On 9/22/2019, each of academic staff (Prof. Dr. Sahama Issa Saleh,  and Prof. Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Hassan al-Ghabban, Department of Materials Engineering / University of Technology,  and Dr. Alia Hussein Abdul Salam Center for Nanotechnology Research and Presentation Materials / University of Technology) got patent tagged:

"Manufacture and characterization of polymeric mixtures and hybrid nanocomposites for use in medical applications as a cartilaginous replacement in the articular surface of the moving bones"

The patent included the manufacture of polymeric mixtures and some nanocomposites and the production of materials used in medical applications as hybrid materials with a high ability to work in special conditions in the human body as is the case in the process of replacing cartilage and the separating surfaces between bones. This study indicated the opening of new horizons for the use of the aforementioned materials as medical materials manufactured according to specifications required for tissue replacement operations.

Mr. Prof. Dr. Imad Hussein Marzah Al-Husseini, President of the University of Technology, presented a book of thanks and appreciation to the teaching prof. Ali Hussein Ataiwi / Department of Materials Engineering due to his exceptional and distinguished efforts in the committees of the Fourth International Conference on Building and Construction Engineering and the Environment / Istanbul, according to the book No. 12658 dated 13/11/2019.

Mr. Prof. Dr. Imad Hussein Marzah Al-Husseini, President of the University of Technology, presented a book of thanks and appreciation to the Asst. Prof. Jawad Kadhim Alaiwi / Department of Materials Engineering due to the his distinct efforts in preparing and producing the manuscripts in the Journal of Engineering and Technology, which resulted in occupying its position as a solid scientific magazine, according to the book numbered C / 9/1350 on 7/11/2019.

Ass. Prof. Dr. Fadhel A. Hashem / Head of the Department of Material Engineering, Ass. Prof. Dr. Nahed Mahmoud / Associate Head of the Department for Administrative Affairs, and number of the department faculties were attending the seminar titled

- Prof. Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Hassan Al-Ghabban, Eng. Muhannad Najm Abdul Wahid, M.A. Ali Kamel Ahmed teaching staff in the Department of Materials Engineering / University of Technology, participated as lecturers in the training course entitled:

"MICROSOFT WORD"

Which was established by the Continuous Education Center at the University of Technology for the period 10-14 / 11/2019, and the course included introducing the participants to the program lists and how to benefit from it in printing and bringing the participants to the level of professionalism.

• On 21/10/2019, assist. Prof. Laith Kais Abbas, university of technology- materials engineering department, participated in a workshop entitled (Photo catalysis and its application). The workshop was organized by the nanotechnology and advanced materials center at the conferences hall. The workshop discussed the role of photo catalysis in solving the problems of environment and energy sectors. The photo catalysis can be used to remove the dangerous materials i.e. organic and toxic materials as well as the heavily metals ions. It can also be used in some production processes such as hydrogen gas production from photo water decomposition.
• A thank letter was awarded to Prof .Dr. Aseel Basim Abdul-Hassan (materials engineering department) by the President of the University of Technology, Prof. Dr. Imad Hussain Merza Al Hussaini, for her special effort in publishing journal paper  according to the world ranking Clarivate Analytics.
