Erbil Polytechnic University Project Entitled: “Innovative Teaching Methods Based On Virtual Reality” With FH Bielefeld University Of Applied Science

As a part of the project entitled: “Innovative Teaching Methods Based on Virtual Reality” with FH Bielefeld University of applied science funded by DAAD, EPU student Ramyar Abdalla is writing his bachelor’s thesis on Campus Gütersloh on “Modeling, Simulation and 2D Animation of an Inverted Pendulum”. This student is supported by Prof. Dr. Christian Stöcker and Moaid Othman, a Research Associate in the Department of Engineering and Mathematics. This project is successfully gained by the International office of Erbil Polytechnic University. 

In this work, a mathematical model of an inverted pendulum is created and a stabilizing controller designed. The equations of the control loop are then implemented in Unity, a software that also programs many computer games. The program can thus be started on VR glasses and shows the stabilized by the regulator inverse pendulum in a virtual laboratory. Thereby contributes to the construction of virtual laboratory experiments.

The project of “Innovative Teaching Methods Based on Virtual Reality” consists of two phases. Firstly, the research and bachelor thesis of incoming EPU students at FH Bielefeld. This phase includes three points which are:

  1. Specification of the research project by project owner at FH Bielefeld;
  2. Publication and subsequent recruitment of candidate;
  3. Conjoint supervision of bachelor thesis project by professors of both institutions to foster academic cooperation potential and future research projects.

Secondly, initiate and cooperation via visiting a delegation from EPU. This phase consists of two points which are:

  1. Invitation of EPU delegation consists of professors from the field of control and automation technology;
  2. Scientific assistants and visit consisting of campus tours (Bielefeld, Gütersloh, Minden), laboratory tours, meetings, German classes in the form of a workshop and/or seminar.

In the next upcoming days of this year, a delegation of EPU consists of five academic staff will visit FH Bielefeld to tackle common interests for possible research cooperation and exchange of students and staff.

A Delegation Of Erbil Polytechnic University Attending IGNITE Conference 2019

A delegation of Erbil Polytechnic University represented by Dr. Nageb Toma Bato, the Assistant of the Rector for Scientific Affairs and Asst. Prof. Dr. Botan Majid Asngar, the Dean of Erbil Technical Institute participated in IGNITE 2019, the 7th annual conference of SPARK organization in Amsterdam city at Holland.

IGNITE Conference is the only event worldwide that brings together refugees. Entrepreneurs, education Experts, private sector, governments, academia, and NGOs to improve higher education, promote sustainable economic empowerment and strengthen leadership amongst young people in fragile states.

From 2016, Erbil Polytechnic University in collaboration and cooperation with SPARK organized educational courses for Syrian refugees and attend to provide other various projects in the future in the fields of learning and training which will be supervised by EPU.

Erbil Polytechnic University And Tribhuvan University Of Nepal Signed A Memorandum Of Understanding (EPU)

Erbil Polytechnic University (EPU) and Tribhuvan University of Nepal which is the second university in ranking at Nepal signed an academic and scientific Memorandum.

a delegation of EPU consisted of Ms. Rawshan Othman Ali and Mr. Bestun Abdulmajid Othman who are academic staff at Koya Technical Institute/EPU met with the University of Tribhuvan at Nepal so as to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The key points of this MOU concentrate on developing an academic and scientific relationship between the two universities which will step forward to build a sustainable development through holding mutual conferences and Scientific researches and exchange students.

The Tribhuvan University of Nepal consisted of four faculties which is the top two universities in the ranking of Nepal and 800-1000 best universities in the world by Times Higher Education ranking in 2019.

Erbil Polytechnic University Participates In N.E.W.S 16th International Annual Conference in China

On 21 and 22 of November 2019, a delegation of EPU consisted of Asst. Lecturer Mr. Bestun Abdulmajid Othman and Ms. Rawshan Othman Ali, an academic staff of Koya Technical Institute attended an annual international conference of Global Universities hosted by China Three Gorge University in the city of Yinchuan.

In the conference, the representatives of EPU delivered a presentation about EPU in order to provide brief information concerning its background. It is worth mentioning that more than 29 universities and organizations from 15 different countries attended the conference.

The conference was first initiated in 1994 by the Berlin University of Applied Science where they created a joint network of non-governmental organizational universities and colleges from Europe and East Asia called N.E.W.S. standing for North, East, West, and South and it has Members from all over the world.
