I'd be interested in what you come up with.

I don't have the SAE paper handy right now, but Dave Holloway at the University of Maryland built a similar on-road tire testing rig for a NHTSA study he did about twenty years ago. I think its real...
I leave something like this almost every year, and so will do so again. While I was almost needed at Mid-Ohio again this year, it turns out that I will be at FSAE judging. So will a number of other...

At least right now it looks like I'll be able to serve as a design judge at FSAE Detroit again this year. (I'm not sure about FSAE - West) I am in the process of reviewing the design reviews.

When I was a faculty advisor, I successfully got my students up to 13 quarter credits for working on SAE student design projects:

1. I haven't seen anything more than the photos posted, but I would agree that it is inappropriate for someone to say that...
When I speak to student groups, I usually recommend that they have a look at how things are done in industry. All the good ideas aren't necessarily dropped into the product at once. There is no...
Eric (Z),
My comments weren't directed at the specific case of that car, but rather at the subject in general. The original thread was re: ideas for innovation. As I said, there is nothing wrong...
It's been awhile since I've visited and commented here. A few months ago I sent the following to Charles at RACECAR ENGINEERING. It wasn't published, so I've decided to share it here as a way to...
Mnay years ago we discussed having an overall champion in mini-baja, and rejected the idea. These are engineering design competitions and not races per, se.
I don't know what the current thinking...
MSOE had Miller Brewing as its major sponsor in 1985 and 1986 with no trouble.
Folks, I've been involved with these competitions in one way or the other for 27 years now. I can tell you that the subject of scheduling around finals comes up every year. No matter what the dates,...
If I'm able to judge again next year, I'll eagerly await the data - and as importantly, discussion of what the individual teams have done with it!
