Student Opportunities

The Department of Automotive Engineering is committed to supporting the success of our students. We offer academic advising via staff and numerous avenues for students to join groups and build community. Options include competing with teams from across the world in team-built off-road vehicles, collaborating with departments throughout the University to build and market Formula SAE cars, and being a part of a partner program to expose elementary students to automotive engineering through hands-on demonstrations.
