Abstract
Major student design competitions like Formula SAE, Mini Baja and American Solar Challenge provide a valuable learning experience. These competitions develop skills and experience in many important areas, some of which are not well developed in the formal curriculum. This paper examines several teams at the University of Western Ontario including: Formula SAE, Mini Baja, SAE Aero, and Sunstang solar car. The focus is on common elements including team structure and management, budgets and resources, design processes, use of CAD/CAM/CAE tools, design communication, and prototype testing.
