The project is divided into two sections, the first and second semesters. The first semester has four chronological stages: training, research, design, and analysis. The second semester is shorter, with two phases: manufacturing and testing.

Seminars are provided to the team members on software such as Siemens NX, ANSYS, and many others that will benefit the manufacturing stage. In addition to this, team members will have to read previous competition have a better understanding of the task at hand.
Team members analyze typical problems of the past that may reoccur and investigate the best solution in the industry for vehicle optimization.
The team applies all knowledge and findings done during the training and research stages to design the Human Power Vehicle. It will be necessary for the application of Siemens NX for the development of Computer Aided Designs (CAD).
The team will apply software, such as ANSYS, to corroborate the design meets our requirements in fields such as stress analysis, drag coefficient, aerodynamics development, material composition, and more.
After creating a plan to manufacture and order all of the necessary pieces the team will toggle with manufacturing challenges taking into consideration all of the safety guidelines.
The team puts the vehicle through a series of tests to see if the desired requirements are met. From there on, the final adjustment will be made before competition day.
