About Department

Mission & Vision Statement
 
Vision Statement
Upgrading the Engineering Department to be one of the best scientific departments in the College of Engineering / Al-Nahrain University in the whole country, and for Al-Nahrain University to be among the top 500 accredited universities in the world through teaching and laboratories upgrading, as well as developing curricula in line with the requirements of the labor market by preparing engineers in Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering sciences and providing society with a number of graduates in postgraduate degrees (MSc and Ph.D.) in applied mechanics and thermal power.
 
Mission Statement
1.      Graduating highly qualified ethical mechanical engineers.
2.      Building qualified leadership in its graduates through teaching aids, teamwork and professionalism at work.
3.      Instilling in graduates the spirit for acquiring knowledge and continuing learning.
4.      Contributing ideas for projects and carrying out research for the benefit and development of the community.
5.       Advising the students and encouraging them to use and develop their skills.
 
 
 
 
Program Goals
Based on the missions of Al-Nahrain University and the College of Engineering, the graduate of the B.Sc. program in Mechanical Engineering will be able to:
1.      Use science, mathematics, computational thinking, and mechanical engineering ideas, such as design theory, experimental techniques, and production, to solve practical problems.
2.      Practice strong critical thinking, innovation, and problem-solving skills in order to pursue a successful career while demonstrating adherence to the professional codes of conduct and professional accountability.
3.      Use effective communication skills and participate in multi-disciplinary partnerships to demonstrate professional progress and leadership and demonstrate an appreciation and use of modern technological capabilities and to foster collaborative effort among co-workers and other institutions.
4.      Work independently and in multidisciplinary teams to efficiently attain personal and organizational objectives, produce a product or construction that meets a social need, and contribute in teaching persons in the field.
5.      Engage in life-long learning and career growth while maintaining professional and ethical standards and pursue further education in the form of graduate and professional studies.
6.      Identify opportunities to contribute to the development of society life from a variety of positions, ranging from design and produce modern devices and introducing the cost effective methods in production.
 
Student Learning Outcomes
The Mechanical Engineering Department has determined, after careful consideration of the ABET Criteria and the program's goals, that the seven criteria of the ABET Accreditation Process represent the essence of our pedagogical mission. Therefore, the outcomes (1-7) were chosen as the Mechanical Engineering Student Learning Outcomes. The Student Learning Outcomes of the mechanical engineering program are as follows:
 

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. 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.
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
