We are happy to announce that Team ASTRAL successfully cleared its first round PDR of CanSat 2018 competition with 98.4848% and 6th position from 99 teams worldwide. Now, we are moving on the second phase CDR of the competition.
See you in Texas!
See you in Texas!
The primary topics for the interview related questions are as follows (one or more of the following Practical Topics of your expertise):
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Though a working knowledge of these topics will help a great deal for working during the project, these are NOT the only requirements.
Below as you can see, we have just divided the desired set of topics into two major domains to give a clear view but it is NOT necessary we are hiring students from those specific disciplines only.
Registrations are open to students of any discipline who could prove their worth and represent the team.
Selections will be solely done on the basis of your sheer willingness to work on the project, your attitude towards hard and consistent work and a positive approach to solve a given problem.
Those who are not at all aware of any of these topics need not to worry at all. The interview will be a general one and not technical.
