Our team is developing\n      advanced technologies on a Chevrolet Blazer EV platform,\n      combining electrification, connected and automated\n      vehicle technologies, vehicle systems engineering,\n      and intelligent controls.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p>\n      AVT is primarily student-led and provides members with\n      opportunities to gain practical experience in engineering\n      design, software development, testing, project management,\n      communication, and teamwork. Students collaborate across\n      technical subteams to solve complex vehicle challenges\n      and prepare for careers in the automotive, robotics,\n      and mobility industries.\n    <\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n<!-- =====================================================\n     3.
