First Exhibition Design Day
On Monday, May 17, 2015, the University of Technology held, under the
care of its president Professor Dr. Ameen Daway Thamir, with cooperation
of International Research & Exchanges Board (IERX) its First Exhibition
Design Day. This event is one of the greatest events to raise the
academic skills & scientific levels, and to supply labor market with
qualified researchers, engineers, and professors. The opening ceremony
was attended by The University president and his assistants together
with the head of Mechanical Engineering Department Dr. Moayed Razooki.
Moreover, many staff members of the university and engineers attended
this event. Excellent students from the university participated in this
event where they showed their design projects. The representative of
IREX Dr. Laurie Mason was there as well. The opening ceremony started
with the speech of the president of the university where he announced
that this day is the start of the continuous cooperation with global &
scientific Institutions. He emphasized on developing education level to
bridge the massive gap between Iraq and the world, before 2003. He
clarified that IREX has a great success with the University of
Technology because of the university hard work professors and students.
The start of this kind of event was in 2007-2008 where five professors
participated at that time whereas; 65 professors in 2014-2015
participated in this event which is great evidence on the success of
learning path at university of technology. Representative of IREX was
pleased with the concentration on design courses and projects because
they are considered the language of the engineer, and to prepare
creative future engineers. Also, she encouraged the cooperation among
professors, students, and labor market to have a positive influence on
the future.
The exhibition started by exhibiting students designs from all the
University departments. Also, students of forth stage for Mechanical
Engineering departments participated as well where the designs were two
types; first graduating projects under professors' supervision. The
other type was designs from student’s own creation and their own ideas
with minor supervision from design professors.
All the attendant people were pleased and the participated designs were
evaluated by a committee from each department. The committee of
mechanical engineering department consisted of the head of the
department, general supervisor for educational guidance, and professors
of the design course. The mechanical engineering took the first rank
while the construction department was second. The chemical department
