the president of University of Technology Prof.Dr.Ameed Daowi chaired the session of Secretary of the Department of Computer Science on Thursday, 16-5-2018.The university president reviewed the achievements of the university during the past five years, as well as he emphasis on encouraging the establishment of scientific symposia because of their great role in evaluating the department, and thus in the interest of the university and its reputation. Also he discussed the publication of research in international journals and their positive impact on the improvement of the university's classification at various levels.

The university president emphasized the next acceptance plan for direct applications and the role of the media to attract and encourage students in the process of applying to the scientific and engineering departments in this process, as well as spreading and maintaining the reputation of departments in all aspects. The head of Computer Science Department Assc.Prof.Dr.Hala Bahjat reviewed plans for the department during the next academic year, and the agreement to establish an international conference of the department. She gave a presentation on the achievements made by the department from the introduction of the extension program in the management system and the development of the computer lab.

The President of the University of Technology, Prof. Dr. Amin Douai, honors the MSC students in the Electricity Engineering Department, Zeinab Mohammed, Sara Abdel Moneim, Amir Abbas and Ashraf Yousif, in appreciation for completing the requirements of obtaining the Master's degree before the end of the period based on the instructions of the University's council .In the same context, the university president honors and appreciates their supervisors and they are Assc.Prof.Dr.Abbas Hassan, Assc.Prof.Dr.Ali Abbas , Assc.Prof.Dr.Avanen Anwar, Lect.Dr.Raad Thoaban,Lect.Dr.Sonsud Damad, Lect.Dr.Anaam Ibrahim and Dr.Mohammed Ahmed.

Assc.Prof.Dr.Mahmood Salih, the Head of Water and Hydraulics Engineering Department at the Department of Building and Construction Engineering at the University of Technology, and Engineer Zahra Abdel-Hussein from the Ministry of Water Resources, participated in the International Conference of the European Organization for Environmental, Water and Desert Research, held in Turkey for 7-9 / 5/2018 with their research (A 2D HYDRODYNAMIC / POLLUTANT TRANSPORT AND GIS-BASED APPROACH FOR OPTICAL WATER QUALITY MONITORING STATIONS).

The research included the application of a methodology to find the sites of water quality stations in the eastern part of Hammar Hor in a mathematical way. This methodology is based on the results of the application of two-dimensional simulation models for modeling water movement, spread of pollutants, standards, determinants, land cover maps and land uses. The results of the models were analyzed using spatial analysis tools in geographic information systems to identify the most sensitive sites for water quality change and prioritize them based on their degree of susceptibility to variability in water quality.

Minerals and Production Engineering Department at the University of Technology hold a scientific symposium for its post graduate students in the presence of the head of department Assc.Prof.Dr.Ali Abaar and number of lecturers.

The symposium was chaired by the scientific deputy of the department Assc.Prof.Dr.Aseel Hamad in which many Students were discussed about their completed research and a number of valuable interventions by the attendees was made, which added usefulness to evaluating the course of some researches by presenting the precise scientific foundations for important aspects of their research.  

Electricity engineering department grants MSC to the student Mohammed Khamees for his thesis "----------------".

In his thesis, the researcher proposed the design of three antennas with indirect feeding to operate in different applications for wireless communication. The first antenna was designed as a square and was rotated at 45, angle, where it was found that reducing the antenna base length plays a major role in finding the location of the frequency of work and bandwidth. The second model was designed as a hexagonal ring and was fed indirectly by two Y-shaped arms connected to the feeding line and the angle between them is equal to 120.

The third proposed V-shaped antenna was also indirectly fed by two Y-shaped arms connected to the feeding line and an angle of 55 الذي that had a rectangular middle piece to control the center of the upper beam. All student-designed antennas have been manufactured, tested and standardized by the Electronic Manufacturing Center of the Industrial Research and Development Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The discussion committee was chaired by Prof.Dr.Raad Hamdan, Assc.Prof.Dr. Thameer Rasshed and Assc.Prof.Dr.Jamal Mohamed as members and Lect.Dr.Ali Jabar as a supervisor.
