Accelerating Engineers to the Top

Members of the 换妻社区 Formula Racing team pose with one of their cars at a 2018 competition. 换妻社区 Formula Racing is a co-curricular group of students with majors ranging from engineering to business to religion. The team acts as a small company built around race car manufacturing, responsible for designing, fabricating and testing a prototype for competition at the international Formula SAE events. They also must develop a business plan for how to market their vehicle, procure funds for its production and demonstrate how to turn a prototype into a commercially viable vehicle.
