Advanced Training Workshop at Al-Mustaqbal University: Integrated Smart Gas Leak Detection and Alarm System
As part of the summer training program organized by Al-Mustaqbal University for students of the Colleges of Engineering and Engineering Technologies, and under the esteemed patronage of Prof. Dr. Hassan Shaker Majdi, President of the University, a specialized workshop was held on Monday, July 7, 2025, under the direct supervision of the Al-Mustaqbal Center for Artificial Intelligence Applications, in collaboration with the Center for Continuing Education, titled: "Integrated Project: Gas Leak Detection and Alarm Activation," delivered by Eng. Mohammed Saad Abaes, member of the AI Center team. The session focused on designing a smart system using Arduino and gas sensors to detect flammable gas leaks and automatically trigger an audible alarm to ensure safety. The hands-on component included building a working prototype, reading sensor data, programming the alert mechanism, and integrating electronic components in a real-world simulation. The workshop also addressed the relevance of such systems in home and industrial safety, highlighting their role within IoT (Internet of Things) applications and encouraging students to explore practical, tech-based solutions to everyday challenges. This initiative aligns with the university’s commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly: Goal 4: Quality Education Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure 🔷 Al-Mustaqbal University – The top-ranked private university in Iraq
