or machine tele-operation systems including 32 traits. In these indexes parameters like tracking, stability and security factors are not considered or a negligible contribution is assigned to them. In this paper after adding some corrections and extensions to this available idea some suggestions based on new developments in this area are applied to categorize all parameters into 5 main categories.

The Importance of Comprehension & Training of Strategic Metals in Materials Engineering
Strategic metals are those equipment, may be limited in the country or depended to foreign countries. Shortage of strategic raw material may cause critical condition for various nations. It is also used in advanced industry, but their raw material, production technology or important to be aware of the effect of different factors on their production. Most strategic metals are found with copper, lead, zinc and tin ore (the source of some strategic metals) in Iran, which are extracted as by-product. The efficiency and usage, growth of supply and demand, rank of importance and production rate of the strategic metals are different. To detect their rank of importance, recognition of factors which affect their cost and crisis, is necessary. Rapid application of strategic metals and limitation of their ores in Iran and all over the world, it is possible that their strategic degree for Iran will increase gradually, so it is necessary to plan comprehensive schedules and take them into consideration in metallurgical engineering education in the future.

The Role of Technology Foresight on the Japanese Science and Enginiering Education System
The goal of technology foresight in Japan is to provide basic information for government science and technology policy, corporate R & D management, educational planning at universities and research centers. The implementation of technology foresight is inextricably related to the characteristics of governmental organizations that are involved in science and technology and to various social and economic factors. A consensus process has been important to form national science and technology policy. Results of such a policy was decentralization of administrative structure and large investment in Japanese industry. This paper outlines Japanese technology foresight activities using Delphi surveying technique for more than 30 years. Case studies on IT, environment, energy and life science show significant correlation between two parameters that Delphi results could be utilized to set priorities settings for each case.
