Under the patronage of the President of the University of Ninevah, Professor Dr. Osama Al-Mashhadani, and upon the guidance of the Dean of the College of Electronic Engineering, and under the supervision of the academic staff of the Biomedical Engineering Department, a scientific activity was held as part of a series of scientific events and activities organized by the department. These activities represent the outcomes of students’ inventions and innovations.
The scientific activity was conducted for third-year students and consisted of presentations of applied scientific projects in the field of biomedical devices. This activity reflects the University’s commitment to supporting innovation and invention, enhancing the practical aspects of the educational process, and linking academic learning outcomes with practical applications that serve the community.
The activity featured the participation of two students, Yusuf Shamil Ahmed and Faisal Amer Ahmed, from the Biomedical Engineering Department at the College of Electronic Engineering, University of Ninevah. They presented two scientific projects that simulate the mechanical and functional operation of the human heart, aiming to connect theoretical concepts of cardiac physiology with practical engineering applications.
The first project involved the design of a pulsating mechanical heart model that simulates the contraction and relaxation movements of the real heart, with the aim of explaining the mechanism of cardiac function in a simplified educational manner.
The second project focused on the design of a Ventricular Motion Simulator, which relies on the use of two pumps to represent the blood-pumping process in the right and left ventricles using a colored fluid. This model demonstrates the dynamics of blood circulation within the heart and illustrates the effect of heart rate on fluid movement.
The supervising faculty members praised the scientific and intellectual level of both projects, commending the students’ efforts in employing engineering knowledge to serve the medical field. They emphasized that such activities contribute to the development of students’ practical skills, encourage creativity and innovation, and support the University’s approach to advancing the educational process and scientific research.
This activity comes within the University of Ninevah’s broader orientation toward supporting student potential and encouraging scientific and innovative initiatives, in line with its vision to enhance education quality and strengthen scientific research.
