Join the UWashington Formula Motorsports team!

Hi EE students,

My name is Sheena Kapur and I am the administrative director for the UWashington Formula Motorsports team.  We are a group of students who come together to design, manufacture, test, and race a small formula-one style race car against competitors from around the world.  This past year was a particularly exciting year for us for a few reasons.  This was our first year building an electric race car, in addition to our combustion race car. Also, our 1st place finish at FSAE West with our combustion car, 2nd place finish at the same competition with our electric car, and 7th place finish at Formula Student Germany with our combustion car, which is considered to be the premier Formula Student competition, has gained us a world ranking of 6th overall.

Even though I am thrilled about these accomplishments, there is always room to improve.  We need the expertise of electrical engineering students to help us build a winning eCar and improve upon our cCar design.  We are hoping that we can utilize the knowledge EE students have in order to help us take the 1st place spot in FSAE West and Germany, with both of our cars.

This program gives you the chance to apply the knowledge that you have learned in the classroom to a real-world project, giving you hands-on experience that's also a lot of fun!  People who have completed our program have gotten jobs/internships from some really cool companies, such as SpaceX, Tesla, Intel, Microsoft, etc.  

If you'd like more information about our program, please feel free to email me at skapur@uw.edu or check out our website, http://www.uwashingtonfsae.com/.  And if you'd like to apply to the team, you can visit the same webpage and click the "Apply Now!" button on the homepage. 

Thanks for taking the time to read this email!
