Demonstrating a commitment to modernization, I initiated the enhancement of office spaces and equipment for the department's staff. Furthermore, I played a pivotal role in facilitating the acquisition of a state-of-the-art laboratory dedicated to electric and hybrid vehicles. Oversight responsibilities included the successful repair and upgrade of the automotive dynamometer, as well as the comprehensive upgrade of all departmental laboratories. Notably, I strategically expanded the department's capabilities by adding a cutting-edge lab equipped with 22 individual computational terminals and two high-computation power stations. Additional advancements include the procurement of two 3D printers and the establishment of a pioneering lab featuring Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Jetson Nano boards, complete with essential hardware to empower students in mastering mechatronics skills.
