Control Engineering Branch

The Control Engineering branch was established in 1986 and is considered the only one of its kind in Iraq. This branch graduates engineers specialized in Control Engineering to integrate them into the workforce and develop Iraqi industry. The aim of the Control Engineering branch is to provide undergraduate students with subjects related to all fields of Control Engineering according to global standards. These subjects include building a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, electronics, engineering drawing, applied mechanical engineering, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, programming techniques, electrical machines, measurements, components, and the basics of communication engineering. These are followed by specialized courses such as control engineering theories, advanced control engineering, system identification, programmable controllers, digital signal processing, industrial engineering, computer control, robotics, programmable machines, process control, adaptive control, intelligent control systems, microprocessors, microcontrollers, computer interfacing, and engineering projects. The Control Engineering branch is equipped with laboratories to support all available fields of control engineering, preparing students to effectively and efficiently handle applied engineering work.

Educational Goals

  • First: To provide engineers with the required fundamentals and skills in the specialties of Control Engineering.
  • Second: To prepare qualified engineers commensurate with the ethical and social responsibilities awaiting them in the workplace.
  • Third :to provide engineers with the opportunity to pursue their postgraduate studies and subsequently to succeed in their control engineering careers.
  • forth:To strengthen the engineers’ communication abilities and encourage the spirit of teamwork with others.

Research Trends

The professors of the branch are interested in several research topics including:

    1. robot
    2. artificial intelligence
    3. Computer control engineering
    4. Adaptive control
    5. Neural networks
    6. Fuzzy logic
    7. Genetic algorithm
    8. Measurement devices
    9. Applications of estimation theories.

Control Engineering (CE) Graduate Outcomes (GOs):

 Students from the CE program will attain (by the time of graduation):

    1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve control engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
    2. An ability to apply the engineering design process to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration for public health and safety, and global, cultural, social, environmental, economic, and other factors as appropriate to the discipline
    3. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
    4. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
    5. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
    6. An ability to recognize the ongoing need to acquire new knowledge, to choose appropriate learning strategies, and to apply this knowledge
    7. An ability to function effectively as a member or leader of a team that establishes goals, plans tasks, meets deadlines, and creates a collaborative and inclusive environment.
