The third issue of vol.9 for the Kufa Engineering Journal (KUJ) was (released).

The dean of the faculty of Engineering, Dr. Al-Athari state that the (KUJ) is scientific journal which published from engineering faculty at University of Kufa, this journal was established to (spread) new knowledge and technology in engineering field. all scientific articles in the journal –which belong to inside and outside Iraq– is yielded to high scientific assessment and publishing and documentation rules.

Both, editor in chief Prof. Muhammed Abbas and managing editor Assist Prof. Ababs Talib said that the engineering journal published a high standard scientific papers in a range of engineering fields like; civil, electrical, mechanical, telecommunication… etc.

They pointed that our main next goal is to make this journal Scopus indexed

Finally they declare that all members in the staff of the journal are ready to publish the next issue (which means that this volume will have four issues for the first time)

It is worthy to mention that this issue include a fifteen high standard scientific papers, all these papers were subject to all international scientific specifications, and they are listed as below:
