College of Engineering Innovates Advanced Educational Model for Internal Combustion Engines

The Department of Electromechanical Engineering at the University of Samarra has announced a distinguished scientific achievement through the design and implementation of an interactive model for a four-stroke internal combustion engine. This project aims to modernize laboratory demonstration tools and bridge the gap between theoretical and practical aspects.

The research team, consisting of supervising professors Prof. Dr. Riyadh Azzawi Badr and Prof. Dr. Mohammed Ismail Alaiwi, along with fourth-stage students (Omar Saeed Mahdi, Karrar Abdul-Nasser Mohammed, and Sufyan Adnan Attia), succeeded in converting a real engine into a simplified engineering structure. This allows students to directly and safely observe the movement of the pistons, crankshaft, and valves.

This innovation demonstrates the four-stroke stages (intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust) in a tangible visual manner that enhances the efficiency of scientific comprehension within the laboratory. Utilizing sustainable materials, the model ensures durability to serve as an educational tool for future generations.

It is worth noting that this project serves as a strategic step within the College of Engineering’s journey to develop its laboratories and achieve technical self-sufficiency. This enhances the skills of emerging engineers and confirms the ability of young national talents to innovate interactive educational solutions that elevate the level of academic and engineering outcomes.
