WHY WE HELP FORMULA STUDENT TEAMS

We partner with ambitious Formula Student teams across the UK, providing free Eplan Education and Eplan Harness proD Education software. 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.
