Lecturers from Control and Systems Engineering Department Dr. Safana Mudher Raft participated in writing three chapters and Dr. Firas Abdul Razzaq in two chapters in the book published by Springer the Publishing house: (progress in mathematics to build sustainable ecosystems)
 
 The book focuses on the method that can be protected environment and enhance environmental sustainability when faced changes and pressures of our expanding needs. The book deals with the study of multiple areas within the theme of sustainability, and the empowerment of techniques and philosophy to be applied to the fields of research in environmental sciences, botany, energy, biodiversity and environmental conservation.
 The chapters cover many topics such as mathematical modeling tools used to monitor diversity of plant species, and the stability of ecosystem services.
 The book deals with the modeling of rainfall and floods, which gives a better idea of the impacts of climate change on the sustainability of water resources in watersheds. It has been studied a modeling approach that provides readers with acuity into the global problem of energy transformation, that is, the switch to an energy production system by using renewable sources only.

The lecturer Amjad Faleh Hassan from Control and Systems Engineering Department at the University of Technology participated in the International Scientific Conference that held at the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in cooperation with the International Journal of (IEEE)
 The researcher said that he participated in the conference tagged
 (Developing Semiautonomous System for Robust Performance of Centrifugal Pumping System)
 The lecturer confirmed in his research on the use of smart systems to develop and improve the flow rate of the centrifugal pump through the individual control of pump speed and amount of angle in the dominant valve and double control at the same time to obtain the best efficiency point.

The student, Anmar Hamad Kadhim, received a Master's degree with a very good degree from the Department of Building & Construction Engineering at the University of Technology for his thesis entitled "Scientific Research of Rounded Steel Tubular Columns and Filled with Concrete containing Recycled Concrete Ruins" in the symposium held at the High studies Hall's of the Department.
 The discussion committee was consisted of prof. Dr. Iqbal Naeem from the Department of Building Engineering at the University of Technology as Chairman of the Faculty of Engineering Dr. Hussein Khalaf of the Faculty of Engineering at Mustansiriya University and Dr.. Basman Riyadh members Dr.Amar Abbas and Dr. Wael Shawky supervisors, all from the Department of Building Engineering at the University of Technology.
 This paper presents a practical study of the behavior of circular tubular steel columns filled with concrete containing recycled rubble. For the purpose of increasing the homogeneity of the concrete mixture used and to avoid the isolation problems of the fill concrete, concrete was used for the iron pipe.
 The results showed that the use of high-resistance recycled concrete aggregates gives compressive strength to the columns higher than the usual concrete rubble. The use of steel collars as an external arm of the columns increases the compression resistance, but the process of welding the iron bands with the steel pipes and the required distances between the hoops is very difficult..

The college deans committee of Engineering Colleges in Iraq, in collaboration with the Department of Building and Construction Engineering and Architecture at the University of Technology and in coordination with the Ministry of Construction and Housing and the Ministry of Planning, organized a workshop entitled "Incorporating Iraqi Building Codes into the Curriculum" on Monday, March 13, 2017. Hassan Mohammed Hussein in the construction department.
 The workshop was opened with the reading of Surat Al-Fatihah on the souls of the martyrs of Iraq. The president of university Dr. Amin Douai Thamer demonstrated the effective role of the University of Technology in cooperation with all institutions and ministries to seek the service of Iraqi society, thanking the Department of Building Engineering to adopt such workshops, wishing successful for all.
 The deputy Minister of Construction and Housing Dr. Istbrak Ibrahim Al-Shawk showed in his speech that the ministry has made unique and fruitful efforts in managing the project to prepare, develop and improve the specifications, legislations and building codes of Iraq, and success in contracting with several working teams to prepare and check these codes. The ministry contracted to prepare 44 blogs and specifications. 28) Of which so far, has been printed thousands of copies and distributed free of charge to universities and related departments.
 Then the lecture, which started with the subject of (inclusion of civil engineering codes in the curriculum), was given to researchers. Wasan Ismail and Prof. Maan Salman from the Department of Construction and Construction and then delivered the second lecture on (embedding the codes of architecture in the curriculum) for researchers. Mekdad Haidar and L. Anwar Subhi from the Department of Architecture. After that, they listened to the discussions of the audience and their opinions, and discussed all the proposals with recommendations.
 At the end of the workshop, certificates of appreciation were delivered to participants and attendees.

The Department of Electromechanical Engineering at the University of Technology held a lecture on the technology of powders design Instructor by L. Maara Redha Abdul Hassan on Al - Kindi Hall in the Department.
 The Instructor described the method of powder technology as one of the methods of manufacturing products that cannot be manufactured by traditional methods, where the pressure of metal powders and their absorption with the possibility of controlling the design of the mechanical and physical properties by controlling the determinants of pressing and ablution by changing these determinants can change to obtain the required properties, In various fields such as thermal and electrical industries.
