We don’t see a lot of race cars at Bryant-Denny Stadium, but we did today. The number 15 race car is the work of Mechanical Engineering students, right here at The University of Alabama. These students are all part of the Crimson Racing Team. They designed and built the race car and will leave tomorrow for Michigan, where they will compete against 120 other teams from al around the world.
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.
