Formula SAE IC Advisor
Formula SAE (FSAE) is a Collegiate Design Series put on by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in which more than 500 teams of university students from around the world design, build, develop, and compete with small, formula-style race cars. In the multiple events held worldwide, there are classes for internal combustion, electric, and hybrid vehicles.
At Texas A&M, the internal combustion (IC) team serves as a senior design project that starts from scratch each year with a brand new team to design, build, and race a new car. This program satisfies the requirements for MEEN 401 & 402.
Dr. Weaver-Rosen served as the faculty advisor for the 2023-2024 IC team.
