This software is used by teams to design and then build the electrical systems and harness of their vehicle. Formula Student is a brilliant opportunity for students to transition from education into industry, seeing a huge project through from concept to completion. For students to gain such experience before even entering the workforce will also help close the skills gap, leading to a growing pool of talented graduates. Eplan is proud to help the next generation of electrical engineers to reach their potential.   Team HARE ### Preparing for success [![WATCH: Team HARE and their journey with
