Head of Mechanical
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Being part of HUST means a lot to me. It gives me the opportunity to meet and work with passionate people and contribute to an exciting project. Being a member of HUST is not only about responsibility, but also about being part of a supportive community where everyone works toward the same goal.
As a mechanical engineer in the team, I get to work hands-on with technical challenges, which makes the role both exciting and educational. I’m developing my skills in problem-solving and mechanical construction, and I gain valuable experience in taking ideas from concept to reality.
The best part of HUST is the community and the feeling that we are building something together. Everyone is driven and motivated, which creates a fun and inspiring environment where you learn from one another. It’s rewarding to be part of a team where you can grow both technically and personally.

To me being part of HUST means joining an exciting project, and it feels inspiring to learn from others, and be part of a group that works together toward a big shared goal.
As an Aerodynamics Engineer, I’m stepping into a role that is both challenging and exciting. I get to take my theoretical knowledge and use it for very real problems. I will gain hands-on experience that will be extremely valuable in my future career.
The best part of HUST is the team spirit. Everyone is driven and curious, and it’s a great environment to grow, share knowledge, and have fun while doing serious engineering.

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Being a part of HUST is about pushing yourself as a student by using your knowledge gained from your studies into an actual project. The experience gained from being a part of this project made me grow as a person, as an future engineer and how much you can learn from so many other people with different interests.
I have been a part of HUST mechanical team since 2024 and my responsibilities have been designing the monocoque and wheel covers for HENRY, and being a strategist and race engineer during the iLumen European Solar Challenge 2024. Being a designer of such a core part of the car has taught me much regarding manufacturing ability, the importance of following regulations for safety, and how to transform CAD ideas into reality.
The best thing about HUST is that we all share the same interest and passion for creating the best possible solar car. Also, the opportunity to learn so much from a project like this, and getting the opportunity to participate in the events in Belgium and Australia have been amazing!

Structural Design
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
For me, being part of HUST is an opportunity to grow and apply my theoretical knowledge to real, challenging problems. Working alongside other students from diverse backgrounds has given me new perspectives and knowledge on how different ideas and solutions can come together toward a shared goal, building the best solar car!
I am part of the mechanical team and have designed and manufactured the roll bar and rear frame. Throughout the project, I have also been involved in composite manufacturing, car assembly, worked as a strategist during the iLumen European Solar Challenge 2024, and served as a mechanic during the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2025. The main challenge in my work has been optimizing the weight of the driver-protecting structure while ensuring that it meets the strict safety standards set by the competition regulations. Through the car’s manufacturing process, I have gained alot knowledge about me and the methods needed to bring an assembled model of a car into real life.
The best thing about HUST is the spirit of this team, we motivate and learn from each other to build truly somethin special. The process of this project has been both entertaining and at many times hard and challenging, but I will always carry both memories with me and, in hindsight, be forever grateful.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Product Development and Innovation
HUST allows you to learn many skills that aren't taught in school otherwise. The freeform nature of a group of students running a project on their own accord, from marketing and finance, to design and production presents many challenges. Working as a team across multiple disciplines with likeminded students and engineers creates one of the most rewarding projects I have been a part of.
I have been a part of HUST and the mechanical team since the end of 2023. My main responsibility has been composite part production and simulations for our monocoque structure. This has been challenging since it's a material I haven't worked with in the past so I have had to learn many of the skills needed during the project. Learning from past team members and our industry partners have helped me a lot along the way.
Apart from the previously mentioned opportunity to learn, the project is an exciting competition and challenge. During my time with the team we have competed both in Belgium and Australia. The races I have been a part of have been great adventures that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to make any other way.

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
For me, being part of HUST is a special opportunity to learn from the various expertise of my teammates and to grow together, closing the gap between individual study and collaborative, real world engineering.
My role as Structural Design engineer involves learning how to design the car's chassis to ensure safety and efficiency. I look forward to improving my skills in CAD software and understanding how to balance structural integrity with weight optimization.
The best thing so far is the energy and ambition of the team. Even as a new member I feel the shared drive to innovate and the supportive environment where everyone pushes each other to solve complex problems together.

Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics Engineering
Being part of HUST is to me a way of learning new things, connecting with people and having fun. learning to create, and work together with new people while getting to know them. In HUST I get to challenge myself and grow as a person learning outside of the classroom.
As a mechanical systems engineer in HUST i work together with a lot of people in the team to be able to design and build smart solutions, working from design to finished product.
The best part about being part of HUST is being part of a team of people with the same ambition towards the project. Being part of the HUST community means meeting new friends, working and having fun while doing it, always having someone to ask for help if you get stuck and being able to discuss different solutions. Being part of a team where everyone has different skills, experiences and ideas working together towards the same goal.

Composite Lamination
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
For me HUST is an opportunity to broaden my horizons and learn more about what it means to create something far beyond what any purely academic program can offer.
As a part of the mechanical team and as a Composite Lamination Engineer I will work with manufacturing the body and monocoque of the car using composite materials such as carbon fibre. I believe that this role gives an invaluable opportunity to learn about modern manufacturing processes as well as a great way to get connections in the industry.
The best thing about HUST is learning to work as a team to solve difficult engineering problems and to gain real world experience and of course to meet new friends.
