Under the direct supervision of the Head of the Computer Science Department, Professor Dr. Alaa Kadhom Farhan, and with the participation of the Administrative Assistant, Associate Professor Dr. Bashar Saadoun Mahdi, along with a group of department staff and students, the Computer Science Department organized a tree-planting campaign in the department's gardens today, Tuesday, October 1, 2024. A variety of evergreen trees and seasonal plants were planted to expand the university's green spaces and encourage volunteer work among students, as it positively impacts providing a healthy environment, enhancing the surroundings, and reducing pollution. It is worth noting that this campaign is part of a series of regular efforts by the department to maintain and sustain green spaces.

On Monday, September 23, 2024, a workshop was held on how to use the graduate student monitoring system, programmed by Assistant Lecturer Fadel Abbas Fadel and Assistant Lecturer Mohammed Thamer Abdulhadi from the Computer Science Department. The event was attended by the Director of the Graduate Studies Department at the University of Technology, along with all academic assistants and the heads of the Graduate Studies Division at the university. The purpose of this workshop was to introduce the academic and administrative staff to the system’s usage, demonstrating how its tools can be utilized to monitor graduate students and facilitate the management of each student’s academic progress. This system marks a significant step towards improving communication between students and supervisors and organizing academic information with greater precision and efficiency.

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.

The President of the University of Technology, Professor Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Hassan Al-Ghaban, extended his gratitude and appreciation to Professor Dr. Abeer Tareq Mawlood and Professor Dr. Ikhlas Khalaf Kabashi from the Computer Science Department for their outstanding efforts in publishing a high-quality research paper in a journal indexed in the Clarivate (WoS) database. The research paper is titled: "Symmetry Analysis in Constructing Two Dynamic Lightweight S-Boxes Based on the 2D Tinkerbell Map and the 2D Duffing Map." The university expresses its hope for their continued dedication and contributions in service of our beloved institution and our dear Iraq.
