Is there really only room for one in the driver’s seat? In the final installment of Engineering Racing Greatness, a collaboration between Andretti Autosport and TE Connectivity, you’re invited to take a look at the most important connection on a racetrack – the one between the driver and the engineering team.
Engineering Racing Greatness: The Data
Cars aren’t the only fast things on the racetrack. Data and the speed in which it’s processed are having a larger impact on a car’s performance. See how TE Connectivity and Andretti Autosport are using data to steer their way to victory at The Indianapolis 500 in this installment of Engineering Racing Greatness, a collaboration […]
Engineering Racing Greatness: The Conditions
Even racing’s ideal conditions are less than ideal. In the second installment of Engineering Racing Greatness, a collaboration between Andretti Autosport and TE Connectivity, we take a look at the heat, vibration, and other conditions that impact a car’s performance.
Engineering Racing Greatness: The Car
What does it take to be first on race day? The Indianapolis 500 is the world’s largest single-day sporting event—and one of its greatest engineering challenges. With cars hitting speeds near 230 MPH, engines firing at 1800° F, and the forces of 5 G’s around the corners –every last component needs to survive conditions that […]
This is how society feels about engineers
As a part of Engineering Week (we’re a little late with this!) our friends over at TE Connectivity decided to do a little digging into the lives of engineers. In the second annual Engineering Sentiment Survey, the researchers looked at 1,010 adults and how they viewed engineers in the community.
