MathWorks is encouraging the use of its MATLAB and Simulink software by student engineers by offering a £500 prize for the most effective use of the design tools during the Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ Formula Student competition at Silverstone next week.
As part of the video challenge, MathWorks is offering participating students from universities across the country the opportunity to win £500 by submitting 2-4 minute videos demonstrating how MATLAB and Simulink was used to design and test their cars during the competition.
The final videos will be uploaded to YouTube, under the hashtag #MATLABFS along with a separate entry form per video.
The Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ Formula Student competition challenges student engineers to design, build and race a single seat racing car in one year. There will be 135 teams in total, with 49 from the UK and teams from as far afield as Australia, Turkey and Ukraine.
Coorous Mohtadi, senior academic technical specialist at MathWorks said:
“Formula Student provides a great opportunity for students to work on an industry-scale project and put their engineering knowledge into practice, as well as developing important skills such as project management and problem solving. MATLAB and Simulink are standard tools within industry so gaining hands-on experience will help them prepare for their future careers.”
Submission dates are as follows:
· ‘Design phase’ and ‘building your car at the workshop’ video submission date – July 1st 2015
· ‘Car performing at the competition’ video submission date – August 14th 2015
· Competition winners will be announced on September 30th 2015
Professor Richard Folkson, president of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and former chief judge at Formula Student said:
“Formula Student really is the breeding ground for the best young engineering talent and I’m looking forward to seeing all the fantastic innovations in this year’s cars.”
