WWU Racing
WWU Racing is an engineering team that competes in the Formula SAE Collegiate Design Series where students design, manufacture, and test an open-wheel formula-style racecar. Every academic year, WWU Racing’s goal is to use acquired data and knowledge from prior years to perfect the current year’s car. The car is designed for the non-professional weekend autocross racer, which requires solid design, construction, and high performance all at low cost. Through this process, students learn engineering design, project management, business mindset and skills in a challenging, professional environment. Western Washington University competes against an international field of 80+ teams at the FSAE West competition in Fontana, California.
WWU Racing Car
Engineers look to build the most cohesive car possible by exercising sound design methodology and implementation. At competition, our car is reviewed by a panel of industry professionals and the team must justify all design decisions. The business team administers all tasks that the team needs to sustain itself: budgeting, purchasing, marketing, sponsorship. Additionally, the system organizes the cost report and business presentation for competition purposes.
Students participating in the Formula SAE Collegiate Design series with our team gain experience which makes them highly prepared for any industry of interest. The product of WWU Racing is the students being enriched through professional experience, with a racecar as a portfolio to display their efforts, development, and learning. WWU Racing strives to make the best product possible: the students of the team.
