Tishk International University<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<\/strong>Erbil Polytechnic University<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0hosted\u00a05th International Engineering Conference<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(IEC2019)<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0on June 23-25, 2019. IEC2019 is technically sponsored by IEEE and IEEE Iraq Section. The conference aimed to disseminate research findings and provide a platform for scholars to debate and exchange ideas on the developments in the field of engineering. The accepted papers will be indexed by IEEE Xplore Digital Library Database. Furthermore, the conference provides our graduate students a chance to establish communication with experienced researchers to discuss their current work as well as to be engaged in future research topics, and new opportunities.<\/p>\n

The program committee (the reviewers) is comprised of 200 members, 172 of them are PhD holders in certain fields of engineering, relevant to one or more conference topics mentioned above. The quality measures of papers included several criteria such as Relevance and Timeliness, Novelty and Originality, Technical Content and Correctness, Quality of Presentation, References used in the paper, Written Language, Reviewer Expertise, Overall Recommendation.<\/p>\n

This year, the total number of submitted manuscripts stood at 142 from several countries including Cyprus, Germany, Hungary, India, Iran, Iraq, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and United Kingdom. By track, 68 papers were related to Computer Engineering & Information Technology topics, 25 papers were related to Engineering Applications topics, 12 papers were related to Digital Communication topics, 17 papers were related to Construction Engineering topics, 6 papers were related to Environmental and Hydraulic Engineering topics, while 14 articles were written in the Geo-Technical and Transportation Engineering related fields.<\/p>\n

The rate of acceptance was 57% while 61 papers pre-accepted and presented. Erbil Polytechnic and Tishk International University are grateful to all\u00a0<\/strong>prospective presenters\u00a0<\/strong>for their valuable contributions that will bring new perspectives on the developments in the Civil and Computer Engineering to Kurdistan Region.<\/p>\n
