The teaching staff, (Prof. Dr. Aseel Basem), (Assist. Prof. Dr. .Kadhem Matar Shabib), and (Assist. Lec. Ai Noor Ibrahim), Department of Materials Engineering/ University of Technology, participated in the 3rd Patent Fair held at the Industrial Research and Development Agency/Ministry of Industry on 2020/12/7. The teaching staff participated in the patent tagged "Manufacturing of green concrete from industrial waste"

 The summary

 The effect of Alabaster powder, as a partial alternative to cementing, is significantly improved the mechanical properties of concrete by a 26%. This type of application is used in the foundations of houses, dams and medium-sized bridges.

Assist. Prof. Dr. Ahmed Ameed , Department of Materials Engineering / University of Technology, participated in the discussion of the MSc student (Noor Sabah Noori). The title of the thesis is (Increasing Effective Life of Cu-Based Alloys Used in Ship Industries).

The student studied the effect of elements i.e. iron, nickel, manganese, aluminum, yatrium and germanium on the properties of corrosion by erosion of copper alloys used in marine applications. The oxidation was also studied at temperatures of 250 ^oC and 800 ^oC in addition to the tests of hardness, microstructure, , porosity and density and the results showed a significant improvement of properties, especially when yatrium and germanium were added due their ability to form a protective layer and high oxide for high ambient conditions resistance.

The discussion committee was formed of the teaching staff listed:

Also, a letter of thanks and appreciation was given to the Assist. Prof. Ahmed Ameed from The Dean of the Faculty of Materials Engineering/ Babylon University (Prof. Dr. Emad Ali Dasher) for his efforts in the membership of the discussion committee according to the book No. 2531 on 2020/12/7.

The department of Materials Engineering in University of Technology  awarded the master degree to graduate student Ahmed Hashem Allawi under his thesis titled “Removal of Sulfur Fractions from Crude Oil by Nano-biopolymer”.

An academic meeting was held on Tuesday 1/12/2020 at 6:00 PM on google meet hosting Materials Engineering Department Faculty presided by the department chair “Assistant Professor Husayn Alaa Jaber” and Lec. Dr. Mohannad N. Jawad Al-Shroofy, deputy chairman of Materials Engineering Department for postgraduate affairs. Many important academic issues were discussed in this meeting, the most important were working together for a better online academic study, making online schedules for both day and night school, focusing on a better academic research for faculty members, preparing research projects for senior students. Finally, they decided that the traditional college graduation picture day to be on Monday 21/ 12/ 2020.
