Students compete against other schools with vehicles they have designed, fabricated, and tested.
The Formula SAE competition consists of static and dynamic events judged by representatives from the automotive industry, automotive safety groups, and professional race car designers and race engineers. Dynamics events such as acceleration, braking, skid pad, fuel economy, autocross, and the 30 mile endurance event put to the test the fortitude of the students' designs. Static awards such as Best Overalll Design, Most Economic Design, and Best Prototype Fabrication judge the preparation skills and challenge the students to justify their designs to professional automotive engineers. Each successive event has attracted more specialty sponsers, who have contributed to establish awards for Most Recyclable Design, Safest Vehicle Design, Most Innovative Design , and Best Prototype Fabrication, among others. Companies such as DuPont, The Transportation Research Center, EDS, and Argonne National Laboratory sponseor events and awards.
