Establishment, Vision, Mission and Objectives
Since its establishment in 2015 as the Biomedical Engineering Department, this specialization has become one of the most important disciplines locally and globally. It has contributed significantly to the development of new technologies that contribute to improving healthcare by integrating engineering and medicine, reflecting our commitment to meet the needs of society in the fields of medicine and advanced technology.
On April 17, 2025, on the golden jubilee anniversary of the establishment of the University of Technology, the scientific departments were transformed into colleges by a historic ministerial decision, and the Biomedical Engineering Department became known as the College of Biomedical Engineering. The college consists of two main departments: Biomedical Instrumentation Engineering and Biomechanical Engineering, allowing for a specialized focus on each area of biomedical engineering.
In line with modern trends and the country’s needs in the fields of health and technology, a master’s degree program in biomedical engineering has been introduced as of the academic year 2025-2026. This program aims to prepare highly qualified specialized cadres capable of addressing contemporary challenges in the health sector by developing innovative technology solutions that meet the needs of the local and international markets.
In this context, as the President of the University pointed out in his speech, the University of Technology is constantly striving to achieve academic excellence and develop scientific leaders across engineering and scientific disciplines. We at the College of Biomedical Engineering are working together with the other faculties of the university to achieve this vision by developing innovative academic programs, promoting scientific research, and providing qualified cadres that contribute to providing society with advanced medical solutions.
We look forward to achieving more academic and research achievements, and we wish all our students and faculty members continued success in their scientific and professional careers.
With best wishes for success and success.

Vision
To prepare graduates capable of keeping pace with developments in this modern specialty (Biomedical Engineering) and applying their expertise to serve the labor market in the public or private sectors.
– The department aims to be one of the most distinguished engineering departments among Iraqi universities in preparing its students to work in state health institutions. It aims to be an active element and a distinguished link between engineering and medicine, in coordination with the Ministry of Health and international research centers, to keep up with qualitative developments in the field of biomedical engineering.
Mission
The Department of Biomedical Engineering was established in 2015 and admitted a select group of outstanding students from high school graduates with a minimum average of 95%. This is due to the importance of this type of engineering at present and the country’s need for this specialization following the tremendous development of medical devices and the wide intersection of engineering in the medical field. The multiple engineering applications in this field have become necessary at present.
The study in this department takes five years to obtain a bachelor’s degree, producing biomedical engineers who work in various fields and contribute to community building. Biomedical engineering is one of the newest engineering sciences that emerged with the development of modern medicine. The medical device has become an essential companion to the doctor in diagnosis, treatment, and patient monitoring.
Objectives
1. Achieving scientific integration in the fields of engineering and medicine. The department provides a comprehensive curriculum that ensures the graduation of an engineer with medical background knowledge, enabling them to interact with various scientific levels from physicians to technical and engineering staff, and ending with the patient.
2. Integrating engineering and medical knowledge to provide the scientific and practical background for graduates of biomedical engineering in both specialties (medical technology and biomechanics).
