Dear Students,

Honorable Graduates, Esteemed Faculty and Staff Members, Respected Visitors, It is with great pride and honor that I welcome you to the official website of the Basrah Engineering Technical College. This platform serves not only as a gateway to academic knowledge but also as a center for intellectual collaboration and innovation—where bright minds come together to address engineering challenges and transform theoretical concepts into sustainable, impactful applications in industry and society. 

A Legacy of Academic Excellence Established in 1994, in Basrah Province, southern Iraq, the college began its academic journey with two foundational departments:

  • Fuel and Energy Engineering Technologies, and
  • Petrochemical Engineering Technologies

These departments were founded in response to the urgent needs of the national labor market in the domains of energy and industrial development. In the years that followed, the college expanded significantly:

  • 1998: The establishment of the Environmental and Pollution Engineering Technologies Department, reinforcing the college’s commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
  • 1999: The launch of the Electrical Power Engineering Technologies Department, addressing the rising demand for energy driven by population growth and industrial expansion.
  • 2000: The foundation of the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineering Technologies Department, enhancing support for the region’s rapidly growing industrial infrastructure.
  • 2019: The introduction of the Control and Automation Engineering Technologies Department, in alignment with global industrial trends toward automation and intelligent systems.

Academic Development and Departmental Reforms

In response to evolving industrial and market demands, several departments underwent structural and nominal reforms:

  • The Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineering Department became the

Thermal Mechanics Engineering Technologies Department

  • The Petrochemical Engineering Technologies Department was renamed to

Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering Technologies Department

  • The Electrical Power Engineering Department evolved into the

Electrical Engineering Technologies Department

Postgraduate Excellence

The college has achieved a significant milestone in postgraduate education by launching Master’s and Doctoral programs in both:

  • Thermal Mechanics Engineering Technologies, and
  • Electrical Engineering Technologies

 

These programs aim to foster applied scientific research and to prepare highly specialized engineers capable of advancing Iraq’s industrial and academic landscape.

Commitment to Innovation, Sustainability, and Quality Aligned with the college’s vision to lead technical engineering education through innovation and excellence, we remain committed to:

  • Preparing highly qualified engineering professionals
  • Supporting sustainable development goals
  • Meeting the dynamic requirements of local and global job markets

 

We strive to provide a comprehensive educational environment, rooted in technical creativity and practical application. Our approach includes:
