Who we are
Formula SAE is a collegiate competition in which students are challenged with designing, building, and racing an open wheeled, Formula-style vehicle.
The competition isn’t just about who has the fastest car; design, management, and marketability are all assessed as well. From streamlining design and manufacturing processes to cultivating leadership in project management and communication, students involved in UConn’s FSAE program learn to overcome the same challenges that are encountered by professional racing teams. Simply put, UConn Formula SAE is the best automotive experience a student could hope for, short of a full time position in the industry. Meeting Times: Tuesday/Thursday: 6:15 PM Saturday: 11:00 AM 71 Romano Rd, Depot D, Storrs, CT 06269 |
UConn FSAE gives students much more than an opportunity to build a race car. Our team provides the chance to engage in a complete engineering and design process. Team members learn not only how to build and fabricate, but also how to plan and manage budgets, comply with strict regulations, and market the team and the car. The skills learned at the UConn Formula SAE shop cannot be found in a classroom environment, yet are critical to professional success.
