Engineering

From CAD
to competition.

Students define the problem, design it, manufacture it, wire it, program it, and then drive it under match pressure.

03 — Manufacturing

Ideas become
hardware.

Parts are made in-house. Students weld, print, machine and assemble the components they designed — which means a design decision on Monday is a physical part they are testing by the end of the week.
