On Sunday, March 10th, 2024, the Biomedical Engineering Department organized the final match of the department's football championship at the University of Technology's stadium. The team from the second stage of the Biomedical Engineering Department clinched the championship by defeating the fourth-stage team with a score of 2-1. At the end of the match, the tournament's top scorer, the best player, the refereeing committee, and the organizing staff were honored by the Administrative Assistant, Dr. Hussein Jameel.

Under the esteemed patronage of Dr. Wissam Kazem, the respected Head of the Biomedical Engineering Department, the Women Empowerment Unit organized a special celebration on Monday, March 8th, at Al-Quds Hall, coinciding with the celebration of International Women's Day.

The celebration, executed and supervised by the Women Empowerment Committee in collaboration and coordination with the Scientific Assistant, focused on highlighting the pivotal role of women in society across various dimensions. Women are the driving force of change in society. They constitute half of society in terms of composition and influence in upbringing and formation. They are mothers, sisters, wives, grandmothers, teachers, caregivers, and workers. The positive change that societies aspire to achieve is greatly dependent on the status of women and their ability to fulfill their roles.

They play a fundamental role in building and nurturing their families, through their responsibilities as mothers in raising generations and managing family affairs as wives. As societies progress and evolve, women not only fulfill their duties towards their families and raising children but also have a significant social role in various fields based on their academic, cultural, and social qualifications.

Certificates of appreciation were distributed to the female faculty members and affiliates of the department by the Scientific Assistant, Dr. Janan Star Khushan, the Administrative Assistant, Dr. Hussein Jameel, the representative of the department's faculty, Dr. Ali Jalal, and the Head of the Medical Devices Branch, Dr. Alaa Mohammed.

Professor and students from the Biomedical Engineering Department participated in the university's dedicated pavilion at the Scientific Products Exhibition held at the University of Baghdad, on the occasion of the Annual Conference of the Arab Universities Union.

They showcased several outstanding graduation projects from the fifth stage, in addition to two patent applications submitted by Assistant Professor Dr. Saad Mahmoud Ali. These projects were distinguished by their integration of medical sciences and engineering, contributing to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, as well as improving quality of life. The projects were suitable for the needs of the job market and received significant attention from representatives of Arab and Iraqi universities, as well as esteemed attendees.

The pavilion was visited by His Excellency the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Dr. Naeem Al-Aboudi, and attended by the Vice President for Scientific Affairs and Graduate Studies, Professor Dr. Khulud Salah Khushan.

In light of activating mutual cooperation with private universities and colleges, the Department of Biomedical Engineering welcomed a group of students from the University of the Prophets' Heirs/Department of Biomedical Engineering, accompanied by a select group of faculty members:
