CoolDrive Supports Team Swinburne Formula SAE
12 Dec, 2014
CoolDrive are once again proud to be supporting Swinburne University's entry into the 2014 Formula SAE competition.
Formula SAE-A is an exciting international education program where university students design, build and compete in small open-wheeled vehicles. Formula SAE graduates worldwide are considered to be among the most work-ready graduates emerging from the university system.
In delivering a fully functioning vehicle, the student teams undertake a full, real-world product development project. They design, build and test their vehicles, but they also must also attend to the non-technical aspects of a project such as fund-raising, marketing and managing a team of people. Each team effectively works as a small start-up business, and it is this experience that makes Formula SAE graduates stand apart from their peers.
The teams are scored based on a number of different criteria. Below are the points allocations for the 2014 Formula SAE-A Event.
