Department of Medical Devices Engineering Technology
Al-Hussein University College established the Department of Medical Device Engineering Technology in 2010, as one of the engineering departments required in the labor market and is considered the first among private universities and colleges. The duration of study is four academic years, during which the graduate is awarded a Bachelor's degree in Medical Device Engineering Technology. The main reason for establishing the department is the need of the labor market for engineers specialized in designing, developing, examining and maintaining medical devices to serve the Iraqi community based on the health sector's need for this specialty, especially after the major industrial revolutions in the field of medical devices, as medical device engineering technology is considered one of the latest engineering sciences that emerged with the development of modern medicine, as the highly developed medical device has become an essential counterpart to the doctor in diagnosing, treating and monitoring patients. Therefore, one of the priorities of developing the department's curricula was to harness the basics of electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering in addition to physics, chemistry and medical sciences for the student to combine medical knowledge with engineering depth in order to understand the mechanism of each system and direct his knowledge and specialization to maintain and develop these devices and to be able to deal with doctors and their needs to serve patients. Over the four academic years, the student will gain experience from highly qualified instructors, which will help him understand the basics of engineering and medical sciences and enhance his scientific, research and educational capabilities, so that he graduates as an engineer capable of dealing with medical devices and the needs of doctors and patients alike with efficiency, professionalism and high morals.
