Under the patronage of the Iraqi Council of Representatives and the Ministry of Oil under the slogan "Iraqi geologists are the cornerstone of the national economy," the head of the Department of Oil Technology at the University of Technology, Dr. Mohammed Saleh Al-Jawad, participated in the 16th Iraqi Geologists Conference held by the Iraqi Geologists Union at the Cultural Cultural Center for 26-27 / 4/2017.
 The topics of the conference were: oil geology, mining, pollution, environmental geology, renewable energy and climate change, economic and chemical geology, water resources, geophysics, remote sensing, geological engineering as well as geological applications.

The Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology organized a scientific visit to the students of the third and fourth stage / the branch of engineering of polymeric and petrochemical materials to the Ministry of Industry and Minerals / National Company for Chemical and Plastic Industries on 17/4/2017.supervised by Assist. Prof. Dr.. Sihamah Issa Saleh and Lect. Ammar Mousa Hassan.
 The visit included an interview with the Company's Managing Director. Engineer Hadi Murad and a short lecture was delivered by Engineer Bahar Gamal Hussein discussed the nature of the work of the factories of the company and prepare them, then the students made an exploratory tour to the factories associated with the company and visit the sponge factory and the resin manufacturing plant and give a brief about how the factory worked by Dr. Rafid plant manager and Balaya factory and plastic production plant and give a profile A brief description of how the factory works by Engineer Nasr Abdul Majeed, the nylon bag factory and the tissue paper factory.
 Then, a second lecture was given by the director of the company. Engineer Hadi Murad included an introductory profile on the nature of the engineer's work in the production plants and his role in managing and following up the work of the factory and its employees.

A lecturer the Center for Environmental Research at the University of Technology Lect. Mekdad Abdel Wahab Al Khatib, Head of Sustainable Development, has participated in the meeting of experts on the promotion of green technology through the interaction between science and policy, The invitation side was by the United Nations - ESCWA.
 The meeting included six sessions that discussed ways to integrate green growth in the development policies of countries and the need to activate the objectives of sustainable development and integrate them into the curricula of education and educate the community in general importance.

The Department of Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Technology held seminars on the discussion room in the department within the weekly activity of the department. The first lecture was given by Dr. Lama Issa on her research titled: Neural mechanism of visual perception using the on-site representation and event.
 In the research, the study showed that the brain analyzes kinetic information through a hierarchical structure composed of several visual images which interact in two-way communication. Visual information is analyzed from the lower towards the upper areas of the brain. Based on that a visual model was proposed to detect movement and integration according to human biology. The frontal feeding reactions and reactions were included. In the proposed model, two main characteristics were considered In the regions of the brain (selective direction) and (selectivity of speed), this model highlights how visual cortical regions interact with each other based on the different representations involved, the sensor is exploited by the neural vision (silicon retina) By an event sensor that is sensitive to time changes in luminance, the sensor simulates the neural vision of the shape and function of generating optical signals for the biological retina that differs from a frame-based sensor that generates integrated luminance functions.
 The second lecture was taught by Dr. Yamamah Abdel Fattah for her research titled: Implementation of foggy logic in control systems.
 The course discussed the definition of logic and its applications, especially in the field of control. The stages of design of the types of control of the foggy logic similar to the proportional differential control were described through the laws of the fuzzy controls and the functions of the membership in terms of number, location, .
 The stability of the system and review of the most important software tools available to the dominant design and methods of implementation were evaluated.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Technology (the first scientific exhibition for the projects of undergraduate students ) was held in the hall of Dr. Munir Al-Muzaffar in the department. The preparatory committee of the exhibition was formed by Prof.Dr.Qasim Abbas Attia, scientific assistant of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Hussein and Assist. Lecturer Ali Hussein Alwan,
 The head of the mechanical engineering department, Dr. Muayad Razouki Hassan, stressed the importance of the projects of the students of preliminary studies and their role in supplying the major projects through their enlightening ideas and their awareness in finding solutions to the problems surrounding the society.
 The exhibition aims at introducing the projects of the students of preliminary studies in the department and enriching them scientifically through the scientific discussion between the specialized professors and the students of the projects
 . The exhibition included a number of lectures at the session chaired by Prof.Dr. wafa Abdel-Saud and Assist. Lecturer Rasha Mohammed Hussein. The lectures included a brief history of design in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, (Mohamed Ali Mazin, Nour Sabah, Nouri, Karrar Abdel Kadhim) under the title "Obstacles to the application of soil water retention technique to the subsoil of the soil Sandy).
