I joined PER to increase my practical experience in the field applications of mechanical engineering to further my educational experience here at Purdue, and to have fun while doing it! I find great enjoyment in working with the CAD/FEA/Manufacturing side of things, and can’t wait to further my understanding.

I am currently a Junior studying Electrical Engineering here at Purdue. I joined PER to be able to combine my passions for motorsport and engineering, as well as apply my skills learned in the classroom in a real world application. PER has given me plenty of experience which I cannot wait to bring into the professional world, especially since I would be grateful to land a career in a related industry, I believe many of the skills and lessons I have gathered so far would transfer seamlessly.

I’m a Mechanical Engineering student who loves using new technology to solve problems so I joined PER to start applying the work I have been doing in school to gain experience in the field of Vehicle Dynamics.

I am a third year mechanical engineering student… My work with PER has not only led me to feel more engaged in my classes and peers as I apply what I learn, but has landed me multiple internships in both vehicle dynamics and battery thermal analysis.

I joined PER because coming into college during the pandemic I knew I wanted to be involved in something, so I didn't spend all my time in a dorm. My friends suggested I join PER and I've loved it ever since. I've gotten to work on many fun and important projects like creating the first ever carbon fiber suspension linkages and designing the brake pedal. I've learned lots of machining processes as well as the importance of time management. My experience in PER has prepared me to fit very well into my internship with companies by having the previous experiences through PER.

I have joined PER to get hands on experience with electric vehicles while being able to apply the knowledge I've learned throughout my ECE classes. I have just finished the onboarding process and eager to help with the PCBs. I look forward to gaining experience and developing skills that help me break into industry.

I am originally from Milan, Italy and moved to Dallas, Texas. I am a member of the Drivetrain sub-team. Having always had a passion for the automotive industry, I decided to join PER to put my passions to a hands-on experience. PER has helped me create many connections with top companies as well motivate me to keep striving towards my dream of working in the automotive industry.

I’m an international student from Mexico who is passionate about engineering. I joined PER as I wanted to work on a team that would teach me how to build, test, and modify an electric car that is built from the ground up and all the skills that this would bring to me. I have learned how to machine multiple parts, test on carbon fiber, analyze test data, design on new 3D software software, and to work with a team. All these learnings have helped me to become a more complete engineer by complementing my in class learnings with some real world experience.
