Mr. Thamer mentioned what the leadership is, the most important qualities that a woman leader should have, and the most important leadership and successful personalities over time, while Ms. Hanan narrated her success story and the difficulties she went through and is still going through.

The Polymeric and Petrochemical Materials Engineering branch in the Materials Engineering Department, headed by Ms. Lec. Dr. Manar A. Najim, in the presence of Lec. Prof. Dr. Alaa A. Mohamed and Lec. Dr. Sura S. Ahmed, went with the third-stage students on a scientific visit on Wednesday, 3/5/2023, to the Nature Paints Factory for the production of dyes Ltd., where they learned about the methods of producing fatty, water-based, and rust-resistant dyes. A modern technology was also seen in the production of dyes in the form of powders, which are sprayed electrically on the surface to be painted with, and then treated thermally to become dyes with strong adhesion and resistance to scratching. Also, modern automated machines (robots) used in the production of plastic cans used to fill dyes of various sizes were seen.

The tenth cultural season was Begin in the Department of Materials Engineering on Sunday, 7/5/2023, where the opening of the Fine Arts Exhibition and the AutoCAD Exhibition for Students took place in the courtyard of Building B at 9:30 am, in the presence of the President of the University, Prof. Respected Ahmed Mohamed Hassan Al-Ghabban, and Head of the Department of Materials Engineering, The respected Prof. Dr. Hussein Alaa Jaber and the scientific assistant, The respected Prof. Dr. Jawad Kazem Aliwi, and the administrative assistant, The respected Prof. Dr.  Laith Waddah Ismail, and the students’ work was watched and praised.

On 4/15/2023, Engineer Ali Amer, member of the Department of Materials Engineering, obtained an international specialized certificate in the Advanced Cardiac Life Support Program for Adults, which is considered one of the programs of the American Institute for Health and Safety. The program relies on training according to scenarios that give continuous training with specific skills for health practitioners participating in resuscitation attempts. It is designed to give the trainees an opportunity to develop and improve their knowledge and apply skills professionally and proficiently. The program is in line with the latest international recommendations such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiac care from the American Heart Association.
