The Formula Student team completed another successful race

This is a brief report on the Formula Student Alpe Adria competition, where we arrived on August 20th, eagerly beginning our preparations for the race week. The team immediately got to work: we set up the campsite, prepared the pit, and attempted to participate in the driver egress event, which ultimately had to be postponed until the next day.

The next day started with the mechanical scrutineering, where, despite finding a few issues that needed fixing, we quickly resolved them. All four of our drivers successfully completed the driver egress, bringing a great sense of relief. On Thursday, we continued making repairs and successfully passed the tilt, brake, and noise tests in the afternoon, feeling that each step brought us closer to our goals.

On Friday, we started at the practice area, followed by the acceleration and skidpad events, where we managed to achieve timed results. That same day, we held our Cost and Manufacturing, Business Plan Presentation, and Engineering Design presentations, during which we were honored to have Vincenzo Bevilacqua visit us.

On Saturday, despite some technical challenges, we successfully completed the autocross event after the track walk and then participated in a team photo session. On Sunday, we completed 13 laps during the endurance event, but a technical issue prevented us from continuing the race. Nevertheless, we ended the week on a positive note, and Vincenzo Bevilacqua’s words of praise reassured us that we were on the right track.

The event concluded with an award ceremony and a farewell party, and the next day, we packed up and headed home. We are incredibly proud of the team and deeply appreciate everyone’s hard work during the Alpe Adria event.

One semester in Subotica as a cyber security engineering BSc student

Our semester at Subotica Tech – College of Applied Sciences through the Erasmus program was an incredibly positive experience for us, students of the cybersecurity program at the Óbuda University Donát Bánki Faculty of Mechanical and Safety Engineering. The cities of Subotica and Palić impressed us with their beautiful architectural styles, cultural richness, and hospitable residents. The Art Nouveau buildings of Subotica, such as the city hall and the synagogue, along with the lakeside beauty of Palić, were particularly memorable for us.

The Subotica Technical College provided high-quality education. In the Web Programming course, we learned how to create secure and efficient web applications. The Security in E-Business Systems course offered us a deeper insight into the security aspects of electronic data management and digital communication. The Applied Research Work course gave us the opportunity to delve into a research topic, developing our analytical and critical thinking skills. The Computer Networks course was essential for our cybersecurity studies, providing comprehensive knowledge about network architectures and security measures.

The direct and supportive relationship between the teachers and students, as well as the teamwork, helped us forge many new friendships and become part of a cohesive community. During our time here, we not only developed professionally but also grew personally. The beauty of Subotica and Palić, along with the hospitality of the locals, provided experiences that we will always look back on fondly.
