The Center for Continuing Education at the University of Technology organized a course on statistics using the software packages ready for the period 15-19 / 10/2017 with the participation of trainees representing the Iraqi Drilling Company. The course aims to use statistical methods to conduct all statistical calculations and graphs.
 Its curriculum includes Excel, MATLAB, Spss, Minitab. The lectures were given by Dr. Abbas Khammas from the Materials Engineering Department at the University of Technology.

Hossain Ali Alwan Al-Qara Ghuli from the Materials Engineering Department at the University of Technology received a PhD with a very good degree from his thesis titled "Preparation and Characterization of High-Conductivity of Recycled Wire" on Tuesday, 31/10/2017.
 Graphene is a new two-dimensional carbon nanotube that has attracted a lot of attention because it possesses a wide range of unique physical and mechanical properties attributed to its atomic structure. Graphene has a gap and density of beams up to zero when coupling and parity clusters meet and have very low density near Dirac Point These properties attracted the attention of many scientists to study its atomic composition and use it in many important and critical applications.
 The results obtained from electrical and thermal conductivity tests showed an increase in the electrical and thermal conductivity values of the alloy wires. The alloy supported by (0.3% gravine and 0.15% zirconium) showed the highest values which led to an increase in the values of electrical and thermal conductivity (8.2% and 15.7%).
 The discussion committee consisted of Prof.Dr. Muhammed Jabr Juij from the University of Tall Afar as President. Prof.Dr. Najem Abdul-Amir Said from Babel University, Prof. Dr. Fadel Abbas Hashem, and Prof.Dr. Gawad Kazem Aliwi from the University of Technology and Dr. Abdul Rahim Kazem Abdul Ali from Babylon University. And Dr. Akram Rahim Jabr supervisors and assistant professor Dr. Mohsen Abbas Aswad from the University of Babylon scientifically and assistant professor Dr. Samir Ali Amin from the University of Technology linguistically.

Hossam Ahmed Abdul Hussain from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Technology received a PhD for his dissertation thesis (Estimation of the remaining life of the thermal furnace pipes manufactured from stainless steel in terms of damage caused by the phenomenon of crawling).
 The researcher focused on estimating the safe operating age based on the accumulation of damage caused by the crawling phenomenon, which was studied in detail in addition to simulating the crawling test model. The objective of this study is to avoid unexpected mechanical failures that can occur to the thermal furnace pipes operating in the oil filtration sector, thus causing human and material losses. Some of these furnaces operate at high temperatures and for long periods of time beyond design life.
 The discussion committee consisted of Prof. Nabil Kazem Abdul-Saheb from Nahrain University as President of the University of Baghdad, and Dr. Fathi Abdul-Saheb Abdul-Hussein of the University of Baghdad, Faculty of Engineering, Dr. Hussein Jassim Mohammed and Mohsen Nuri Hamza. Dr. Qassem Abbas Attia, WAM members, Ahmed Nayef Ibrahim, and Dr. Samir Ali Amin, supervisors from the University of Technology.

Nada Abdul-Moin Hassan, from the Department of Architecture at the University of Technology, received her PhD degree with distinction from her thesis titled "Adaptation of Infrastructure in Urban Centers - Open Spaces".
 The researcher concluded that cities and infrastructure have always emerged in a coherent and participatory manner as cities and their different functions lead to the emergence or development of infrastructure and transformational power. The general axis of research is defined in the role and relationship of infrastructure in city development and sustainability through its multidimensional benefits and changing relationships with other urban systems Where they are treated as the basic elements of the development of urban dimensions.
 The discussion committee consisted of: Prof. Dr. Jabbar Al-Khafaji, Chairman and Prof. Dr. Sana Shatea Abbas, AD Shaima Hamid Hassan, AD Dr. Abbas Ali Hamza, and Dr. Rua Fawzi Naoum, members and Dr. Shaker Mahmoud and Dr. Karim Hassan Alwan supervisors.

Electro-mechanical engineering department at the university of technology grant MSC to post graduate student Najat Essa for her thesis (Scientific Study to Improve Power Efficiency in Steam Boilers with an Innovative Control System to Avoid Deposits within the Pipes).
 The study deals with the design and implementation of a mechanism to improve the efficiency of energy production in steam boilers through the use of an electronic control system to control the deposition of calcareous salts formed inside boiler water during the process of producing steam and the system of recovery of thermal energy lost from the water during the process of surface discharge to get rid of sediments formed In the water of the boiler, this technique is applied for the first time in Iraq through the contract between high studies department and the South Refinery Company / Basrah, which has the benefits of the research. The practical results of the effectiveness of the innovative control system to improve the efficiency of steam boiler and control of sediments by improving the discharge of boiler water and reducing the indirect losses as the amount of water was reduced from (2244.897) kg / h to (1111.111) kg / hour when installing the automatic control circuit which saved 27210.864 kg/h that may save about 158450201.2 D/Y from the cost of producing discharge water and 83.16% of the lost thermal energy with discharge water which can be recovered using the heat recovery unit which provides 103411.8 micajol / day which will save 482.46 T/Y of the mass of spent fuel.
 It has approved that the auto-control system is the perfect solution to save energy and from solar energy and it contributes to the maintenance of sewage pipes from damage caused by the heat of discharge water by cooling the water before putting it into the sewer system.
 The discussion committee chaired by Asst.Prof.Dr. Shaker Dawood/ Dijlah collage university and the membrane of Asst.Prof.Dr.Asawir Kwiri from Oil Engineering Department-UOT, lect.Dr.Eman Kareem and Asst.Prof.Dr. Raheeq Ibrahim from Electro-mechanical Engineering Department-UOT and Asst.Prof.Dr. Abdul-Raheem Hamood from Electrical Engineering Department.
