Mechanical
The Mechanical Engineering sub-team designs and manufactures the entire mechanical system of the car including the suspension, steering, roll cage, and braking systems. They also account for the ballast and weight distribution when making all of their design decisions. They're also our "jacks-of-all-trades," balancing all the needs of the other sub-teams. EE needs a place to mount the battery? No problem - MechE's got that covered.
MechE is also responsible for force analysis on all structural components of the car, accounting for stresses and displacements. They also design to optimize our strength-vs-weight ratio.

The Electrical Engineering sub-team deals with everything with a current running through it. This includes the lithium battery, motor controller and motor, solar panels, main logic board programming, driver interface, car lights, and waterproof connections.
We also do heavy data analysis for the optimization of electrical power draws for maximum runtimes as well as weather analysis to determine charging points. This design cycle we have also developed Infotainment, a graphics program that integrates Apple Carplay into the car.

Aero/Composites
The Aerodynamics and Composites sub-team deals with all matters of composite materials and air-flow optimization of the vehicle. We use advanced software including Autodesk CFD, Solidworks, and ANSYS to design the most optimal vehicle. We validate these results with extensive wind tunnel testing done during IAP.
The Aero/Comp sub-team is also in charge of the lay-up process of our car, which includes designing the aero-shell for mold making, sourcing molds and materials, and planning the very complex full-body lay-up.
