The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Technology held a workshop on "problem-based learning"
 (Problem based learning- pbl-) at the late Dr. Jawamir Selim Hall, attended by a group of lecturers of the department, Dr. Ahmed Nayef Al-Khazraji, AD Dr. Nabras Mohammed
 The method of pbl is relatively modern (more than 30 years) began in applications in the medical field at a Canadian university in 1977 and then began to spread in various disciplines. Its applications in engineering fields were applied at the University of Manchester in 2001 and later applied at the University of Missouri, which has a cultural and scientific relationship with our university.
 The method is to transform the traditional curriculum currently used by students from different subjects to a range of engineering and scientific problems that are related to the curriculum and serve the social reality according to the type of scientific material.
 As for the mechanism of implementation according to this method, the class is divided into groups of students each group containing (4-6) students, and each problem given to students should be solved from (1-2) a week, two or three hours per week after the problem scenario is given by Article tutor.
 The student groups begin to develop a curriculum and a scientific context to solve the problem and each group has the right to ask some questions to the teacher to facilitate the solution. The role of the material teacher is general guidance and training. The student has the greatest burden in self-learning and in the spirit of teamwork with his group, which was established from the beginning of the course and has the right to search through the internet or the different libraries of the world. Once the problem is resolved, a sample report will be written by the instructor.

The Lecturer Moqdad Abdul Wahab Al Khatib, Head of the Sustainable Development Department at the Environmental Research Center at the University of Technology has been awarded three certificates of appreciation for the gradual completion of the MOOC course, the open and open course of the course;
 The eight units of the course and the participants' assessments are supervised by a specialized scientific team from the Stockholm Resilience Center and chaired by Prof. Johan Rockstrom, Director of the Center.
 The three stages of certification represent the progress of the trainee in obtaining the highest scores in the tests starting from obtaining 50% (Sustainable Citizen) through the rate of 70% (Planetary Steward) and ending with the third certificate (the last) after obtaining more than 90% Champion of the Biosphere).

The Department of Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Technology held seminars for postgraduate students in the discussion room in the department in the presence of the assistant head of the department for scientific affairs and postgraduate studies Assist. Prof. dr. Amjad Jalil Hamidi , Assistant Head of Department for Administrative Affairs. Assist. Prof. dr.Mohammed Yousif Hassan, the heads of the branches and a number of professors of the department and a number of graduate students in the department and the students who directed their research are Bakr Ali Ibrahim in his research on the design of a system aware of the automatic mechanization of the mines and Zainab Khdair Abbas on the design of a system for the identification and follow-up people with analysis of the behavior and Mariam Laith Abdul Majid for finding the optimal paths in computer networks and the division of their performance and Ahmed Idris for an analytical study in the techniques of bottlenecks in Internet networks and the effects of Jaafar for positioning using the Wi-Fi signal with the application on the mobile robot.

The Center for Continuous Education at the University of Technology has organized a course on chemical safety in chemical laboratories and stores for the period 21-25 / 5/2017 with the participation of trainees representing the Oil Pipeline Company and the General Company for Fertilizers.
 The aim of the course is to raise the level of awareness and performance of laboratory and warehouse workers who are in contact with various types of chemicals and their uses.
 Its curriculum includes classification of chemicals according to known global classifications, chemical procurement, transportation, storage and inventory of chemicals.
 Lectures were delivered at the session by dr. Azhar Mahmoud from the Environmental Research Center.

Dr. Imad Hussain Marza Al-Husseini, Head of Communications Engineering Department at the University of Technology, was elected as Chairman of the Editorial Board of the Iraqi Journal of Computer Engineering, Communications and Control.
 The editorial board of the journal was joined by Prof.Dr. Mohamed Zaki Hussein (Nahrain University / Faculty of Information Engineering), Prof. Dr. Jaber Salman Aziz (Nahrain University / Faculty of Engineering) and Prof.Dr. Glyn Jalil Esteifian (University of Information and Communication Technology) And Prof. Jawad Kazim Ali (University of Technology / Electrical Engineering), Prof. Dr. Ali Yousif Fattah (University of Technology / Communications Engineering), and Assist. Prof. Dr. Safana Mudhour (University of Technology / Engineering Control Systems), Assist. Prof. .Dr. Shibli Ahmed Hameed (University of Technology / Engineering Systems Control).
 The new committee discussed in its meeting (which was held in the department) a table of inviting the competent authorities to set up a website for the magazine, financial and administrative affairs, and researches submitted for evaluation and publication in accordance with the standards for the scientific journals issued by the ministry and according to the precise specialization of the magazine to select residents with competence and strict specialization and contexts. The electronic follow-up to the completion of the requirements of the work as well as working to raise the level of the magazine to specialized magazines and specialized in proportion to the reputation of the University of Technology as one of the journals issued by this prestigious university.
