About Our Teams

Our three sub teams work together in order to lead UMEB to victory! Each team works throughout the year to prepare for our summer competition - the Promoting Electronic Propulsion Competition. We rely on communication across all three teams in order to reach our goals! We operate with the DEI initiative that states that diversity is paramount to UMEB's success. We are building the next generation of leaders in the field of engineering. Everyone is welcome to our team regardless of background, experience, or area of expertise. There is a place for everyone at UMEB!

Team Goals

  • Foster inclusivity and community among a group of diverse individuals, especially younger members to further their understanding of sustainable technologies and to provide leadership opportunities
  • Develop a two-year plan for team structure and possible design upgrades, integrating all team members in the design and build process to develop a stronger team culture
  • Expand upon our theoretical knowledge to create real-world solutions, utilizing data collection and modeling software for our calculations
  • Design and build a complete electrical system capable of high performance
