Given the role and importance, it is vital to assess their curricula quality from different perspectives. Thus, in this research and based on students viewpoints, quality and position of curricula elements (goals, content, scientific literacy and teaching methods, timetable, educational equipments and evaluation procedures) were analyzed. The total population include all of the engineering students in Kashan University in the academic year 1390-91. By using random sampling method, sample group (231) students were selected. The data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire. To analyze the data, appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The results indicate that from the view of students, quality of instruction and curricula courses in engineering faculty was about average and therefore they need considerable changes.
