ABOUT NICK LELEU
I’m a Purdue Mechanical Engineering student who loves turning ideas into reliable hardware. I gravitate to projects where I can model, build, test, and then refine the process so the next iteration is faster and cleaner. Recently, that’s meant deepening my CAD (Siemens NX), MATLAB, and Python skills and contributing to Purdue’s Electric Racing Team.What motivates me is engineering that performs under pressure: clear requirements, disciplined process, and thoughtful trade-offs. I enjoy collaborating across roles (design, manufacturing, test) and using data to guide decisions, tightening tolerances, improving workflows, or instrumenting quick experiments to learn faster.I’m exploring internships in automotive, manufacturing, and other topics that would deepen my understanding of how far engineering can take me. I value connecting with engineers and leaders who can share how their teams work together to acheive a common goal
