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.
