We have both educational goals and research goals and view the two as mutually reinforcing. Each goal is presented in this section and refined into a set of “general objectives”. Recognizing that it is necessary to monitor progress toward our goals continuously and to refine this Plan regularly, we will continue to review, revise and adapt it to our changing departmental and institutional mission and a changing world.
Educational goals:-
- Encourage the participation of all academically talented students and faculty with special efforts to ensure access to groups traditionally underrepresented in the field of biomedical engineering.
- Create an environment where both junior and senior faculty can grow, with senior faculty mentoring junior faculty.
- Ensure that students have an understanding of biology and physiology along with the capability to apply advanced mathematics, science, engineering and integrated methods of modeling to the solution of interdisciplinary problems at the interface of engineering and the biological sciences.
- Provide the foundation for a successful career in the graduate’s field of choice, including industry, medicine, and biomedical research.
- Produce future leaders of academia, industry and medicine.
Research Objectives:
- Be an acknowledged leader in academic biomedical engineering research.
- To serve as a focal center for collaborative biomedical engineering research in the Iraq through our consortium with the other private and governmental medical centers.
