What role could you play in future mobility?

There is no single route into future mobility. A hyperloop-related project can involve mechanical and electrical engineering, software, sensors, data, safety, infrastructure, sustainability, design, communication, policy and business. Exploring these disciplines helps students and young professionals identify where their interests and skills may fit without suggesting that one specific career path is guaranteed.
