Speech of the Honorable Dean of the College of Engineering
Prof. Dr. Firas Faeq Kazim
From the fragrance of civilization and the cradle of heavenly religions and the birthplace of the father of the prophets, Abraham Al-Khaleel peace be upon him, from the land that clarified the meaning of history and invented timing and wrote the first letter for humanity, from the land of Ur, Sumer and Lagash, the College of Engineering was launched to be one of the tributaries that illuminated the lanterns of science and knowledge at Al-Ayen Iraqi University. The College of Engineering, as one of the founding colleges of Al-Ayen Iraqi University in 2017, has taken important steps towards preparing engineers capable of gaining the trust of institutions operating in the public and private sectors, which facilitates their integration into the labor market with quality and efficiency.
Our college relied on the actual need for engineering specializations appropriate for the labor market. The college was established starting with the Department of Petroleum Engineering in the academic year 2017-2018, then the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and AI Engineering were established in the academic year 2023-2024, and then the Department of Laser and Optoelectronics Engineering (OEE) was established in the academic year 2024-2025 to represent a true reflection of the university’s vision and mission based on innovation and excellence in cognitive and academic output.
The College of Engineering at Al-Ayen Iraqi University is distinguished by its interest in the quality and sobriety of the educational process and providing a suitable university environment for its dear students by providing an experienced academic staff with vast scientific experience and from different local and foreign nationalities, in addition to its interest in providing specialized laboratories that work to integrate theoretical lectures with practical experience that contributes to the formation of an experienced engineer capable of facing all challenges in the labor market.
In view of the qualitative leaps witnessed by the world in the field of cognitive work and the diversity of engineering specializations and the importance of engineering as a basic science in building human civilization, the College of Engineering is working on future plans to expand horizontally by creating departments with qualitative and rare specializations and vertically by preparing to create postgraduate studies, in addition to encouraging scientific research and activating the principle of research groups in order to produce applied research that serves a sustainable society. The College of Engineering also emphasizes constructive community and academic interaction with all aspects of work, internally and internationally, through twinning programs held by Al-Ayen Iraqi University with reputable universities that fall within the approved international classifications.
