 Scientific research titled:
 Comparative study to use nano- (Al2O3, CuO, and SiC) with water to enhance photovoltaic thermal PV / T collectors
 A comparative study of the use of nano (Al2O3, CuO, and SiC) with water to promote photovoltaic cell complexes (PV / T)
 In Energy Conversion and Management It is one of the magazines of Al-Safir International and has a Thomson Reuters effect factor for 2016 = 5.589
 The researcher concluded that the low efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) units due to the increase in cell temperature occurs when a small part of the absorbed solar radiation is converted into electricity and the remaining part is lost as heat.
 A range of fluid nanomaterials have been added to increase the thermal conductivity of these fluids, which are used to cool PV cells, which have become the subject of much research.
 In this study, three nanomaterials were added to the water as a base fluid with multiple volume ratios to determine the best type and concentration of nanoparticles suitable for this application.

Under the slogan (with the blood of Hussein we win), The University of Technology held the fifth annual Al- Taf Festival in the presence of the President of the University of Technology Dr. Amin Douai Thamer and the Administrative Assistant, Prof. Sami Abu Al-Nun Ajil and the scientific Assistant, Prof. Dr. Alaa Abdul-Hassan Attieh and a number of Sheokh representatives of the holy shrines, scientific Hawza, heads of scientific and engineering departments, employees of the university and its students.
 The President of the University delivered a speech in which he spoke about the revolution of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) and its greatness, which tells about his historical personality and biography and the story of his martyrdom, which gives us a moral boost to follow his approach and follow him.
 He pointed out that the University has always hold this annual festival in honor of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), who gave the Islamic nation a great model that challenges all countries of the world.
 His Eminence Mr. Adnan al-Moussawi, representative of Al attaba Al- Abbasia, said during a lecture at the festival:
 The Taf Festival, held annually by the University of Technology, is a wonderful step to introduce our young men and women to the renaissance of Imam Hussein(( peace be upon him)) remembering his martyrdom
 The festival also included a student Husseini march, which was organized by the students of the University of Technology, which ended with the raising of the flag of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) within the University of Technology
 The festival also witnessed the delivery of religious poems and poems following the Al-Tuf incident.

Within the framework of the scientific and cultural activities held by the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology for the new academic year 2017-2018, the department head in collaboration with the US Embassy organized a workshop entitled "Workshop on IYLEP" on Tuesday 24/10/2017 at Dar Salaam Hall Head of Chemical Engineering Department, Dr. Jamal Manea Ali Al-Rubaie, Director of Rehabilitation and Employment Division Ammar al-Husseini and a number of professors and students of the second and third phase in the department.The US Embassy in Baghdad offers a new cultural exchange program for young Iraqi leaders that provides an opportunity for outstanding students who have demonstrated leadership skills. The workshops seek to broaden their knowledge of civic engagement and intercultural communication.
 The IYLEP program contributes to the exchange of young Iraqi leaders for undergraduate students for four weeks and provides an opportunity for university students in Iraq to develop concrete skills in the 21st century, expand their leadership abilities, build a new understanding of civic engagement and diversity, around the world.

President of the University of Technology Prof. Dr. Amin Douai Thamer thanked the lecturer staff of the Materials Engineering Department. Dr. Alaa Hassan Ali and Prof. Rana Afif Majeed, in appreciation of their outstanding efforts in supervising the doctoral thesis of the student Ahmed Rajeh Hassan, who completed the requirements of the study before the period specified for him.
 In the same context, the university president granted a certificate acknowledgment for to the student who completed the requirements of the study before the end of the specified period.

The international publishing house ELSEVIER awarded an international certificate to Asst.Prof Dr. Ibtisam Rahima Krikhi, head of the Optical Communication Systems Engineering at the Department of Communication Engineering-UOT for evaluating much scientific research.
Dr.Ibtisam said that the international certificate awarded to her after evaluating five researches in 2016 for computer networks journal published by ELSVIER which includes Thomson Router journals with high impact factor.
