Tulane engineering students build Formula-style race car as capstone project
A team of Tulane University School of Science and Engineering seniors is building a Formula-style race car from the ground up as part of a capstone project that will debut at the university’s Engineering Capstone Design Expo on April 23.
The student-built vehicle is designed to serve as the foundation for Tulane’s newly established Formula SAE program and for use by future competition teams. This project is the first time Formula SAE, an international student engineering design competition, has returned to Tulane since Hurricane Katrina.
Through the design and fabrication process, the students aim to produce a reliable, drivable car that demonstrates the university’s engineering capabilities while creating a framework for continued development in the years ahead.
