What is FSAE?

Formula SAE is a student design competition organized by SAE International (formerly Society of Automotive Engineers). The first competition was started back in 1978 and was originally called the Mini Indy.The concept behind Formula SAE is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to develop a small Formula-style race car.

The prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item. The target marketing group for the race car is the non-professional weekend autocross racer. Each student team designs, builds and tests a prototype based on a series of rules whose purpose is both to ensure onsite event operations and promote clever problem solving.

FSAE Facebook Group: Drexel Formula SAE Information Resources and Tools

This group will serve to enhance awareness of various information resources available to participating Drexel students so that they can efficiently use them in their design of the prototype race car for this competition. You can post any material or books you need on the wall of this group. My Facebook ID is bhattjj@drexel.edu

You can get a quick overview of your subject-specific top 20 cited articles in the past 3, 4 or 5 years of publication using Scopus Topcited.  You can also find them displayed on Google maps taking the first author’s affiliation as the point of reference. You can find Top 20 cited articles in Engineering by selecting ‘Engineering’ from the ‘Subject’ menu from the left column.

A New Research guide on Technical Reports is now available from Engineering Research Guides section through ‘Research Guides by Subject‘.

A Technical Report documents the progress of research and development projects of various groups such as universities, laboratories, institutes and government agencies.

A number of Technical Reports from Drexel University’s Computer Science Department, the U.S. Department of Energy, and other U.S. Goverment Agencies are available from the section, Get Technical Reports.
