Student Teams work all year long to prepare for grueling competitions. Designs are perfected over years for the ultimate machine. Long before the students take to the track, they design, analyze, and then re-design/re-test their components and vehicles. I was fortunate to interview TEAM Eta, a Shell Eco Marathon team from Somaiya Vidyavihar University (SVU), in Mumbai, India.

The summer following my freshman year, I chose to enroll in a senior-level engineering design course, EDSGN 468, to elevate my SOLIDWORKS abilities. Before enrolling in the course, I spoke to the professor handling the course, and he managed to allow me to bypass the prerequisites. I had mentioned that I attained my CSWA, and I wanted to improve my SOLIDWORKS skills. You can learn more about how I attained my CSWA in my last blog.
