THE ENGINEERING TEAM
PROVE's origins
PROVE Lab was started by a handful of students who saw the potential to do more with alternative energy. They wanted to be a part of something that had not been done before at Cal Poly and to accomplish something that had not been done in the world. With the flagship project, Dawn, they inspired more students to embark on prototyping their own vehicles to accomplish something amazing. With the second project, Mila, well on her way to breaking her own record, it is clear to see that the spirit that encouraged students to begin to PROVE will continue on.
United in passion
Members of PROVE lab are diverse in area of study, background, and interests. While some of our members are passionate about the automotive industry, most have passions that extend far beyond it or even the projects they are working on. The one unifying feature of our members is a strong desire to tackle meaningful challenges in pursuit of seeing an innovative concept brought to reality.
