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

Abstract
The goal of this project is to meet the urgent need for dependable extended backup power solutions designed with refrigeration applications in mind. One of the biggest challenges is keeping refrigeration systems running continuously, especially in areas where there are frequent power outages or unstable electrical supplies. A complex 1.5KVA inverter-based smart system that incorporates cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) technology is created and put into place to address this problem. The principal aim is to provide a stable and effective backup power supply for refrigeration systems, protecting perishable commodities and enhancing the general standard of living, particularly in neglected rural regions and essential establishments such as hospital blood banks.
The approach used in the creation of this ground-breaking solution include the painstaking
design and integration of essential parts with an emphasis on maximizing overall effectiveness and performance. To ascertain the best specifications for the inverter system, a thorough modeling and evaluation process comprised the first step. Ensuring compliance with the enhanced refrigeration needs while preserving maximum energy efficiency was essential. Furthermore, a charge controller was included to enable smooth integration with solar panels and maximize the system's ability to use renewable energy sources. The system design and component selection might be improved iteratively to match the project's unique goals.
A strong and adaptable smart inverter system with extended backup power for refrigeration applications is the best result of our effort. By using Internet of Things technology, customers can remotely keep an eye on and control vital metrics like battery life, temperature, and system performance in real time. This project intends to improve the resilience of refrigeration systems and aid in the preservation of necessary perishable goods by tackling the inherent difficulties of power outages and unstable electricity supplies. This will have a noticeable effect on community well-being and sustainable development
