THE FAST AND THE STUDIOUS

By Associated Engineering Press

As most students saunter home for the day, the members of UA’s Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) team head to their workshop, motivated more than ever to overcome last year’s setbacks.

Formula SAE is a student-lead competition in which teams design, build and test formula style cars against other schools in the U.S. Each car is judged based on static events such as engineering design, cost analysis, and business presentation, as well as a set of dynamic events such as acceleration,skid pad test, and endurance.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
