PWUT is also the technical training center for power and water industries in Iran.
Around 120 academic staff with 100 labs and workshops provide an environment for the education of trainees from regional electric companies, power plants, and water and wastewater companies. The university is in northeast of Tehran, Iran. It is named after Hassan Abbaspour, former Iranian Minister of Energy, who was killed in 1981.{{cite web |url=http://www.habilian.com/view.asp?ID=01787 |title=www.habilian.com - زندگینامه شهید عباسپور |accessdate=2009-11-24 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080209063323/http://www.habilian.com/view.asp?ID=01787 |archivedate=2008-02-09 }}
Programs are offered at Bachelors, Masters and PhD levels. In addition, PWUT conducts a short courses aimed at upgrading or refreshing the knowledge and skills of practitioners. PWUT is accredited by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology of Iran and administered by a board of trustees comprising academicians and representatives of national organizations professors.[http://www.unesco-ihe.org/Training-and-Capacity-Building-for-the-Water-and-Wastewater-Sector-in-Iran/Partners/Power-and-Water-University-of-Technology Power and Water University of Technology] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090709220058/http://www.unesco-ihe.org/Training-and-Capacity-Building-for-the-Water-and-Wastewater-Sector-in-Iran/Partners/Power-and-Water-University-of-Technology |date=2009-07-09 }}
History
The Technical Power Systems Training Center was founded in the northeast of Tehran on 1970 to improve the knowledge of technologists and engineers employed in power and water industries. Its activities continued on a limited level until 1980. At that time, special consideration of Hassan Abbaspour (Minister of Energy) for training experts in power and water industries and the efforts of Mohammad Sadegh Ghazizadeh, Mohammad Ahmadian and Kabir Sadeghi{{Cite web |url=http://icopmas.pmo.ir/uploads/ICOPMAS%202014/Scientific%20committee/cv-sadeghi.PDF |title=Archived copy |access-date=2017-02-26 |archive-date=2018-09-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180929133645/http://icopmas.pmo.ir/uploads/ICOPMAS%202014/Scientific%20committee/cv-sadeghi.PDF |url-status=dead }} lead to promotion of the Technical Power Systems Training Center to a research and training center which was responsible for training to undergraduate level.
The Ministry of Science, Research and Technology approved the institution to be changed into the Faculty of Power and Water in 1991. It was changed into Shahid Abbaspour (Power and Water) University of Technology in 2005. It also functions as a faculty under the University of Applied Science and Technology (UAST), at least for the associate degree program in Computer Softwarer, for which UAST awards the degree, while PWUT issues the official transcript.
The university has graduate programs in Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering. In spring 2013, PW University of Technology was merged into the Shahid Beheshti University.[http://www.pwut.ac.ir/University/Pages/history.aspx History] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091026011644/http://www.pwut.ac.ir/University/Pages/history.aspx |date=2009-10-26 }} PWUT
