🚗⚙️ Advancing Engineering Education with Hybrid Vehicle Technology

The Mechanical Engineering Department is proud to introduce a set of newly acquired laboratory equipment to support the teaching and learning of hybrid and electric vehicle technologies, in line with our updated curriculum.

These advanced training systems provide students with hands-on experience in:
🔹 Hybrid vehicle systems and architectures
🔹 Electric vehicle motor control and battery management systems (BMS)
🔹 Electronic control systems and diagnostics
🔹 Real-time performance analysis and testing

From engine electronic control training boards to Toyota hybrid system platforms and vehicle testing setups, these facilities will bridge the gap between theory and real-world automotive applications.

🎓 This initiative strengthens our commitment to producing industry-ready graduates equipped with modern automotive and sustainable mobility knowledge.

🙏 Special thanks to Eng. Nipun Tantrigoda and Dr. S.D.R. Perera for their valuable support and contributions in bringing these facilities to our department.

On the occasion of the Sinhala and Hindu New Year,

The Department of Mechanical Engineering extends its warmest wishes to all academic staff, non-academic staff, and our dear students.

May this New Year bring you prosperity, happiness, and success in all your endeavors.
