They came looking for me simply because I was chief engineer on Missouri S&T’s highly-ranked FSAE team. During a phone call with Tesla executives I was given an immediate offer based solely on my FSAE knowledge and experience, and just two days after completing my last FSAE race I was in Los Angeles ready to start an exciting career.” “I am part of a small group of highly specialized engineers comprising the Vehicle Engi- neering and Design team. My work at Tesla highly parallels the Formula SAE experience at Missouri S&T. Quick, informed decision making, high-level knowledge of every facet of the vehicle, the ability to learn and apply new things very quickly, and extensive knowl- edge and reliance upon computer-aided design software are all part of my daily tasks.” “I work with former Formula 1, IndyCar, LeMans, and other race-industry engineers and even solar car veterans. There are at least five former FSAE chief engineers working at Tesla, attesting to the value of such a program. The long hours and fast-paced environment are nothing new to a Formula SAE graduate, and some of my Detroit-honed coworkers were very impressed with my ability to wear so many hats. Few of them had ever seen someone who could both TIG weld and run a finite element structural analysis!” “My S&T design team experience, often hard, tiring times mixed with the good, has really paid off. I often think about it when I pull up to my apartment each night, located just across the street from the sandy shores of Hermosa Beach, CA.

  • Challenges Faced by the Undergraduate Solar Car Team at Middle Tennessee State University
    Session 3248Ã Challenges Faced by the Undergraduate Solar Car Team at Middle Tennessee State University B. S. Sridhara Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Abstract Our solar car team at MTSU comprises mainly of Engineering Technology students. The Solaraider III (MTSU’s third solar car) is a 19-ft-long, 6-ft-wide and 4-ft-high vehicle. The project provided many challenges to the team in several areas including design and analysis, fabrication, assembly and testing. electricity and electronics, and fund raising. Faculty advisors for the solar car team were faced with difficult tasks such as recruitment and retention of students, curriculum integration of the project, and fund raising. We built the Solaraider II in 1997 and participated in the Sunrayce 97 qualifier in Indianapolis. Our car did not pass the braking test because it weighed 1250 lb and the braking system was not adequate. The overweight of the solar car was mainly because of the fiberglass body, array and nose. The Solaraider III team was faced with the task of reducing the weight, installing new brakes and reducing the friction at all joints. Unlike many big schools, we do not have resources to build the car using carbon fiber and titanium. However, we have several industry sponsors whose facilities and service we utilized to make necessary changes. We fabricated the frame for the array using aluminum tubing. The frame was covered with thin, perforated aluminum sheet clad with aircraft-grade Dacron. In this process, we worked with the faculty and students from the aerospace department. We mounted the solar panels on the 91-square-foot array and rewired them.

  • On Perhaps the Sunniest Route of a Rainy, Cloudy Sunrayce 99, UMR
    On perhaps the sunniest route of a rainy, cloudy Sunrayce 99, UMR student Nathan Rues drove the solar-powered car he helped design and build across the finish line in fine fashion. Practically blazing at speeds of more than 40 mph on that last leg of the 10-day solar car race, UMR's Solar Miner II slowed down a bit as it crossed the finish line, where Robert Mitchell, dean of UMR's School of Engineering, waved the checkered flag. "It feels great," exclaimed Rues after parking the solar-powered car. "This is the national championship of engineering to us. " UMR is the national champion and will be for 2 years! The UMR Solar Car Team won the grueling 1 0-day, 1,300-mile Sunrayce 99- a trip from Washington, D.C., to the Epcot Center in Orlando, Fla.- with a total time of 56 hours, 16 minutes and 44 seconds. That was 47 minutes over irs primary rival for most of the race, Queen's University of Kingston, of Ontario, Canada. The UMR and Queen's vehicles led the pack for most of the race - outpacing reams from the likes of the University of Michigan, Purdue, Penn State, Ohio State, California-Berkeley, Iowa State and in-state rival the University of Missouri-Columbia. The third place winner came in almost 8 hours later! Sponsored by General Motors, the U.S. Department of Energy and Electronic Data Systems, Sunrayce promotes many of the ideals UMR stands for: educational excellence, renewable energy, teamwork, the environment and hands-on learning.

  • Curriculum Integration of Engineering Technology Courses with the Solar Car Project at Middle Tennessee State University
    1 Session 3233 Curriculum Integration of Engineering Technology Courses with the Solar Car Project at Middle Tennessee State University B. S. Sridhara Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Abstract The US Department of Energy (DOE) organizes a solar car race called Sunrayce, once in every two years. The race is nationally sponsored by corporations such as GM and EDS. It is open for all colleges and universities in North America. As faculty advisor for the solar car team at MTSU, the author submitted a proposal in the Spring of 1996 and we were selected to compete in Sunrayce 97. We were one of the top 30 teams to receive an award of $2,000 from the Sunrayce headquarters. The team consisted of 15 members who designed, fabricated and tested our second solar car, the Solaraider II. In the process, they learned the principles and applications of solar energy, electricity, engineering mechanics, aerodynamcs, machine design, composite fabrication, team work and management, and fund raising. We received help from MTSU and local industries. Our team members worked with the engineers, managers, technicians and machinists at the sponsoring industries and built many parts of the car. We raised approximately $40,000 in cash and gift-in-kind working cooperatively with the Development office at MTSU. the author identified several problems related to the solar car with courses such as Basic CADD, Solid Modeling, Advanced CAD, Statics, Dynamics, Strength of Materials, Senior Problem in Engineering Technology, Energy and Environmental Safety, and Shop Problems. The students received credit in these courses for a term project, paper, final project or special problems, which contributed 25-75% towards the final grade.

  • Curriculum Integration of Some Engineering Technology Courses with Sunrayce 95
    Session 3547 Curriculum Integration of Some Engineering Technology Courses With Sunrayce 95 B. S. Sridhara Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) Abstract The US Department of Energy (DOE) organizes a solar car race called Sunrayce, once in every two years. This race is open for all colleges and universities in the North American continent. As faculty advisor for the undergraduate team here at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), I submitted a proposal in Spring, 1994 and we were selected as one of the 65 teams to compete in Sunrayce 95. The biggest challenge of this project was that the students had to design, fabricate and test the solar car raising money and materials mainly from outside sources. We received support from MTSU and the area industry, and built the solar car, the SOLARAIDER. Curriculum integration was one of the requirements of Sunrayce 95. I identified several problems from the SOLARAIDER project with our Basic, Intermediate and Advanced CADD (Computer- Aided Design/Drafting), Senior Project and Shop Problems courses. The solar car project gave our students a unique opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to practical situations, gain hands-on experience, and at the same time, get credit for their work. I also worked with the Journalism Department at MTSU, and Motlow State College in Tullahoma, Tennessee, and identified some aspects of the solar car project with their curriculum. The project was a great success and we are looking forward to doing more curriculum integration for Sunrayce 97. About MTSU Middle Tennessee State University is located in Murfreesboro, about 30 miles to the south of Nashville.
