Welcome to the official Facebook page of the University Of Colorado Denver Formula SAE team!
Formula SAE is an international student design competition organized by SAE International; a global association of more than 138,000 engineers and technical experts in the aero-space, automotive and commercial vehicle industries. The concept of the competition is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to build a competitive small Formula-style race car. Teams are judged by their design choices, cost effectiveness, business presentations, and the performance of their car. The car’s performance is judged based on acceleration, autocross, skid pad, and endurance/fuel efficiency races. Student teams spend time designing, manufacturing and testing a prototype based on a certain set of rules to ensure safety but to most importantly, help push the limits of engineering and technology. By being forced to come up with innovative ways to stay competitive while abiding by rule and budget constraints, students are able to apply their theoretical textbook knowledge to get real world results. Since its start in 1978, Formula SAE has evolved into one of the top engineering competitions in the world and it helps to promote careers/excellence in engineering, manufacturing, design, development, management, marketing and finance.
