The Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology held a meeting for faculty members in the department on Tuesday, 21/11/2017, on the hall of the department council.The meeting discussed the project of the independence of the University of Technology and a detailed explanation of its scientific and administrative aspects.Asst.Prof.Dr. Ahmed al-Ghabban ,Head of Materials Department, indicates the possibility of teachers acquaintance on all the provisions of the ministerial order issued in this regard and answering  all queries related to this issue, and it was agreed to hold additional meetings for consultation purpose.During the meeting, they discussed some important issues related to admission of students for this year and the burdens of the first semester of the academic year and giving some instructions regarding the morning and evening studies. 

The Department of Electromechanical Engineering at the University of Technology held on Sunday, 26/11/2017, a course on writing the introduction letter, preparing the curriculum vitae and conducting job interviews for graduate students with the participation of 60 graduate students.the course was presented by Lect.Dr.Mohammed Jiwad.During the course, the graduates were made aware of the importance of writing an introduction letter for the purpose of obtaining a job and training them on how to prepare curriculum vitae and to know some of the things that should be set up in job interviews.The course focused on the importance of the required competencies in the labor market and the private sector and the development of their skills through participation in those courses conducted by the graduate follow-up unit.  

The Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Technology grants PHD to its student Mohammed Fadhel Hassan for his thesis (Design aspects of the multi-frequency multiplexing frequency filter for modern communication systems) on Dijlah hall in the department.In this work, the researcher presented several aspects of the design of a multi-beam transmission filter used in wireless communication applications. The research methodology in the design of the proposed filters is the gradual step-by-step design, which means adopting the first design step followed by the second for a multi-beam transponder. The advantage of this method lies in the freedom of design in terms of control of each ring packet separately.Prof.Dr. Raad Sami headed the discussion commission, with the membrane of Asst. Prof.Dr. Thamer Rasheed,Asst.Prof.Dr. Hadi Taresh,Asst.Prof.Dr.Adeed Hassan and Asst.Prof.dr.Jamal Rasool, and supervised by Asst.Prof.Dr.Ali Sadiq and Asst.Prof.Dr.Emad Shihab.  

The Department of Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Technology held seminars for scholarships' students in the Graduate Hall at the presence of Asst.Prof.Dr. Hamed Mousa Hassan, deputy for Scientific Affairs and Asst.Prof Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim Abdul Karim the deputy Administrative Affairs. Asst.Prof.Dr. Safana Modhar Raafat Head of Medical Engineering Branch, Asst.Prof.Dr. Mohammed Yousuf Hassan,Asst.Prof.Dr.Salah Kazem Hamza and a group of lecturers and graduate students in the department.The researches of graduate students were reviewed and some notes were received by the lecturers. The seminars were held by Asst.Prof.Dr. Salim Khalifa Kadhim for his thesis:(Numerical and experimental investigation of the effect of induced vibrations on the mechanical heart valve).His research involved the use of bifurcated mechanical heart valves (BMHV) on a large scale to replace the original diseased heart valves. However, BMHV may fail for certain reasons such as plaque buildup and blood cell damage, leading to heart valve failure. Unknown causes of BMHV failure.Lect.Dr. Qusay Fadel Hassan presents a lecture on his thesis (Design of intelligent power controllers for intermittent communication systems)In this paper, a review was made of how energy is distributed in intermittent systems for the purpose of constructing a mathematical model capable of accurately representing energy consumption in all system segments. The benefit of this model is to build a strategy to control energy consumption in intermittent systems based on the frequency used in these systems as a control tool; to demonstrate the ability of the new model to represent the energy of intermittent systems, and built simulator under the MATLAB environment to work three intermittent systems (OT gate, MUX Circuit, and FA Circuit (The results of this simulator were compared with the results of the original circuits built under the OrCAD Cadence environment. The comparison process demonstrated the ability of the new model to give accurate readings of the energy consumption in the linear systems under different sizes and conditions
