Into the fast lane!
It just takes a minute…watch Technion students build and race the university’s first Formula race car.
Coming in first place worldwide out of all newcomer teams, 25 Technion students built and raced the Technion’s first Formula SAE car in Sept. 2013 in Italy. Congratulations to the team!
Technion Formula SAE took students out of the classroom and into the fast lane to apply textbook theories,as well as gaining real-world experience in Prof. Reuven Katz’s “New Product Design” course in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The course instructor is Dr. Hagay Bamberger of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd.
The 25 member team was co-sponsored by the Grand Technion Energy Program (GTEP). GTEP supports projects in outreach and general education as an integral part of its global mission to advance research and education in fields related to energy. Individual faculty, students and GTEP itself is involved in projects to promote and enhance energy awareness at Technion, throughout Israel and across the world.
For over 30 years, The Society of Automotive Engineering, SAE, has been organizing events and contests for engineering students. The most prestigious competition of them all is Formula Student. Over 250 student teams from around the world research, design and manufacture a genuine Formula car,
