Abstract
This project aimed to design and implement UnibenEngVault, a web-based platform created to provide engineering students of the University of Benin with centralized and convenient access to academic resources such as lecture notes, past questions, and tutorial materials. The initiative was motivated by the persistent difficulty students face in sourcing relevant study materials dueto the lack of a unified and structured digital repository within the Faculty of Engineering. The development followed a structured methodology consisting of project planning and approval, problem analysis, system design, development, and deployment. The UI/UX design was created using Figma to ensure an intuitive and visually appealing interface. The frontend was developed with ReactJS, while the backend was implemented using Python (Flask) and PostgreSQL for database management. AWS S3 was utilized for cloud storage, and deployment was achieved through Docker, GitHub Actions (CI/CD), and DigitalOcean Droplets to ensure scalability and reliability. Security measures such as session authentication, CORS configuration, and bcrypt password hashing were implemented, alongside thorough unit, integration, and user testing. The final outcome is a secure, functional, and user-friendly platform that enables students to easily access department- and level-specific academic materials. UnibenEngVault enhances academic collaboration, improves resource accessibility, and provides a sustainable technological solution to the long-standing challenge of academic material distribution within the Faculty of Engineering

DESIGN OF SMART WASTE MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Year of Publication

Abstract
Rapid urbanization, particularly in places like Nigeria, intensifies waste management challenges due to the inefficiency and high cost of traditional collection. While current smart waste monitoring and management systems offer improvements through IoT monitoring, they often lack advanced sorting and comprehensive management features. This project
directly addresses these gaps by designing an innovative smart waste monitoring and management system that critically incorporates the automated segregation of metals and plastics, alongside enhanced automation and real-time data capabilities. Our prototype is a sophisticated solution that integrates various sensors—including ultrasonic and load sensors for fill-level monitoring and compaction, plus specialized inductive (for metals) and optical/capacitive (for plastics) detectors for sorting—with linear actuators for automated processes and a GSM/GPS module for wireless communication. This setup allows the system to not only monitor bin levels, automatically compact waste, and control the lid, but most importantly, to accurately sort plastic and metal materials at the source. This ensures more efficient resource recovery and recycling. Through rigorous testing of both hardware and software, we will verify the reliability of sensor performance, the effectiveness of automation, the accuracy of communication, and the precision of the waste segregation mechanism. The anticipated outcome is a fully integrated system that successfully demonstrates its capacity to accurately detect fill levels, initiate automated compaction, send prompt location-based alerts, and effectively sort waste. This proven dependability under real-world conditions highlights the system's potential to ignificantly alleviate urban waste management issues by reducing overflow, boosting collection efficiency, increasing recycling rates, and providing a scalable, sustainable solution for residential, commercial, and municipal settings. settings.

Abstract
This project, Product Expiry Alert Management System helps to improve the work efficiency of supermarket by providing daily, weekly or monthly expiry alerts of products. It also provides the basic information maintenance function of employees, memberships and products so that managers can through the function to add, delete, and modify the basic information of employees and the employees can through it to add, modify and delete the basic information of memberships and goods. It also tend to solve the problem of expired goods whereby notifying/alert supermarket managers when product is about to expire. Products expiry management system is very convenient for manage, input, output, and find the data so as to make the messy supermarket data to specific, visualizations, rationalization.
