This year is a turning point for our team. Having successfully designed, built, and competed in the Formula SAE competition in Michigan for the past two cycles, we are pushing ourselves to elevate our engineering by embracing a data-driven design philosophy. This strategic shift is in direct response to feedback from FSAE design judges last year, who emphasized the importance of setting concrete performance goals and validating designs with empirical data.

Our primary objective for the current design cycle is to develop a vehicle capable of completing the endurance event in under 30 minutes. To achieve this ambitious target, we are pursuing two significant technical advancements: the integration of a more advanced data acquisition system and the development of our team’s first-ever aerodynamics package. To get this data, we are integrating over ten new sensors into our car, including wheel speed sensors, suspension strain gauges, and infrared tire temperature sensors. This data is the key to creating and validating a full-vehicle suspension simulation in MATLAB and an aerodynamic model. For the first time, these models will allow us to define our suspension geometry and new aerodynamics package with test data, marking our transition from theory-based to data-driven engineering.

To ensure we can meet these incredible goals we are launching a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $20,000 by Nov 14. All funds will go directly toward the materials for our composite work that will give our s a hands-on learning experience they simply would not have otherwise. The funds will also contribute to our new suite of sensors, allowing us to rigorously test and advance our car through data.

Our team is entirely independently funded and relies on sponsorship from companies and groups to function and fund our team’s development. We are very appreciative of our current sponsors. We are always looking for new sponsors, and there are many ways to support our team:


Parts: Your top-of-the-line parts will contribute to our student-designed race car. Help us get an edge on the competition.

Cash: Your cash contribution will help us purchase the tools and parts we need to design and build a competitive vehicle. You make this possible for us!

Mentorship: Your experience and advice will help guide the team to success. Design reviews with professionals are essential learning experiences for our s.

Services: Your company has production capabilities that our team doesn’t. Help us make innovative parts we can’t make in-house.


As a thank you for your support, our team offers various levels of benefits to our sponsors such as recruitment and features in team marketing. Find more details in our sponsorship package below. If you have any questions, use the Contact Form to reach out to us!
