Project Zephyr Pro
Students who have completed Project Zephyr have the opportunity to advance to the next evolution of the Innovation Hub – Project Zephyr Pro.
Students are able to access the next level of technological progress together with extended independence. For all intents and purposes, this is an automotive mini-tech start-up.
- Students learn in-depth CAD in SolidWorks up to the level taught in first-year Engineering courses at university.
- Welding Course (~3 months) where students learn MIG and TIG welding in steel and aluminium.
- High-end composite manufacturing methods – Students design, simulate and manufacture a carbon fibre/Kevlar longboard to test out their skills before tackling the final challenge.
- Building a full-suspension 4×4 capable vehicle. Teams are required to design each component in CAD individually and create a large assembly file, which can bear simulations before moving on to welding their chassis and putting together the final concept.
Project Zephyr Pro expects a high degree of self-learning from students and time outside the classroom. The project is open to those that wish to push their limits and explore the depths of engineering.
