FSAE is a lifestyle (don't exclude Baja =P). When I got into college I quickly realized that the majority of seniors I talked to had never done any engineering design whatsoever... I was rather confused. Then I found out that besides the rare aspiring individual, anyone who had actually designed something came from Baja (the FSAE team was in shambles when I arrived, didn't even know Tech had it). Knowing that TN Tech's Baja team was basically number one in the world, I then made it my goal to ensure that FSAE would be number one too. At the end of Spring 2012 we basically had 2 members: the current president and yours truly. Now we have 20 members and we are brand new back in FSAE. My grades suck, my parents are unhappy, and I've lost some scholarship, but I don't really care, bc this was my dream from the beginning. Worth every mistake, hardship, and angry phone call from Mom and Dad. They're growing into it though.![]()
