Industrial Advisory Board – Department of Building and Construction Techniques Engineering
Technical Engineering College – Mosul | Northern Technical University
As part of its commitment to fostering a strategic partnership between academia and industry, the Department of Building and Construction Techniques Engineering has established an Industrial Advisory Board composed of distinguished engineers and technical experts representing various public and private sector engineering entities within Nineveh Governorate, alongside selected faculty members from the department. The board serves as a consultative platform dedicated to guiding the department’s academic programs toward alignment with current and future labor market demands. It reviews the program’s educational objectives, assesses student learning outcomes and graduate competencies, and offers evidence-based recommendations for curriculum enhancement, all in accordance with national and international academic quality standards. Regular meetings are held at least once per academic semester to discuss curriculum updates, analyze industry feedback, and ensure continuous improvement. Additionally, the board supports the integration of applied knowledge into the academic experience by promoting joint initiatives such as technical workshops, expert-led seminars, and field-based training, thereby strengthening students’ practical skills and professional readiness. The Industrial Advisory Board plays a vital role within the department’s quality assurance framework by evaluating the achievement of learning outcomes, supporting continuous program development, and facilitating meaningful collaboration between the college and the engineering sector.
