Tim Drotar

Formula SAE TeamFormula SAE® is a series of both dynamic (driving) and static (non-driving) competitions focusing on student-built, high-performance, open-wheel, formula-style vehicles.

Choongbae Park

Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC) TeamIGVC is an annual robotics competition that challenges college teams to design and build autonomous ground vehicles.

Gaurav Singh

SAE Aero Design TeamThe SAE Aero Design competition gives students a real world design challenge that compress a typical aircraft development program into one calendar year. This competition requires participants to go through the systems engineering process by breaking down the entire design requirements of a flyable airplane into their specific needs and then to propose, design, fabricate, build and then test an airplane that meets those requirements.
