The Emergence of the Department:
The Control and Systems
Department was established in 1975, the same year in which the
University of Technology was established. It is the first of its
kind in the Middle East. The department was established in
response to the leap of quality that the country is currently
experiencing in the introduction of advanced technology and
methods used for automatic control in industry, mainly, and all
other areas in general. The department deals mainly with the
study of various engineering systems (electrical, mechanical,
hydraulic and rheumatic) in order to control and thus improve
the accuracy and quality of performance by using the appropriate
automatic control devices. The department is also concerned in
the study of the uses of electronic computers and control
devices in the operations of heavy industry and for the same
purpose above. The industry of oil refining and distribution,
power generation, and the manufacture of iron and steel and
other heavy industries all depend, one way or another, on
advanced control devices. The same is true in light industries
such as food, bottling, and paper industry ... etc.
The department is currently preparing specialized staffs in the
areas of control engineering, computers and their applications
at the level of undergraduate study; preliminary and technical.
