Formula Electric Team

What is Formula SAE® Electric?

Formula SAE® Electric is a newer international collegiate competition that reflects the changing landscape of future automotive design towards the electrification of automobile drivetrains.

It gives student the task of developing a fully-electric-only, high-performance racing vehicle within the Formula SAE® competition.

University teams are tasked with the conceptualization, design, fabrication, assembly and testing a vehicle powered solely by electrical motors and compete in static and dynamic events such as design, presentation, cost, acceleration, skidpad, autocross, endurance, and efficiency that are standard components of the longer-established Formula SAE® competition.

The benefits of Formula SAE® Electric are:

The Lawrence Tech Formula SAE® vehicle team is university supported, but gives students the opportunity each year to collaboratively organize, manage, and complete the entire design process from beginning to end for the creation of a high-performance all-electric racing vehicle.

Students are given the opportunity to learn about all of the critical engineering aspects of what goes into a producing a rapid-accelerating, nimble, high-speed electric race car.

The competitions give teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creativity and engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world.

Student have the full opportunity to service, support and drive their vehicle at competition.

At Lawrence Tech engineering students can use their work on Formula SAE® Electric to fulfill their senior capstone design project requirements.

Students design, fabricate, assemble, test, and race a formula racing style hybrid vehicle in a competition against other student engineering teams from around the world.
