EV Thermals Lead

"This team has been the perfect opportunity for me to explore my passion for motorsport engineering and has let me find a niche at UTD that I deeply care about. This team has let me teach other passionate individuals about topics I care about, which is something I'm very grateful for. I hope I can continue this process of learning and teaching for future members to continue to benefit from."

PROJECTS

Simulations

Conduct thermal-fluid analysis simulations to validate designs

Fuseology Test Engineering

Accumulatror Intake

Design accumulator in for proper cooling requirments based on simulations

Battery Cell Tests

Build a test bench to test batter cells

SKILLS

New members can expect to gain practical experience with aero and vehicle dynamics. They will experience the full engineering process, from research & development, prototyping, design, and finally testing & validation. Throughout the design process members will gain proficiency with professional software such as SolidWorks and Ansys Fluent to aid in their design process. They will get opportunities to manage projects and work with other sub-teams to make their projects more effective. Additionally, members should expect to gain a plethora of soft skills such as speaking, collaboration, and more. This should lead to well-rounded members that can easily transition into the industry.

NEW MEMBERS

New members will walk through a semester long course to prepare them for component design in spring. Throughout each stage in the learning process, members will take part in projects that support the necessary concepts and will act as a metric for their progress. In the end, we aim to provide a practical aerospace experience that is not present anywhere else at UTD.
