The Civil Engineering Department is the oldest engineering department in Iraq. It was formed in 1921 as a simple nucleus, the School of Engineering, which was established to train graduates of elementary school in irrigation work. Over several years, it developed into the first department in the College of Engineering when it opened in 1942, and admission to the department for high school graduates was initially a four-year program that awarded a diploma, which later became a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering.<\/p>\n

The department aims to prepare competent engineers who are capable of creativity and keeping up with engineering and scientific developments. Over the years, it has witnessed significant development in terms of horizontal and vertical scientific capacity and capabilities, with a significant expansion in the number of graduates and sub-specialties.<\/p>\n

In the field of graduate studies, the Civil Engineering Department was the first to award a master’s and doctoral degree in civil engineering in Iraq, where graduate studies were opened in 1960 to meet the country’s need for researchers and specialists in civil engineering branches through the granting of higher degrees. It is noteworthy that the first student to pursue a master’s degree in civil engineering was Assistant Professor retired Zuhair Mikhail Sako, who enrolled in 1963 and graduated in 1965 under the supervision of Professor Yervant Ozanian. The first PhD in civil engineering was awarded by the department in the field of fluid mechanics in 1978 to graduate engineer Fadel Ali under the supervision of Professor Jameel Issa Al-Malaki.<\/p>\n

Throughout the history of the Department of Civil Engineering, a number of prominent civil engineering figures and pioneers in Iraq have taken turns leading it, starting with the esteemed Dr. Mahdi Hantoush since the department’s inception. Fourteen professors have subsequently taken on the department’s leadership, all of whom have contributed to supporting its progress and establishing its scientific foundations. Among them are pioneers of civil engineering such as Dr. Jameel Issa Al-Malaki, Dr. Faraj Tajerian, Dr. Khaled Shaker Mahmoud, Professor Hamed Mahmoud Hamdo, Dr. Zain Al-Abidin Raouf, Dr. Riyadh Al-Rawi, Dr. Youssef Al-Shukurji, Dr. Musa Jawad Al-Mousawi, Dr. Riyadh Al-Mahdi, and others who will be mentioned later.<\/p>\n

Since its establishment, the Department of Civil Engineering has contributed to providing scientific engineering services to the Iraqi society. Its academic staff provide engineering and technical advice, in addition to designing various projects for the Iraqi state, such as bridges, residential buildings, hospitals, factories, road networks, sewage networks, pumping and lifting stations, water networks, filtration units and complexes, and other basic and service projects.<\/p>\n
