About the Department
The department was established in 1987-1988 under the leadership of Dr. Tahseen Ali Hussein, and many scientifically and administratively competent professors have subsequently chaired it. Initially, the department included two branches (Automobiles and Refrigeration). Currently, it is headed by Assistant Lecturer Ahmed Hassan Tawfiq.
In 1993, the Automobile branch was transferred to Al-Kufa Technical Institute as part of the state’s austerity policy during the economic embargo period at that time.
The department prepares students scientifically, technically, and skillfully to handle various heating and refrigeration devices and systems for diverse industrial, medical, automotive, and household applications, including design, installation, periodic maintenance, troubleshooting, and drafting under the supervision of experienced and well-known professors.
Hundreds of qualified students have graduated from the department, some of whom completed their university and postgraduate studies and assumed academic and administrative positions at the university.
The department, through its professors, staff, and students, has contributed to the maintenance, restoration, and rehabilitation of various advanced refrigeration devices and systems and has provided consultations to sacred shrines such as the Holy Alawi Shrine, Hanana Mosque, and the Grand Mosque of Kufa.
