Automotive Engineering
Facilities and Labs
Luban Automotive Workshop
The Luban Workshop at Ain Shams University (ASU) was established in 2020 as part of a strategic collaboration between Egypt and China to advance technological education. The workshop is dedicated to equipping students and graduates from diverse engineering and technological disciplines with practical, hands-on training. Its core focus areas include automotive inspection and maintenance, among other specialized technical fields.
Automotive Lab
The Automotive Lab is a state-of-the-art facility that supports a wide range of educational and research activities. It hosts practical sessions and technical tutorials aligned with academic courses and plays a key role in supporting final-year graduation projects. The lab also serves as a research environment for postgraduate students and academic staff.
Beyond its academic function, the lab acts as a hub for extracurricular activities, offering students hands-on training and real-world experience that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
Vehicle Dynamics Lab
The lab is dedicated to the research and development of vehicle tires and modern car suspension systems. It is equipped with two advanced simulators that replicate tire movement across various road surfaces using flywheel technology, as well as a testing system that simulates unpaved or rough road conditions to evaluate the vehicle’s suspension performance.
Autotronics Research Lab (ARL)
vehicle technologies, and artificial intelligence. The lab manages a diverse portfolio of projects, ranging from autonomous mobile robots to Level 4 self-driving cars.
Students actively engage in national and international competitions, demonstrating their expertise and advancing innovation in robotics and AI. Additionally, the lab offers specialized training sessions and workshops to enhance practical skills and knowledge.
Engines Lab
This lab specializes in research on the applications of green and renewable energy in internal combustion engines, aiming to broaden the horizons of fossil fuel alternatives and enhance their performance. Fuel alternatives such as natural gas and green hydrogen are tested on engines, and green hydrogen fuel is produced using solar energy.
