The university was originally established in 1928 in Tehran and named "Institute of Communications". It was later expanded with an Electronic and Electrical Power Engineering department. The department of Civil Engineering was founded in 1955 as an institute of Surveying. This institute was later joined by the institutes of Hydraulic Engineering and Structural Engineering. The department of Mechanical Engineering was founded in 1973. These institutes of higher education were formally integrated in 1980 and named "Technical and Engineering University Complex". As a general practice of paying tribute to the scientific and scholastic figures of the nation, the university was renamed in 1984"Khajeh Nassir-Al-Deen Toosi (K.N.Toosi) University of Technology". This university is officiated with the Ministry of Culture and Higher Education and all its levels of education are offered freely.

Ever since the foundation of this institute of higher education, new advanced and postgraduate programs have been initiated as needs have developed and as funds and facilities were made available. At present, the university offers bachelor's (B.S.) degrees in 12 and master's (M.S.) degrees in 13 academic fields. The courses offered have industrial orientation on a broad base. The university has 170 full-time faculty members. The total number of students is about 3,000.
