FAMU/FSU SAE Car Show

The FAMU/FSU Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is a joint chapter between Florida A&M 
University and Florida State University that allows to students who have an interest in automobiles to put what they are learning into practice. SAE is an amazing organization in that it is one of the few where you actually go about designing and building things similar to how you would at a company. There are several competitions we can chose from, and in the past it has usually been the Baja competition (off-road) and the Formula competition (Formula 1-like). In order to compete in these competitions, we have to design a vehicle frame, suspension and component layouts to meet the specifications provided. We then are required to do structural analysis and then actually build the car, which will serve as a prototype for a pretend company, who will rank us based on design, ease of production, and performance. This year we will be competing in Rochester, NY and we are trying to raise money to get there, finish buying the rest of our parts for this year and start raising money for a head start next year. We appreciate your support in advance!
