A lecturer from Laser and Optoelectronics Engineering Department at the University of Technology, assist.Prof. Dr. Ayad Z. Mohammed the Head of the Department published a scientific research entitled "Study Optical and Structure Properties of Nano ZnO/Cu₂O Mixture Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition for Application" in (Defect and Diffusion Forum) magazine, that index within SCOPS with high impact factors.  

The research dealt with studying the optical and synthesis properties of zinc oxide mixture with copper oxide nanoparticles prepared by the precipitated pulsed laser technology and certain cards and study their effect and applications, thus allowing for laser applications in the fields of nanomaterial's.

President of the University of Technology, Prof. Dr. Imad H. Marzah Al-Husseini congratulated the Iraq journal of Architecture and Planning issued by the University of Technology / Department of Architecture in 2019, on obtaining second rank in the Arab world in the field of engineering and information technology.

The Arabic impact factor of (IQJAP) in 2019 was (0.129) and (IQJAP)  got the second rank in the specialization (Engineering Sciences and Information Technology) at the Arab level, while the average of ARCIF for this specialization was (0.060) thus the magazine has been classified under the category / First Quarter (Q1) First Quantile, Al-Husseini added.

The “Arcif” has been working on collecting, studying and analyzing the data of more than (4300) titles of an Arabic scientific or research journal in various disciplines issued by more than 1400 scientific or research commission in 20 Arab countries (except Djibouti and Comoros). 499 scientific journals succeeded to be accredited to the global standards of the Arcif in the 2019 report, Al-Husseini said.

Knowing that, The (ARCIF) is under the supervision of “the Council of Supervision and Coordination”, which consists of representatives of several Arab and international comission, including the UNESCO Regional Office for Education in the Arab States in Beirut, the United Nations Commission for West Asia (ESCWA) and the Library of Alexandria. The Maarefa Data Base, the International Specialized Libraries Association / Gulf Branch, as well as a scientific committee of experts and academics with a brilliant scientific reputation from several Arab countries and Britain.

Within the activities of the scientific and cultural activity of the first semester of the Department of Chemical Engineering for the academic year 2019-2020, the Department of Chemical Engineering, in cooperation with the Office of Scientific Assistant (Division of Control of Hazardous and Toxic Chemicals and Biological Control), held a second training workshop on the management and inventory of chemical substances for the purpose of following up the application and introduction of chemicals. In the stores belonging to scientific departments and research centers on the hall of Dar  Salaam.

 The workshop was attended by the head of the department. Dr. Khaled Ajmi Sukkar and Scientific Associate Adnan Abdul-Jabbar and Chairman of the Committee on the circulation of chemicals in the prof. Manal Afham and a number of members of the department and the university.

The lecture was given by a senior engineer. Evelyn Ayoub Daoud, where the workshop included two axes first classification of chemicals and identify the seriousness and a general explanation on the program of the system and the second axis a practical application on the use of the program, has participated in this session secretaries of chemical stores in the departments and centers of the university.

Production Engineering and Metallurgy Department grants MSc to the student (Hiba S. Qasim) about her thesis that entitled "The study of the impact of various electrolytic solutions on surface roughness and rate of metal removal in electrochemical operation"

The abstract included electrochemical operation, called a type of non-classical operation, which uses chemical reaction with the help of electric current to remove the metal.

The committee was:-

1- Assist. Prof. Dr. Saad K. Shather from UOT (the head)

2- Assist.Prof. Dr. Wathiq I. Mahdi from Karbala University (Member)

3- Dr. Samar S. Hussein UOT (Member)

4- Assist.Prof. Dr Suha K. Shihab University of Diyala (scientific advisor)

5- Prof. Samir A. Amin (linguistic advisor)

A Research team at the University of Technology gained a patent from the Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control in the Ministry of Planning for ((design and manufacture of low-cost system to reduce the viscosity of Iraqi crude oil and improve the flow of pipelines))

The patent contained reducing the viscosity of Iraqi crude oil by shedding an electric field of a certain intensity through the design and manufacture of low-cost electrical capacitors placed inside the pipe used to shed the field on crude oil, which formed the insulation material between the electrodes of the electrolytic capacitance and composed of a perforated and coated metal plate The number and diameter of the holes are designed to allow the oil to be arranged in short chains so that the flow and friction resistance between the fluid layers and the pipe walls are reduced and so that the viscosity is reduced also. Optimal conditions were found which were 32 seconds operating time, 188 volts and 6.11 cm for distance between the capacitance electrodes, the viscosity reduction was more than 40% at 12 ° C that lasted for 11 hours.

The research team contains a teaching staff of Electromechanical Engineering Department and they were:-

1- Assist.Prof. Dr. Rahik I. Ibrahim.

2- Prof. Dr. Manal K. Ouda.

3- Lec. Aus F. Hassan.
