What is Formula Slug?
In Formula Slug, we pride ourselves on inclusivity, learning, and teamwork. We work together, designing and building a formula-style racing car. As a team, we maintain a high standard for engineering excellence and innovation. Our dedication to continuous learning, inclusive processes, and embracing challenges as opportunities for growth provides an environment where students can practice hands-on electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as manufacturing and business-related skills. Through collaboration and teamwork, we utilize our collective strengths to achieve our yearly design goals and drive towards a cleaner transportation future through hands-on engineering practice. Together, we strive to push the boundaries of automotive engineering and prepare the next generation of leaders in industry and research.
Brief History
Formula Slug got its start in 2015 when a small group of ambitious engineering students took the leap and made our first electric vehicle: FS-0. Since then, Formula Slug has come a long way. At the most recent FSAE competition, the club passed the mechanical technical inspection and nearly passed the most complex electrical systems inspection, both significant milestones compared to our previous vehicles. As we advance our now proven structural design model and electrical subsystems into more ambitious designs, we work towards a routine of year-on-year improvement.
