"Being on the Formula SAE team has taught me how to fail fast - race car design promotes innovative design unlike anything else and when working under strict timelines, determining the value of a new idea quickly and efficiently is essential."
Lisa Long
Project Manager
"There's nothing better than building a race car from the ground up with your bare hands. Formula SAE allows you to see your own design come to fruition and gain valuable engineering experience, unobtainable in a classroom, all while developing long-lasting relationships."
Adam Tkalcic
Powertrain
"Formula SAE is in a league of it's own. This is the very definition of learning by doing!"
Sarthak Sheth
Vehicle Dynamics and Aerodynamics
"Formula SAE has given me the opportunity to leverage what I am learning in the classroom in a real-world, hands on situation. It has allowed me to step away from the books to help design and fabricate a race car, all while meeting new people and expanding my network!"
Zac Giroux
Chassis
"Joining the Formula SAE team gives the opportunity for students to grow in ways they never thought possible. Time and time again, we surprise ourselves with what we are able to achieve and how we do it. This is more than just a group of students, its a family devoted to the development of each other."

Three Subteams.
One mission.
To win Formula SAE.
Design
Almost all major components of our vehicles are designed in-house! We're comprised of:
→ Vehicle Dynamics
→ Aerodynamics
→ Powertrain
→ Cockpit, Controls, Brakes, and Safety
→ Electronics and Data Acquisition
→ Frame and body
Fabrication
Almost all of our parts, components and molds are manufactured in-house! We're involved with:
→ Welding
→ Composite Manufacturing
→ 3D Printing
→ Water jetting
→ Machining
- → Lots of carbon fiber!
Business
We've built a car, now it is time to close the deal with a manufacturing* company and mass produce it!
We deal with:
→ integrating lessons learned in Finance, Accounting, Marketing and SMO.
→ a prompt, to which we create a full business plan in all aspects of the organization and present this plan at competition.
*a hypothetical company!
