Dundee University is renowned for its high standards of teaching and the quality of its undergraduates.  Alan Shepherd has firsthand experience of this having collaborated with many academics and students while with NCR and during his development of DDM Services.  DRIVE has been set up to further this reputation and to provide students with a unique opportunity to experience a "real world" challenge.

The Formula Student programme challenges university students from across Europe to design, build, develop, market and compete as a team in a small single seat racing car.  Through these activities it promotes careers and excellence in engineering.  The Formula Student programme and its associated competitions are run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), in partnership with the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET), RS Components, Shell and SolidWorks.  See www.formulastudent.com.
