Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾R Eco-Marathon team

The Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Eco-Marathon racing team aims to push for the most fuel-efficient vehicle design using sound engineering principles and effective communication. Five crucial roles in our team are mechanical design, electronics, aerodynamics, race strategyÌýand simulation.

Our ultimate mission is to break the world record by crafting a vehicle capable of achieving 6500 km/l in fuel efficiency. The main event of the year is the Shell Eco-marathon, an international student engineering competition that beckons students to design, manufacture, and pilot some of the world's most fuel-efficient vehicles.

Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾R Formula Student team

Formula Student is an international competition, created for students from various engineering backgrounds to design and build the fastest single-seater car.

Formula Student is an incredible engineering project, bringing together many aspects of engineering from design to manufacturing, to operational management and performance simulation. Formula Student operates out of Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾'s MechSpace facilities where we design and manufacture our own parts to compete at the highest level of international student motorsport.

Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾R Mars Rover team

The Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Rover project is an interdisciplinary challenge aiming to build a Mars Rover much like Curiosity or Perseverance and compete with it at the European Rover Challenge. Autonomous navigation capabilities combined with a robust rocker-bogie suspension (6 wheels, 4-wheel-drive system) allow the Rover to traverse the hazardous Martian terrain without human intervention. Robotics expertise and core mechanical engineering design principles are incorporated into a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm capable of servicing equipment and lifting objects. The Rover is also equipped with a science cache, enabling it to collect Martian soil samples to test for the presence of life.

Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾R UAS Team Nova

UAS Team Nova is the student-led Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ drone team. We are an enthusiastic entity where we dedicate our time and effort to build and programme drones from scratch which will compete in the IMechE UAS Challenge annually. Currently, we are a team of fifteen students with fourÌýsubsidiary teams which are aerodynamics, chassis, propulsion, and control.

Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾R Rocket team

At Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Rocket, we design, develop, buildÌýand launch rockets to compete on the global stage whilst working towards our ultimate ambition of venturing into space! We are one ofÌýthe youngest of the Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾R teams, but this has not stopped us from achieving brilliant results:Ìýwinning the UK National Rocketry ChampionshipÌýand achieving 10th internationally at the Spaceport America Cup. We are focusing on developing and building our own liquid propellant engine, which will be used to compete in the European Rocketry Challenge in Portugal and will be a vital step towards space!

Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾R Human-Powered Submarine team

The newest Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾R team, we are the Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾R Human-Powered Submarine Team, a dynamic group of aspiring engineers, innovators, and ocean enthusiasts, passionately committed to the thrilling world of human-powered submarine design and racing.Ìý

Our journey revolves around the prestigious European International Submarine Race (eISR), a biennial event that unites student teams from around the globe in an exhilarating showcase of engineering excellence and athletic prowess!
