The UBC Solar Car Project team in its present incarnation is composed of over 50 dedicated and enthusiastic students. Under the management of 5th year Engineering Physics student Tim Leung, the team has been subdivided into groups of two to five students, each working on a different section of the car or on an important aspect of the project. Many of these students are earning credit towards their degree. However, most of our team is composed of volenteers who selflessly dedicate their time to this exciting project.
Many students are so excited about the project they have put in a great amount of work.
As well as the hard work and brain power of its members, the UBC Solar Car Project has access to other important resources. The team works out of two labs on campus. One in the Physics building has a separate office for management. Also critical to the completion of the project is access to the Student Machine Shop, where components are cut, welded, filed, sanded, drilled, milled, lathed, or otherwise prepared for assembly. The team members also have access to the extensive computing resources on campus.
