A brief overview of the department

The Medical Instrumentation Techniques Engineering Department was established in 1994 and the first class of graduates graduated in the academic year 1997-1998. In our department, the student studies various theoretical and practical lessons, 65 theoretical hours and 90 practical hours during a period of four academic years, based on the Bologna system for the first stage and the curriculum system for the other stages of study, in addition to summer training for 8 weeks during the summer vacation for the second and third levels. The graduate is awarded a Bachelor of Technology degree (B.TECH) in the specialty of medical device technology engineering, and a graduate of our department is accepted as a member of the Iraqi Engineers Syndicate and has the same rights as engineers who graduate from other specializations in engineering colleges in universities.

Vision

The vision of the Medical Instrumentation Techniques Engineering Department is to prepare students to be applied engineers who are knowledgeable about modern medical instrumentation techniques. Furthermore, providing an academic environment and community services that keep up with the rapid development of medical devices, as well as providing the most up-to-date study programs to keep up with the scientific departments corresponding to the Department of Medical Device Technologies Engineering in reputable Arab and international universities.

Mission

The aim of the Medical Device Technology Engineering Department is to create an educational, technical, and research environment for students through the implementation of modern educational programs and curriculum that demonstrate the significance of this specialism. Providing scientific curricula, practical laboratories, and advanced applied research to replicate the demands of the labor market, opening up to health institutions, and contributing to the improvement of the global and regional health situation

Scientific Aims

Graduate Objectives, Goals and Job Description:

• Graduating engineers with scientific and practical abilities for diagnosing and repairing faults in medical device parts.

• Preparing qualified engineers who can keep up with the rapid development in the field of medical devices and providing them with the skills essential to create and modernize medical devices.

• Installation and operation of different diagnostic and therapeutic electrical and electromechanical medical devices.

• Contribute to and supervise the calibration, maintenance, and repair of various medical devices.

• Design, development, and specific decisions—making for certain medical device parts.

• Scheduling and planning routine maintenance tasks.

Program Aim:

This department aims to graduate a practical engineer concerned with new practices in the field of medical instrumentation.

Mode and Duration of Study:

Overall study in the Department of Medical Instrumentation Techniques Engineering requires four levels (Eight Semesters). Each semester consists of 15-weeks.

Goals:

This subfield of engineering is intended to prepare students for careers as “applied” engineers who are experienced in the latest developments in their areas of specialization, such as those related to medical devices. through:

1. Installs and operates electronic and electromechanical medical instruments used for  diagnosis, surgery, and therapy.
2. Suggests periodic maintenance tables for medical instruments.
3. Participate in maintaining and calibrating different medical instruments.
4. Designs, develops, and try to use suitable substitutes for faulty units in medical instruments.

Graduation Requirements:

The majority of subjects are taught exclusively in English. Students attend and teach on-campus and online courses to assist students comprehend fundamental medical device engineering principles. Each academic year is evaluated using assignments, end-of-semester exams, and a senior project at the fourth-grade level. Undergraduate students are required to complete 67 courses throughout eight semesters and four academic levels with a cumulative average of at least 60 percent.
