Postgraduate in control and systems engineering department has been
founded in (1975-1976) in order to create specialized staffs to keep
pace with the industrial developments in that
time. First cycle of Higher Diploma in Applied Computer Engineering has
been first opened and it was only one year to get higher diploma
certificate.
Six cycles have been graduated since (1982-1981) ,the number of
graduates was (102).then a common study in form of institute was
established between the university of technology and the national center
of computers (which was linked with the ministry of planning at that
time) and then it linked with the ministry of higher education and
research (today it is called as Iraqi Commission for Computers and
Informatics ).
In the year
(1976-1977), the department opened the master's study in control and
instruments engineering as well as computers engineering. Ph.D. study in
control and computers engineering has been opened in 1995 and master's
study in mechatronics engineering has been introduced in 1996 and Ph.D.
study for the same discipline in 2002. Since the late nineties, there
were three courses graduation for doctorate degree and three for
master’s degree for the three fields:
1- Control and Instruments Engineering.
2- Computer Engineering.
3- Mechatronics Engineering.
The terms to
be eligible for acceptance in the postgraduate study
In order to
apply to the post graduate study (Master degree) in the department
the applicant should have a Bachelor degree in control and systems
engineering in one of the department's three specialties: control,
computer, mechatronics, and have no less than 65% as an average
within the first quarters of graduates in his year of graduation and
that according to the instructions issued by the ministry of higher
education and scientific research. While in order to get a doctorate
degree it has been required from the applicant to have a Master
degree in the desired field and because of the exceptional
circumstances that the country has been through, the doctorate
study has been suspended since the year( 2003-2004), the master
study also suspended for the academic year (2005-2006),and then
the Master study for the Mechatronics engineering has been re-opened
for the academic year (2010-2011)and (7)students has been admitted
that year and the year after that the master study for the computer
engineering also re-opened for a total number of admitted students
(11),While the admission procedure continued for the Master study In
Mechatronics engineering and( 13) student were eligible for
acceptances .For the academic year ( 2012-2013) the department
admitted (10 )students for the postgraduate study.
Hence the re-opening of the post graduate study requires
the availability of at least the minimum number of advanced
teaching staff ,the instruments ,and the financial
allocations. And there are good
indicators encourages the re-opening of the master study in
Control and Mechatronics fields for the academic year
(2014-2015).
