Taking on new challenges in totally different areas that apply new ideas and metrics has been core to Andy’s career, while at the same time training others in the pressurized environment of an ambitious project that will live or die by how it unfolds.
One such example was a project to develop a solar powered car for the World Solar Challenge (WSC), a biannual event which challenges participants to build solar powered cars that must travel 3,000 kms across Australia from Darwin to Adelaide in 6 days.
Andy was brought in to head an entry for the department of Engineering (IVE) of Hong Kong’s Vocational Training Council (VTC) which saw more than 300 students participate in the project with an eventual 24, along with selected staff, being chosen.
