A brief overview of the department

The computer techniques engineering department was established in 1993 and the number of students accepted that year was 50 students. The department is considered the first nucleus for establishing the Technical Engineering College Mosul. In the academic year 1998-1999, evening studies were introduced in the department. The master’s degree program was introduced in the department in 2002. The department’s graduate is awarded a bachelor’s degree in computer technology engineering. The department has supplied many state departments and the private sector with qualified engineers and many teaching staff in various Iraqi universities.

Vision

The Computer Engineering Department aims to be one of the most distinguished scientific departments and to be a pioneering and active department within the college in the field of computer engineering. Making it scientifically prominent, raising the quality of higher education and academic research by using advanced technologies to contribute to the development and service of the local and regional community by providing competent and qualified personnel, highly qualified in acquiring knowledge and using the latest scientific technologies in the presence of an open competitive market. It also aims to develop scientific research that contributes to the effectiveness of education.

Mission

The Computer Science Department contributes to the implementation of the academic message that the college aims to achieve. It also prepares competent computer engineers who are able to meet the needs of the local labor market in the fields of network and communications engineering and electronics engineering. Thus the computer engineer can link the theoretical and scientific sides with the applied programs to comply with quality standards and to meet the needs of the government, mixed, and private sectors. It also adopts modeling of computer and mathematical principles and reaching intellectual integration and raising the student to a level of ambition that serves the Iraqi society. It also aspires to reach the international level.
