Iranian society needs a trained expert workforce in light of the rapid advances in science and technology. This is as important as natural needs for community survival, and having an expert workforce leads to independence and power for the society. To this end, governments can facilitate social progress through appropriate and comprehensive planning, training young talent, and optimal use of the available tools and capacities. Considering the importance of expertise in engineering fields for industrialization, this paper investigates the importance and priority of the common engineering disciplines in Iran. To achieve this goal, several criteria must be considered simultaneously, which we did using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Our findings include a prioritization of the disciplines in this branch of science.
