Under the patronage of the President of the University of Technology, Professor Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Hassan Al-Ghaban, and supervised by the Head of the Computer Science Department, Professor Dr. Alaa Kadhim Farhan, the Computer Science Department organized a workshop titled: "Graduate Students Tracking System" The event was held on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, in the Dr. Imad Kadhim Memorial Hall within the department’s building. It was attended by the Head of the Department, Professor Dr. Alaa Kadhim Farhan, the Administrative Assistant, Assistant Professor Dr. Bashar Saadoun Mahdi, the Director of the Scientific Affairs and Cultural Relations Division, Dr. Anmar Ali, and the Head of the Planning Division, Assistant Lecturer Rasha Mohammed Mohsen, along with faculty members and graduate students. The lecture was delivered by Assistant Lecturer Fadel Abbas Fadel, a member of the university’s central automation committee and a faculty member of the department. The workshop focused on transforming the paper-based forms of graduate students into an electronic system, as requested by the Scientific Assistant. The system allows faculty members to monitor students, prepare research plans, track progress, and assess students' work. It also provides tools for preparing the theoretical aspects of research, displaying detailed information, and updating student data in case of errors. Additionally, the system records the date of the thesis defense and whether any required modifications were completed, as well as presenting students' academic records to supervisors. At the conclusion of the workshop, certificates of appreciation were awarded to the members of the Graduate Students Tracking System Committee in recognition of their efforts in delivering the lecture.
