E3-Team EPSEVG

The E-3team is an association of engineering students from the bachelor’s courses taught at the UPC’s Vilanova i la Geltrú Campus.

The aim is to offers students an opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired in their academic training with the goal of developing new technologies for sustainable vehicles.

The team’s main activities are designing prototypes for electric racing motorbikes and competing against teams from the best universities around the world in the international MotoStudent Electric championship. Students learn by designing and building racing motorbikes that will undergo static scrutineering and dynamic tests based on the technical rules for the competition.

EPSEVG Racing Team

The EPSEVG Racing Team is an association of engineering students from the bachelor’s courses taught at the UPC’s Vilanova i la Geltrú Campus.

Team members share a passion for motor sport and a desire to apply what they’ve learned in the international MotoStudent Petrol competition, where they contend with over 70 university teams from 17 countries. Participants must design every part of their motorbike using a kit of compulsory parts provided by the organisers.

The team’s Pre-Moto3 prototype will undergo the static scrutineering and dynamic tests stipulated in the technical rules for the competition. If it passes this stage, the vehicle will advance to the final speed tests.

MESDI Group

MESDI is a non-profit industrial design association based on the campus of the Vilanova i la Geltrú School of Engineering (EPSEVG).

The project was launched in 2016 by Marta Torras, Carles Sala, Aya Ulan, Laia Fibla and Elena Vicente with the aim of promoting a culture of design and innovation in engineering.

MESDI organises thematic and educational workshops to complement the training students receive, as well as organising and participating in lectures, talks and roundtables. Through these activities, members seek to get UPC industrial design students involved, offering them the opportunity to join a young, active association that focuses on design. New members are invited to participate in one of MESDI’s departments.

Vilanova Formula Team

The Vilanova Formula Team is made up of students trained in the branches of engineering taught at the Vilanova i la Geltrú School of Engineering (mechanics, electrical engineering, electronics, informatics and industrial design).

The team takes part in Formula Student, a high-profile international event. The competition attracts teams of top students from the best engineering universities, who come together to showcase their design and prototyping projects for single-seat racing cars.

The Vilanova Formula Team was founded in 2014 and first competed in 2015 at the Circuit de Catalunya Catalunya track, with satisfactory results. In 2015-2016, they built on the experience gained the previous season, made various improvements to their single-seater and to team logistics, and participated once again in the national competition. The results confirmed that, with the changes introduced, the team was on the right track.

2016-2017 was a very good season. The team proved worthy of its higher ranking and was able to compete at the international level at the Varano de Melegari circuit (Parma). The team's main goals are to make technical improvements to its single-seat racing car and achieve better scores in static scrutineering. These objectives are achievable thanks to the collaboration of sponsors.

TEDxUPC

TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design)is a US-based limited company that organises conferences under the slogan “ideas worth spreading”.

TED conference organisers at the UPC are volunteers who think it's important for the University to promote activities that get people excited, offer learning opportunities, and provide a forum for sharing ideas and reflecting on significant issues.

We firmly believe that these events will contribute to strengthening Vilanova i la Geltrú’s character as a city and a university campus that are actively engaged with important ideas and issues.
