After a long struggle and a relentless movement, the Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) was established in 1987. The only university of its kind at that time, it started it’s career on the 1st Phalgun(13th of February 1991) with only three departments: Physics, Chemistry and Economics, 13 teachers and 205 students. It has now expanded to 7 schools, 27 departments and two institutes. The number of teachers has grown to 487 and the students to 9262. Besides, the University has 8 affiliated medical colleges under the School of Medical Sciences with 2744 students.
Every student from SUST has to take two language courses, one in Bangla and the other one in English. Every student also has to take two computer courses, one for computer literacy and the other to learn a computer language
The Central Library of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology started with a very small number of books and only four rooms in 1990 at the Academic Building ‘A’. It is now housed in its own 4-storied Central Library Building. The library provides 12 hour non-stop services from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on all working days.
Starting with a very meager collection, the library has now been enriched with more than 69 thousand books, 6 thousand hard copy journals/ periodicals and 23 Dailies for its users.
The Central Library has established a unique Muktijuddho Corner which is enriched with the Books, Posters, Maps, Videos, Documents, etc. on the Great Liberation War of Bangladesh held in 1971. The present collection of books in the Muktijuddho Corner is more than 2,000 titles.
The science and engineering education programs at SUST emphasize hands-on-experiences of students in labs. University labs play a central role in supporting faculty and student research.
