Description:
(Please describe innovative program(s) on your campus. The following is an example of the description. You can describe more related items if needed.)
Small electric vehicle charging station with fully off-grid solar system and energy storage for mini EVs is installed at the parking area in front of the academic building 2. The highlight of this charging station is that it is a solar off-grid charging station. So there is no need to pay any electricity bills. Therefore, it can be installed in all areas, especially in remote locations or there is a distance that the government power system has not yet reached. The power of the solar cells is 4 kilowatts (kW), producing about 16 kilowatt hours (kWh) per day which can be used to charge 8-10 electric golf carts or motorcycles per day.

5) Eco-friendly frozen food packaging
"Eco-friendly canned and frozen food packaging, biodegradable" by Assistant Professor Dr. Uthai Meekham, Lecturer in Design Technology School of Engineering. Bringing knowledge and expertise in engineering Polymers combined with product design skills have resulted in bioplastic packaging with unique properties suitable for frozen food production processes and canned food packaging that can be adapted to the Thai food industry to increase market value. It is another innovation ready to transfer technology to interested entrepreneurs immediately. Please respond to the new economic development model towards sustainable development by driving the economy in 3 aspects:
• Bio-Economy.
• Using biological resources to create added value.
• Linking with the Circular Economy.
• Taking into account the reuse of various materials to their full potential.
In tandem with environmentally friendly production technology, he is also known as the Green Economy in a balanced, stable, and sustainable manner
