About This Chapter
Panther Motorsports is a diverse group of passionate engineering students who represent the Florida International University chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). They strive to gain and maintain worldwide recognition from the automotive industry, as well as respect from their fellow engineering students, faculty, and sponsors. Additionally, the team intends to develop their program for future generations who want to learn how to build a race car, work in a team, and take on the challenge of balancing club involvement with their academic workload.
COLLEGIATE DESIGN SERIES TEAMS
Formula (Combustion)
We are Florida International University’s chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers; we participate in the Formula SAE competition providing students at our university with real-world engineering projects merging with industry initiatives. We provide students with educational tools and foundations to tackle projects head on. These students grow inside the team and eventually provide the same tools they were taught. Our goal is to give students from different socio-economic backgrounds in the Miami area engineering skill sets that they can use after graduation.
