Globerunner513 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm currently majoring in aviation at the University of North Dakota. They have a great training environment and program all together, but if I were to do it over, I would have gone the engineering route. So I am extremely excited to have secured a driving spot on this year's Formula SAE team. The car seems to be coming together pretty well. Built around a Honda CBR-600 engine/trans. Cirrus aircraft in town are working on custom molding a carbon fiber body. Some things yet to be sorted out, but it should be a great experience working with these guys. We will be at the Lincoln, NE competition in June. I know that several of the members here have worked extensively on these projects. Lets hear about some of your experiences and your cars!

BluDestiny Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Are you a pilot? I'm doing Electrical Engineering at Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach.You should have come here, especially if you want to pay an arm and a leg lol. Anyway enough of my shameless plug. We used to have an SAE program, but after my freshman year it switched to a formula/hybrid. That didn't really matter though since I was working on designing the suspension. We used a kawasaki z6 motor I believe. We had our own fiberglassing area and could make small fiberglass parts with. Man I wish I could use that machinery for my car.
