Within the cultural season, Communication Engineering Department at the University of Technology held a discussion seminar on GPS on the hall of martyr Mohammed Fadel.

Lect.Dr.Bassem Saeed, present a lecture in which he explained the global system and its importance at the present time. The discussion session included many questions and discussions.

The seminar was attended by Head of the department Asst.Prof.Dr. Avaneen Anwar and number of faculty members and staff

Laser Science and Technology Branch in the Department of Applied Sciences at the University of Technology held a seminar on "E-learning and its application mechanisms in university education" at the hall of the passed-away Prof. Dr. Abdul Muttalib Ibrahim (Smart Hall) at the department in the attendance Head of the department and faculty members and staff who are interested in e-learning.

The seminar aimed at spreading E-learning concept in the department and preparing the faculty members to accept the idea of this concept as a helping learning besides the academic learning. The seminar also aimed at highlighting the applying of E-learning in the department and determining its constraints and trying to find their solutions. 

There were two lecturers in the seminar, the first lecture was presented by Asst.Prof.Dr.Haider Abdul-Rida from Laser Science Branch on the concept of E-learning with its main objectives, types, management systems and mechanisms of application, while the second lecture was given by Lect.Dr.Mohammed Abdul Sattar from the branch of laser science and technology, which dealt with the provision of E-learning using Google's class and applications.

   discussion and exchanging views on the subject of E-learning by the organizers of the seminar and participants were positive and effective in enriching the platform of the seminar and finding solutions and recommendations to develop the process of E-learning within the university education in the Department of Applied Sciences, the most impartment of them were:

Preparing the infrastructure and the communication system (Internet) and providing the various devices and equipment necessary for the application of e-learning.

Training faculty staff and students to manage the various electronic learning systems as well as training them to support the process of managing these systems and cooperation with the centers specialized in the management of electronic education at the University of Technology or other relevant institutions for the purpose of achieving this.

 Adopting the best international E-learning management systems for the purpose of applying them in the scientific branches of the department and in accordance with the environment and systems of university education in the Iraqi universities with regard to e-learning. Teaching support for university education and applying it in the scientific branches of the department will lead to raising performance evaluation standards for the department and its teaching staff in it.

University of Technology Rector Prof. Dr.Amin Douai appreciated Asst.Lect. Sabah Hassan from Department of Laser and Optical Electronics for his efforts in completing the research. Dr.Ameen said: Due to your efforts in completing the research according to the mechanism used in our university, we would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to you for further efforts to serve our University and our beloved Iraq.

Ali Naim Jassim from the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Technology received a master's degree for his research titled:

Evaluation of the collection of waste water and rain for the Rusafa area in Baghdad "

"Evaluation of Wastewaters and Storm Water Collection System in Al - Rusafa Area Baghdad City"

The researcher concluded that the hydraulic analysis of the eastern bank line and the Zeppelin line obtained from the 2016 scenario and the 2046 scenario that the design capacity of these two lines do not meet the maximum operating requirements. It was also found that the hydraulic gradient was very low, making the flow velocity less than the minimum recommended for self-cleaning speed and causing particle deposition and blocking of these two lines. Two lines of the Zeppelin extension line, which holds 81% of the sewage in the Zeppelin line for 2016 and 2046, and the Eastern Army Canal Channel scenario, which carries 47% of the sewage in the Zeppelin line. The scenario of the parallel line is 5 meters from the East Bank line which carries 25% of the wastewater in the East Bank line and the scenario of the western army channel which carries 29% of the sewage in the East Bank line.

The discussion committee consisted of:Prof. Alaa Hussein Wadi as President and Prof. Haidar Mohammed & Assis.Prof. Ghaida Yasin Rasheed Prof. Fares Hamoudi Mohamed Assis.Prof Shate Ahmed Fadel members
