ERAU Motorsports
Students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University create a new open-wheel style Formula 1 car every year. It is designed and built by the ERAU Motorsports team. The design is a combined effort between the senior undergraduate mechanical engineering students for their senior design project, as well as other club team members. Our car is designed using CAD softwares, such as CATIA and SolidWorks. After the design is done and all analyses are conducted, the build can begin. Most of the manufacturing and fabrication work is done in house, however some of the more delicate parts are produced by outside manufacturers.
The mission behind the Formula SAE competition is to design, test, and build an open-wheel style Formula racecar marketed to the weekend racer. Competitors are assessed not only on performance, acceleration, durability, and efficiency, but also on marketability, production costs, and design.
Competitors in the SAE Formula competition hail from around the world and compete in one of the ten SAE Formula competitions around the world. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's SAE Formula team competes in Brooklyn, Michigan against 119 other teams.
The experiences gained through the Formula SAE competition have landed multiple Embry-Riddle alumni internships, co-ops, and full-time positions in some of the leaders in the aerospace and automotive industries. Team alumni are currently employed by Tesla Motors, SpaceX, Gulfstream, GM, and Roush Racing. Team alumni have also been accepted to some of the top engineering graduate schools in the country.
