The purpose of this IQP is to attain and attract new members of a variety of backgrounds for the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) Collegiate Design Competition, while demonstrating the importance of diverse skill sets from different majors as the transition to Formula Electric begins. The other purpose of this IQP is to connect with alumni who had previously been involved with the FSAE MQP. As a result, critical information about past teams successes and failures were gathered that will be vital to the prevention of recurring failures within the FSAE team. After speaking with them, we found a community of recent FSAE alumni that can be useful for design review and career opportunities for graduating students.
