Welcome back boilers! Are you interested in joining our team? Scan the QR code above to get access to our call-out Zoom link. No experience necessary to join and we welcome all majors! We hope to see a lot of new faces there!

We are starting our member spotlights again! This week we’re introducing Jacob, our Electrical Chief Engineer. He oversees the Electronics, Battery, and Drivetrain subteams and makes sure that all their designs integrate well. He is a junior in Electrical Engineering Technology, and his favorite thing to do on the team is design PCBs.

We’re welcoming the new 2020-2021 academic year! Despite COVID related changes, there will be a virtual SAE callout on Tuesday, September 1st at 7 pm. Click the link in our bio for more information and we look forward to seeing you there!

For our team member spotlight, we’d like to introduce Chris. When asked to describe Chris, the team often says the word dedicated. He has put in hours of work in welding our chassis and we couldn’t do it without him!

The vehicle dynamics team has been working on machining our upright A-Arm brackets!

Some footage of our chassis team welding the impact attenuator test bulkhead!

We want to give a big thanks to our sponsor @skfgroup for supplying us with bearings for PER2020!

Planning on finishing up welding tabs on our chassis this week!

Last Saturday, PER had a great time at @k1speed for our annual go karting tournament. Congrats to James, our aero subteam lead, for taking first!

For our team member spotlight this week, we’d like to introduce our old Drivetrain Lead Michael Knese. He’s from St. Louis, MO and is a Junior in ECE. He likes power tools and is a diehard Blues fan.

A first look. #chassis #beginnings #welding #tabs #newcarsmell
