The Rehabilitation, Employment, and Follow-up Unit at the Deanship of the College of Engineering held a scientific seminar on Tuesday, 3/2/2026, titled “Human Body Engineering: How Mineral Elements Affect Heart and Muscle Functions.” The seminar took place in the Humanities Building – Hall (405), with the participation of students from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, in alignment with the Third Sustainable Development Goal (Good Health and Well-being).
The seminar highlighted the importance of essential mineral elements in the human body and their role in regulating the electrical activity of the heart and muscles. It focused on the physiological effects of mineral deficiencies or excesses on muscular performance and heart health. The seminar also discussed the scientific mechanisms related to maintaining mineral balance in the body and its impact on the efficiency of vital systems, in addition to presenting practical and preventive applications that contribute to improving heart and muscle functions and promoting public health.
This seminar was organized as part of the College of Engineering’s efforts to support students’ scientific and practical knowledge and to connect engineering disciplines with medical and biological fields. Such initiatives contribute to preparing qualified scientific cadres capable of keeping pace with modern developments in Biomedical Engineering and meeting labor market requirements.
The seminar was attended by a number of faculty members and students from the Department of Biomedical Engineering. It was prepared and delivered by Ms. Hala Muhannad Ismail Haqi, Lecturer Enas Haider Amin, and Assistant Lecturer Abdullah Qais Hashim.
