Vision

The department was established in 1998 under the name “Department of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineering.” In 2018, the department’s title was revised to “Department of Power Mechanical Engineering,” expanding its scope to encompass three specialized scientific branches based on the credit hours system. These branches are:

• Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Branch.

• Renewable Energy Branch.

• Production and Automation Branch.

In 2022, the Production and Automation Branch was separated to become an independent department due to its distinctive human and material resources. It was named the “Department of Applied Mechanical Techniques Engineering” The department welcomes students in both morning and evening sessions for the academic year 2023/2024, following the global Bologna system, which has been officially adopted by the ministry as the latest educational system. Additionally, the department provides opportunities for postgraduate studies, including a Master’s in Applied Mechanical Techniques Engineering for the academic year 2024/2025.

Mission

Providing an ideal learning environment for students involves combining theoretical and practical aspects through organizing valuable scientific lectures in specialized fields, conducting interactive laboratory experiments that enhance hands-on learning. Additionally, engaging students in creative scientific research connected to both local and global environments, with the aim of serving the community and offering innovative engineering solutions to develop their skills and experiences, meets the evolving needs of the job market.

Objectives

The department aims to provide high-quality technical education by keeping pace with the rapid technological advancements worldwide. This includes modernizing the curriculum to establish the foundations of technological progress. The department also strives to equip graduates with skills and experiences that meet market demands, ensuring and confirming the quality of educational outcomes for future engineering professionals.

The department looks forward to graduating distinguished applied engineers in the field of modern applications and devices, capable of:

1-Graduating students capable of simulating the job market with initial knowledge and skills.

2- Designing and implementing installation and operation plans for modern devices.

3- Installing and operating devices and machines based on correct principles in line with the vision of designing and manufacturing companies.

4- Contributing to and supervising the maintenance of various devices and units.

5- Researching, developing, and finding alternative parts for units that may experience malfunctions.

6- Working according to the methodology of preventive maintenance and activating its mechanisms systematically.

Describe the Work of the Graduate

The qualification of graduates during the bachelor’s program is the primary strength sought by the faculty and technical staff, spanning over four years of university study. The goal is to enable them to build knowledge qualifying them for a bachelor’s degree in Applied Mechanical Techniques Engineering at the college and university. This is achieved through designing, studying, analyzing, endorsing recommendations, and making decisions related to work components and devices using modern techniques.

Graduates of this program often find themselves at a crossroads of important career paths, including:

• Study and analysis.

• Research and development.

• Design and construction.

Thanks to this specialization, the graduate is qualified to perform the following engineering tasks:

1- Perform mathematical calculations and design mechanical parts using computers, and study the economic feasibility of various projects in the field of specialization.

2- Diagnose faults and perform maintenance and repair work for mechanical systems in industrial and service purposes.

3- Conduct research, studies, and explore alternatives in the field of specialization.

4- Design production lines using various manufacturing methods to achieve maximum efficiency.

5- Improve production processes and control devices and machinery.

6- Manage machine operations using the latest technologies.
