As part of the activities of the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Electronic Engineering / Department of Electronic Engineering at the University of Ninevah, and within the college’s commitment to developing students’ technical skills and strengthening their practical competencies, an intensive applied continuing education training course entitled “From Microcontrollers to Smart Systems” was launched on January 25, 2026.
The four-day course was delivered by a distinguished group of the college’s faculty members and engineers, including Dr. Sahar Lazim Qadoori, Dr. Harith Hazem Thanoon, Engineer Asaad Abdul Ghani, and Engineer Yousif Maher Abdulwahab.
The course aimed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of embedded systems and electronic programming. Its topics covered basic concepts of electrical circuits, resistors, transistors, and principles of current and voltage, in addition to introducing the Arduino platform as a practical gateway to modern electronics applications.
The course also included intensive practical sessions involving the connection and programming of various sensors, such as temperature, light, distance, and motion sensors. Participants were also trained to use the C++ language within the Arduino IDE environment to control electronic components and develop interactive systems.
This course comes as part of the college’s efforts to qualify students and enable them to implement innovative electronic projects, develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills, and prepare them to participate in technical competitions and initiate applied graduation projects in the fields of robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT).
