Department Vision:

To establish biomedical engineering as a leading modern discipline that embodies collaborative principles between the medical and engineering fields, incorporating all aspects of medical knowledge and advanced engineering innovations.

The department pursues several strategic objectives, summarized as follows, to fulfill its vision:

1. The educational program aims to empower students to function as part of a team and prepare them for lifelong learning throughout their academic or professional careers.
2. Integration of scientific knowledge into practical use, providing students with a strong background in the fundamentals of biomedical engineering to facilitate their continuous progress in the field.
3. Graduating engineers with broad scientific and engineering knowledge in engineering applications and medical fields, enabling them to maintain and operate medical devices.
4. Equipping engineers with a knowledge of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic concepts associated with modern engineering technologies in the medical field.
5. Updating and developing medical devices and software to support physicians in diagnostic and therapeutic tasks.
6. Cultivating a scientific and engineered-oriented personality capable of meeting the requirements of the job market, whether in the private or public sector, in the biomedical engineering field, with self-development and adaptability according to supply and demand.
7. Developing competent engineering personnel capable of communicating with all stakeholders in the medical community to meet the requirements of the Iraqi Ministry of Health and other relevant institutions.
8. The program aims to develop students’ capabilities to solve problems with a commitment to considering environmental, ethical, and social aspects, in addition to technological considerations.
9. Producing high-quality biomedical engineering graduates based on competency rather than quantity.
10. Ensuring that students are capable of proposing valid research projects and are able to map out their completion within a specified timeframe.

Department Mission:

To prepare engineering professionals in the field of biomedical engineering who possess self-development capabilities, problem analysis and solving skills, and the ability to keep pace with rapid changes in this field to serve both the public and private sectors in the country.

To achieve the above departmental mission, several educational objectives have been set, which can be summarized as follows:

Secondly, educational objectives for the Biomedical Engineering Department:

The departmental council has defined the educational objectives for the department’s program (Program Educational Objectives, or PEO) as follows, encompassing seven objectives:

1. Develop scientific skills for updating and developing medical devices and equipment.
2. Enhance technical skills related to the maintenance, operation, and management of medical devices and equipment.
3. Build soft skills that enable engineers to analyze and solve problems autonomously.
4. Develop engineers’ communication skills with all parties in the medical community, particularly in bridging the gap between physicians and engineers.
5. Adopt an approach to creativity and innovation in all teaching methods instead of rote learning.
6. Cultivate engineers knowledgeable in various overlapping specialties to serve the fields of biomedical mechanical, electronic, electrical engineering, information technology, and various medical sciences.
7. Understand the human body’s biomechanics to enable interaction with artificial limbs and organs.

Thirdly, developing a plan for the department to implement the educational objectives above:

The stakeholders have convened to develop a plan to implement the aforementioned objectives, summarized as follows:

1. Continuously monitor and update theoretical and practical curricula to keep pace with developments in the field.
2. Update laboratories with modern equipment.
3. Conduct regular training courses and workshops for students to develop soft skills.
4. Focus on summer training and scientific trips to medical institutions for students to interact with the primary and supporting medical personnel and communities.
5. Establish partnerships and collaboration mechanisms with private and mixed-sector institutions and companies, relying on the industrial advisory council to provide constructive opinions and suggestions.
6. In the early stages, develop and incorporate general engineering curricula such as mathematics, basic electricity, and mechanics to prepare students for comprehensive engineering thinking and analysis, and link the specialization with other engineering disciplines.
7. Establish a biomechanics laboratory and enrich it with an integrated practical curriculum.

The alignment of the educational program’s objectives with the department’s mission:

The department’s mission closely aligns with the goals of biomedical engineering.
