Formula SAE

Formula SAE is an international team-based competition where student members of the Society of Automotive Engineers design, build and compete against each other with custom-built small high-performance race cars.
The scenario has teams develop a car aimed at the amateur autocross (hill climbs and motorkana) driver market. The team also develops a manufacturing plan for a small-scale production run, and is assessed not only on production cost, but on the business case they prepare in a fictional attempt to sell the product.
Competitions are held in the USA, Europe and Australia and focus on three key elements:

• Engineering design, cost and marketing proposal;
• Solo performance trials; and
• High performance endurance tests.

Formula SAE offers young engineers the opportunity to work on a meaningful, complex engineering project in a dedicated team environment. Students manage the complete project including scheduling, budgeting, fundraising and cost control, design, sourcing equipment, materials and components, manufacturing and testing.
