Head of the Electrical Engineering Department
The Electrical Engineering Department was established in 2012. The Department is aimed to prepare qualified electrical engineers with theoretical and practical backgrounds to practice their specialties and contribute to the implementation of the development plan. The Department of Electrical Engineering offers an undergraduate degree, namely Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. In addition to a master’s degree in electrical engineering sciences. The B.Sc. program is a four-year on-campus offered during the daytime every day except Friday and Saturday, and with a traditional lecture/laboratory course style. The M.Sc. Program is two academic years. The department also contains talented teaching staff, engineers, technical and administrative personnel. The department contains ten laboratories in various engineering specialties to meet the needs of all academic levels.
Adopting open minds to teach, encourage and learn novel ideas.
To prepare Electrical Engineering students for successful careers via providing them with transferable skills, helping them gain experience and developing their sense of curiosity and critical thinking.
The graduates of B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering (EE) program will:
- Engage in Electrical Engineering profession in public and private sectors including, but not limited to, relevant governmental sectors, consulting firms, contracting companies, marketing, and entrepreneurship.
- Participate in ongoing professional development activities by pursuing graduate studies and/or other learning opportunities to respond to arising challenges.
- Advance their careers by taking responsibility and leadership.
The department has 27 academic members with different academic background. For further details on the department academic staff CLICK HERE
For 2021, the number of students are 111 for first class, 53 for the second class, 41 for third class, and 63 for fourth class.
Due to the pandemic of COVID19, the civil engineering department doubles their efforts for providing the video lectures to their students and all other students who knows Arabic. These video lectures are arranged according to the classes they belong to. Please follow the link in below.
· Practical Application of Procedural Methods Course at the College of Engineering
The Department of Electrical Engineering at Wasit University conducted a training workshop on March 6, 2022, focused on the practical implementation of procedural methods.

· Ministerial Committee Visit for Accreditation of MSc in Internet of Things (IoT) at the University of Wasit
The Department of Electrical Engineering, welcomed a ministerial committee on May 15, 2023. This committee was tasked with assessing the feasibility of accrediting a Master’s program in Internet of Things (IoT) Engineering.
The committee’s visit involved a comprehensive evaluation of the department’s infrastructure including academic facilities, laboratories, classrooms, and the college library. The purpose was to ensure that these resources meet the necessary standards for postgraduate studies in IoT Engineering.
Following their assessment, the committee has confirmed that all the necessary requirements have been met. Subsequently, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research has granted its approval for the accreditation of the program.
It’s worth noting that this pioneering project in the IoT field is funded by Erasmus+ in collaboration with the European Union. The program is being developed in partnership with four European universities and four Iranian universities, and it promises to establish IoT engineering as a significant field of study in Iraq.
· Review of Master’s Project Plans
On June 4, 2023, the Department of Electrical Engineering organized a series of evaluation sessions aimed at reviewing and providing feedback on the research plans of Master’s students. These sessions focused on the research general framework of a group of Master’s students and was part of the broader initiative to enhance the quality of their research projects.
