UPB AIR has increased its team!

Recently, new members joined the team with fresh forces, motivated and eager to get involved in the many activities of the laboratory. The recruitment took place in two stages: Completing the online form and interviewing with the coordinating teacher

A main quality we are looking for is involved because the work in the laboratory requires time and dedication, as demonstrated by the young members fully. They quickly integrated themselves starting with enthusiasm for the work on both the practical and the theoretical side. Under the guidance of the “old ones” the recruits gain the experience, knowledge, and skills that will maximize the team’s competencies.

“Forming a team is just the beginning, staying together is progress, working together is a success.” Like the words of the famous philosopher Henry David Thoreau, the team often organizes meetings where problems are discussed, events are planned, and possible weekly tasks are. Communication is an essential part of the team’s efficiency, which is why we organize parties, the most recent being Christmas, when recruits, games evenings, and group projects participated.

Without adding anything else, we are happy to introduce you to the new members of our team.in

Dovînteza Constantin-Leontin is a student in the year of the Faculty of Energy. Building and repairing electronic items is one of his hobbies, which influenced his choice of faculty. She is also passionate about photography and walks in nature.

• What made you choose to join the UPB Air team?
• “The opportunity to learn new things in an interactive and possibly fun way, in a field different from the one I’m going to specialize in at my chosen college.”
• Which area is most of your interest in the team?
• “The field that arouses my greatest interest in the team is the manufacturing and testing of the prototype, this includes both the electrical and the mechanical and pneumatic parts.
• Do you think that the things learned at UPB Air will be useful to you during and after your studies?
• “I think any study opportunity is welcome given that engineering is a complex field involving knowledge in most technical fields, Deepening my knowledge of air and mechanics at UPB Air becoming an important advantage for the start of my engineering career.”

Olteanu Vlad-Andrei is a third-year student of the Faculty of Industrial and Robotics Engineering. His hobbies include Volunteering, camping, skydiving, music, and skateboarding.

• What made you choose to join the UPB Air team?
• “Since high school, I’ve been attracted to the idea of being part of an engineering club in the faculty. I think it’s nice to be part of a team of people working together on a project. Once I found out that there was such a place in our college, I didn’t think long before I enrolled.
• From what source did you find out about recruitment?
• “From my group mates, although I had seen that there was a room with such a club a long time ago.”
• Do you think that the things learned at UPB Air will be useful to you during and after your studies?
• “I am convinced that through UPB Air I will develop a lot professionally, gaining as much technical knowledge as possible, but also personally, because where you can learn better to work in a team than at an engineering club.”

Făsie Răzvan Tudor, a second-year student at the Faculty of Energy is passionate about design, problem-solving, music, and video essays.

• What made you choose to join the UPB Air team?
• “I chose to enroll in UPB Air because I wanted to be part of a project that challenges skills that cannot be used normally in our university. When I was registered in my first year, I was extremely disappointed because I expected many things to be different, especially the way we are prepared to become engineers. From what I had seen and heard almost everywhere, I understood that the engineer must be someone who, faced with a difficult situation, uses science and ingenuity to solve the problem. This image that was imprinted on my mind was the reason why I abandoned any other alternative to enrolling in UPB. However, the style of teaching I have found only encourages scientific training (and this, in large part, through memorization and writing after dictation), never encouraging the creative spirit. That’s why I consider myself lucky because I learned about the UPB Air project. In just 3 days after signing up, I learned many technical terms that will use after graduation, and I had to use my creativity to improvise a tool that I didn’t have in the workshop. I know it sounds like an extremely insignificant thing, but for me, it was very satisfying to see my “invention” go. I can’t wait to take part in the design of a new pneumatic car, with which I hope we will win the Pneumobile contest.”
• When did you first hear about UPB Air?
• “I first heard about the project when I was walking around the campus, and

I saw the first car created on the workshop. “

• Do you think that the things learned at UPB Air will be useful to you

during and after your studies?

• “UPB Air allows me to develop practical skills, and I’m sure that anything you do during college can help you be a better engineer. Given that information is everywhere on the internet and anyone can access it, employers believe that hard skills and discipline are much more important than the theory of college years. “

Arafat Khaled Marius, a first-year student of the Faculty of Industrial and Robotics Engineering is passionate about drawing, programming, application development, and experiments, especially on Arduino.

• From what source did you find out about recruitment?
• “I was just leaving the drawing class when a colleague told me that a car was walking in the college lobby so I met two UPB Air members who guided us toward the decision to join the team.”
