The Faculty of Technology at the University of Technology participated in the Third Scientific Conference on Environment and Sustainable Development at the University for its research (quarterly changes of residual aluminum concentrations in drinking water).

The study included (6) water purification projects in Baghdad through the concentration of aluminum, which is used in vehicles for purification purposes. Among the results were different relations related to increasing the concentration related to ph and high temperatures, and the emphasis was on aluminum because of its effects Health affects the nervous system which causes Alzheimer's or Parkinson's paralysis in case it exceeds the upper limits within the body.

She received a certificate of appreciation for her efforts and outstanding contribution to the conference.

The representative of the religious authority in Kadhimiya ( Masgad Al-Yasin) honored the outstanding students in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Technology for the academic year 2016-2017 with gifts and certificates in the presence of the  Deputy of administrative  affairs . Asst.Lec. Kanaan Ali Jalal as representative of the department.

This came during the 12th Annual Mind Festival to honor outstanding students who were held in the holy city of Kadhimiya.

The honors included the students of the outstanding class: Shatha Hani Jassim Mohammed and Mohammed Osama Subhi Jabbar of the first stage and Ahmed Mohammed Abdul Wahid Abdul-Saheb and Hussein Jabbar Ali Mohammed from the second stage and Ahmed Abdul Karim Farhan and Ali Abdul Nabi of the third stage and Hussein Jabbar Abdul-Huraj and Omar Khudair Abdul Zeid of the stage Fourth.

The Ministry of Planning / Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control granted a patent

Lecturer of materials engineering department at the University of Technology,  Asst .Prof. Dr Sihamah Issa Saleh Al-Shalaji and Asst Asst .Prof. Dr Fadel Abbas Hashim and Babil University, Faculty of Materials Engineering, Asst .Prof. Dr Awda Jabbar Barihi Al-Masoudi, for the production of super-absorbent nano-polymer nanoparticles from the harmful Nile seed herb and its use in the chemical, anti-desertification and rheumatism families.

The patent included the exploitation of the high absorbency status of the harmful Nile flower plant to be used in the manufacture of super absorbent polymers. For the treatment of rheumatism patients for a longer period, and for rationalizing irrigation water and combating desertification. The cellulose was extracted from the harmful Nile flower herb and then transformed into a soluble derivative, sodium carbonoxide methyl cellulose using appropriate physiochemical and chemical treatments.

   The behavior of the bulge was studied with different saline solutions of different concentrations and solutions of different acid grades. The absorption of these compounds showed significant effect on the pH and a clear decrease in the concentration of saline solution. The addition of nanoparticles increased the uptake of the prepared polymer mixture by 20% and proved that it can be used in applications of concrete, For patients with rheumatism for long periods of heat, and combating desertification because of its high ability to rationalize water irrigation.

The Head of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology, Dr. Ahamad Mohammed Hassan Al-Ghuban, received postgraduate students from the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Baghdad in the presence of a number of the department's instructors to learn about the latest scientific developments.

Postgraduate students praised the role of materials engineering in the field of dentistry through lectures and the use of the laboratories of the department in the research side.
