Department of Prosthetic Engineering
about the department
The Department of Prosthetic Engineering at Al-Kitab University, established in December 2024, is a pioneering academic program dedicated to advancing artificial limb technology, biomechanics, and rehabilitation engineering. This department was founded to address the growing demand for highly skilled prosthetic engineers in Iraq and the region, particularly to support war amputees, accident survivors, and individuals with congenital limb differences.
Our program integrates engineering principles, medical sciences, and advanced manufacturing to develop state-of-the-art prosthetic and orthotic devices. Students receive hands-on training in 3D printing, robotic prosthetics, neural interfaces, and biomechanical analysis, ensuring they are prepared to innovate in medical rehabilitation technology.
The department collaborates with hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and global research institutions to ensure our curriculum meets international standards while addressing local healthcare needs.
