Under the sponsorship of the President of the University of Technology, Professor Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Hassan Al-Ghabban, and supervised by the Head of the Computer Science Department, Professor Dr. Alaa Kazem Farhan, the Computer Science Department organized a workshop titled "Program Accreditation Standards for Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement in Education." The workshop was conducted by Professor Dr. Jalal Mohammed Jalil from the Electromechanical Engineering Department in the Dr. Abbas Fadel Abdul Qadir Hall on Thursday, 2024/4/4, with the attendance of faculty and students of the department. The workshop provided an explanation of engineering program accreditation and introduced the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a non-governmental organization that accredits learning programs in applied sciences, computing, engineering, and technology. This accreditation primarily occurs in the United States but also globally. Program accreditation involves the agency accrediting a training program after verifying the program accreditation standards and utilizing all administrative and educational capabilities for training purposes, as in postgraduate programs. The lecturer noted that there are 500 engineering departments in Iraq, 300 of which have been audited and found not to meet the requirements. The success of this program fundamentally relies on the faculty themselves, teamwork, and the necessity of having a departmental expert council, possibly consisting of five individuals, meeting at least once a year. One of the challenges facing the program is the educator's toolkit; what is delivered from it significantly impacts the department. In conclusion, the department head, Professor Dr. Alaa Kazem Farhan, awarded a certificate of appreciation to the lecturer, acknowledging his efforts.

Under the supervision of the Head of the Computer Science Department, Professor Dr. Alaa Kazim Farhan, the Educational Guidance Unit held a meeting for first-year students of the Computer Security and Cybersecurity branch and the Artificial Intelligence branch on Wednesday, 2024/4/3, at the late Dr. Emad Kazim hall in the Computer Science Department building. The meeting was attended by the Administrative Assistant, Assistant Professor Dr. Bashar Saadon Mahdi, the Head of the Computer Security and Cybersecurity Branch, Assistant Professor Dr. Eyad Hazem Ibrahim, the Head of the Artificial Intelligence Branch, Dr. Mustafa Jasim, and the Director of the Educational Guidance Unit, Dr. Mohammed Ghani. The meeting emphasized the importance of adhering to modest attire, the mutual respect relationship among students themselves and between students and their professors, student discipline laws, compliance with official attendance, preservation of public property, personal hygiene, the Bologna process, and success in formative evaluation.

In support of humanitarian initiatives within the framework of community service, the Head of the Computer Science Department, Professor Dr. Alaa Kadhim Farhan, along with faculty and students of the department, organized a visit on Sunday, 2024-03-31, to the headquarters of Al-Ayn Social Care Foundation in the holy city of Kadhimiyah. The delegation was welcomed by the Director of Development Center and Technical Advisor to the Head of the Foundation, Dr. Imad Mohammad Aboud, for a field tour inside the foundation and its administrative departments in the Al-Anjam Al-Zahra building to learn about the major activities and services provided by the foundation for orphans and the poor, including a visit to the Rehabilitation and Psychological Counseling Center that the foundation offers to reintegrate orphans into society. During the visit, cash amounts from the donations of the department members were delivered. At the end of the visit, the management of the foundation thanked the Head of the Computer Science Department and the accompanying delegation for this kind initiative that reflects a culture of empathy towards others. It is worth mentioning that Al-Ayn Social Care Foundation is a humanitarian organization concerned with the affairs of orphans in need of care.

The head of the Computer Science Department, Professor Dr. Alaa Kazim Farhan, attended the iftar banquet organized by the University of Technology under the sponsorship of the university president, Professor Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Hassan Al-Ghabban.
