The Formula SAE Competition engages engineering students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small formula-style racing cars. Car frames and engines are restricted so that the knowledge, creativity and imagination of the students are challenged. Each car must have high performance acceleration, braking and handling qualities and be low in cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. Last year s Big Green Team finished 12 th place overall in a field of 108 teams from colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Japan and the United Kingdom. Dartmouth also placed 2 nd for its engine management system, which included the intake manifold, fuel injection and electronics.
