Formula SAE is an international collegiate design competition that challenges students to con­ceive, design, fabricate and race a small formula-style race car. Over 250 teams from around the world compete in at least one of the eight com­petitions which are held in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Australia, and Japan. There are very few restrictions on the design of the car, allowing students to express their knowledge, creativity, and imagination. The cars are judged in both static and dynamic events, which evaluate them in categories such as handling, performance, braking, endurance, manufacturability, design decision making process, cost, and market strategy. In addition to competing in a world-class competition, dedi­cated young engineers gain valuable experience on the most relevant, team-oriented engineer­ing project available to students. UTSA’s interdisciplinary team includes mechanical engineers, graphic design artist, and MBAs.
