Abstract
This project is to explore the concepts of automobile design by designing a race car to compete in the Formula SAE competition. This project will consist of researching other university's designs, improving on these designs in the fields of propulsion and aerodynamics, building the newly designed car, testing the car, improving the car, and finally racing the car in the Formula Student competition against other universities from around the world. Being a university focused on aerodynamics our focus will be on improving the overall aerodynamics of the car to give us an advantage in the competition. We will do this by making the overall shape of the car as aerodynamic as we can using composites and other advanced building materials. This project also gives the students working on it hands on experience designing, building, testing, and modifying a large engineering system which will give them skills which will be used beyond graduation.
