The Department of Architecture at the University of Technology conducted the oral exam the first attempt for doctorate students who passed the course of courses within the academic year 2016/2017.

The exam was held in the main seminar hall in the department. The committee consisted Assist.Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Jawad Kazem, Assist.Prof.Dr.Sanaa Satea Abbas, Assist.Prof. Dr. Suzan AbdelHassan,Nahrain University, and Assist.Prof. Dr. Abdel-Hassan El-Askari, Center for Urban and Regional Planning University of Baghdad and Assist.Prof. Dr. Khansaa Ghazi Rashid and Assist. Prof. Dr Basim Hassan Hashim.

The head of the Department of Production and Metal Engineering, Assist.Prof. Dr Ahmed Ali Akbar, and the Director General of the General Military Industries Company, Assist.Prof. Dr Mazhar Sadeq Al-Tamimi, signed a cooperation protocol between the department and the company, through which he can open the fields of scientific cooperation through engineering consultations and training and development courses aimed at expanding and refining Practical skills with scientific and cognitive expertise.

Assist.Prof. Dr Ahmed Ali Akbar opened the meeting with a speech in which he stressed that this cooperation embodied the slogan of "productive university" adopted by the University of Technology to make the researches of professors and graduate students serve in achieving the objectives of the national industry. The university of technology and the department of production and metal engineering in its five branches opens all its human potential And laboratories to serve the national industry and works in a contribution, not participation to raise the quality and quality of industrial products and assesses training and educational courses to develop the performance of workers in the field of industry, indicating at the end of his saying that this close link imposed on universities N evolution in its structure, functions, programs and research about continuously to match with the changes occurring in the national industry, the more the university more as a fusion to its community has become more responsive to the demands of the industry.

Assist.Prof. Dr. Mazhar welcomed this important step and stressed the importance of the advancement of Iraqi industries in general and the war in particular. The specificity of the military industries is not only a manifestation of industrial and technical progress but also a vital pillar of national sovereignty as an important aspect of national sovereignty. There is a strategic plan to build a base of military industries in various fields in the country, pointing to stimulate the manufacturers and engineers through the conclusion of several deals with them to establish that rule.

The Lecturer Omar Farouk Lotfi from Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Technology published a scientific research in a global magazine with a coefficient of influence 0.865 and classified within the Thomson Reuters Corporation, the Arab Journal of Science and Engineering titled

((A direct reverse adaptive control system using artificial bee colonies with the best solution for controlling nonlinear systems))

          This research presents an adaptive direct reverse control system that uses a self-directed neural network as a front control and the proposed intelligent control method is used to control nonlinear dynamic systems and as an efficient teaching method the synthetic bee algorithm was used to find optimal values ​​for controlling coefficients  and in this work, a modified version of the synthetic bee algorithm, called the artificial bee colony, has been proposed with the best solution to teach the using dominant.

              Assist. Prof. Dr. Khalid Ajami Saker from the department of Chemical Engineering in the University of Technology participated in the work of the Arab Forum on ways to improve partnership with the industry that returning to the Arab States in Beirut/Lebanon which was held in Beirut under the auspices of the Arab League for the period 14-16 / 11/2017.

  Assist. Prof. Dr. Khalid presented a lecture entitled (Field Applications of Nanotechnology in theIndustry of Petroleum and its Impact on the Economy), and touched upon the fields and industrial application of nanomaterials in oil production and refining operations and the accompanying process.

Assist. Prof. Dr. Khaled Ajami mentioned that the forum included holding scientific seminars on ways to develop scientific research and partnership between Arab countries and work on the development of industrial production and investment of nanotechnology in production processes.
