Benefits of Sponsorship
Educational Benefits
- The Formula SAE project facilitates a truly unique educational opportunity in that it exposes students to the development of a complex machine while teaching them the skills required to function effectively in an engineering team.
- Apart from its engineering and design challenges, the Formula SAE car provides the students with invaluable manufacturing experience.
- This year, approximately thirty senior students have chosen to undertake their fourth year engineering project on the Formula SAE car.
- An additional fifteen students from earlier years of our engineering program are also expected to participate in the project to complement their in-class training on the application of engineering and manufacturing principles.
