Mechanical Techniques Department

For the Mechanical Techniques Department to be a leader in preparing distinguished technical staff possessing scientific and practical skills in mechanical fields, effectively contributing to the development of local and regional industry, in line with labor market requirements and modern technological developments.

The Mechanical Department adopts a general mission based on the framework of technical education in Iraq, a mission it strives to achieve each year to highlight the department’s distinction. The general objectives focus on graduating national technical staff with a level of education and training capable of embracing technological systems and supporting the path of technical development to keep pace with rapid global technological developments.

The specific mission includes:

• Using computer and internet technologies in education and training.
• Activating the relationship with the private sector in training areas.
• Following up on the development of training plan curricula and then updating laboratories and workshops.
• Interacting with the labor market and community needs in qualification and training.

The Production Branch aims to prepare technical staff who serve as a link between the specialist and the skilled worker. The department prepares and equips the graduate with theoretical, applied, and practical knowledge to be able to carry out the tasks assigned to him/her.

The graduate of this branch is qualified to work in the field of device maintenance and implementation of electrical and industrial installations. He/she can repair machinery, wind electric motors, install, operate, maintain and manage various electrical machines and household electrical appliances. He/she can schedule and organize electrical maintenance workshops, prepare periodic maintenance work, and monitor and follow up industrial production lines, their sequence of work and operation.
