A delegation from the Military Industries Company visited the Department of Production Engineering and Minerals at the University of Technology on Tuesday, 26/12/2017, as part of the mechanism of cooperation between the two parties.

The head of the department, Dr. Ali Abbar, received the members of the delegation in the presence of scientific assistants, Prof.Ass.Dr.Assil Hamad Abd and the administrative , Lec. Bahaa Sami Mahdi, Head of Mining and Extraction Engineering Department, Prof.Ass. Sami Ibrahim, Hussain.

The importance of the joint cooperation between the two sides in terms of exchange of experiences and also the contribution of the department in the military industries company in possible solutions through scientific consultations, as well as benefiting from the laboratories of the department of engineering production and minerals in the scientific research of the company. The head of the department appreciated the important role played by the Military Industries Company Especially in this situation, which requires mobilization of energies and efforts to support the army and security forces at all levels.

Nano-technology center in cooperation with energy technology and renewable energy and environmental research centers organized a symposium for scientific research and international conference participation.

The symposium includes two sessions and seven lectures concentrate on the outputs of a scientific research and the significant of scientific participation in the international conference and how to develop them in sober scientific researchThe symposium also includes the most important requirements for sober scientific publication and avoids plagiarism and also to learn how to deal with the impact factor Thomson-Reuters in various disciplines, and also includes the role of scientific research in raising the quality scale and classification of universities and how to find sources to fund the scientific research.

Within the activities of scientific and cultural activity for the first semester of the Department of Chemical Engineering for the academic year 2017-2018, the student of the Master Hadeel Attia Abdul Kadhim lecture entitled:

Enhancing Electro Coagulation in Removal Oil from Water Via Magnetic Nanoparticle

Enhanced electrostatic deposition to remove oil from water by magnetic nanoparticles

 Al Khwarizmi Hall in the presence of the Head of Chemical Engineering Department. Jamal Mouna Ali Al-Rubaie, scientific and administrative assistants, a number of branch heads, and a number of teachers and employees of the department and the university.

The field of environmental treatment provides nanoparticles with the ability to remove pollutants efficiently. The use of nanomaterials for iron oxide or magnetic nanoparticles has been of great interest due to its unique characteristics such as bio-compatibility, small size and high surface area. However, there is a small number of research that has focused on promoting electrophoresis by using simple nanoparticles that do not contain any modification or coating.

The study investigated the feasibility of adding magnetic nanoparticles to the electrophoresis process in the removal process. Magnetic nanoparticles were used for commercial magnetite and were examined using XRD and FT-IR. The average particle size was 50 nm.

Prof.Dr.Hanan Akar, a lecturer at Electricity Engineering Department, has headed an examiner committee in the Iraqi Commission for Computer and information – information institute for high studies to discuss the thesis of high studies' student (Shams Diyaa Kareem) titled "Design and Execute a Complete MOOCS System".

The researcher in this thesis examined the design and applying an electronic and educational system to serve the student by posting lectures on the site and using special smart phones strategies.   

         The Department of Communication Engineering at the University of Technology has organized the scientific symposium (Internet of things and communications) on the conference hall in the Control and Systems Engineering department.

The seminar included two sessions the first one including one lecture under the chairmanship of Prof. Dr. Hanan Abdul Rida Akkar from the Department of Electrical Engineering and its Coordinator Prof. Dr. Atheer Alaa Sabri, the lecture was delivered by Prof. Dr. Jamal Mohammed Rasool, who discussed the subject "Internet things and their applications''

The second session was chaired by Prof. Dr. Rashid Hameed Mutar from the Department of Electrical Engineering and its Coordinator, Assist.Prof. Zainab Nasser Jameel, from the Department of Communications Engineering, and included two lectures, the first was entitled (fiber optic networks of Internet things) delivered by Assist.Prof.Ali youssif fatah from the Department of Communications Engineering, the second lecture (collateral damage to wireless communication equipment for Internet objects and its impact on human health) was delivered byAssist. Dr. Rifaat Taleb Hussain from the Department of Communications Engineering.

Dr. Imad Hussain Marza Al Husseini, Head of Communication Engineering, said: "The aim of this symposium is to highlight the importance of the Internet in everyday life, both practical and scientific, as well as the role of the Internet in education of university

He pointed out that the transformation from human activity in its traditional form to electronic has become a necessary necessity that should be pursued by any modern institution that wants to keep abreast of the rapid and astonishing development, pointing to the importance of the information revolution and continuous progress in communication systems, the Internet, cloud computing and mobile communication technologies.

The symposium came out with the following important recommendations: the development of university education and administrative work through the optimal use of information and communication technology based on electronic universities and smart classrooms, and restrict the installation of towers for telephone stations near high density residential areas, schools, stadiums and hospitals

At the end, the head of the department distributed of appreciation certificates to the attendees and contributors who success the scientific symposium.
