MAE 4250 - FSAE Automotive Design Project Fall, spring. 3-4 credits, variable.
Enrollment limited to: engineering juniors and seniors or permission of instructor. Three credits for team members, 4 for team leaders.
Staff.
Project course to research, design, build, develop, and compete with a Formula SAE car for intercollegiate competition. Students work in interdisciplinary teams using concurrent engineering and systems engineering principles applied to complex mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic systems.
Outcome 1: Students will have learned and be able to apply mathematical, engineering, and communication skills and tools. Be able to solve problems, and function in a professional environment. Be able to learn how to learn information not covered in formal courses one has taken.
Outcome 2: Be able to design vehicles that will win the Formula SAE competition. This requires an engineering systems view: consider the customers, requirements, functions, structure and implementation. To learn how to maximize the points the team will win in the competition: trading off cost, time, technology, training, etc.
Outcome 3: Developed an enjoyment of engineering and the team.
Outcome 4: Have created conditions for future teams to be able to win via learning how to utilize engineering research and knowledge engineering.
