Control and Systems Engineering Department organizes a scientific visit for its students to a battery factory

Control and Systems Engineering Department at the University of Technology organized a scientific visit for junior students in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering Divisions to the battery factory of the General Company for Automotive and Equipment Manufacturing. The students were accompanied by the faculty, including Prof. Dr. Bushra Kahdim Alawi, Asst. Prof. Dr. Ahmed Mudhar, Lec. Dr. Muhannad Nofal, Lec. Attard Khadir, and Lec. Reem Majeed.

The visit aimed to learn about the design principles of batteries, study operational processes, such as how the manufacturing process begins, understand the modern technologies used in battery design, and analyze sustainability strategies, including energy conservation, waste management, and efficient use of resources.

The scientific visit plan included an introduction to the factory, including an introductory session with the engineer in charge, covering the factory’s history, construction stages, classification, approved international quality standards, future vision, and marketing strategy. The visit also included a field tour of the factory’s departments to learn about the workflow, observe the battery manufacturing stages and operational procedures, and review the modern technologies used in the production lines.

This visit is a valuable opportunity for the students to understand the practical aspects related to battery design and manufacturing. This visit is part of the department’s efforts to enhance the practical aspects of students’ learning and connect them to the labor market, which contributes to developing their skills and qualifying them for industrial fields.
