Hey guys,

I'm finally graduating this semester with my Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering.
For the last couple semesters I've been working on our Formula SAE race car at the University of New Mexico.
For anyone who doesn't know what FSAE is go here

SAE Collegiate Design Series: Formula SAE: About

We finished up our car last week for its unveiling, some pics are below. We will be testing the car until competition on June 15 in Fontana California. We are really excited about our car this year because its the first time we have
a full aero car with a Front Wing, Rear Wing, and Under tray(not pictured)


PS: Anyone looking to hire a fresh graduate Mechanical Engineer let me know :thumbsup:

4:00am..... the car finally on the ground

Awesome, wish I'd been able to participate in FSAE. FYI, my company is hiring a boatload of new grad engineers if you're interested in moving to Houston. Send me a PM if so.

Great looking project and congratulations on your graduation. Mechanical engineering should be a great field. I'm sure it was a lot of hard work for you. Not an easy major for sure. I wish you the very best.

Is that a Yamaha Genesis 80 FI I spy there?? haha

I am also graduating today with my bachelors of science in ME. The only reason I know about the engine is because my senior design project was developing a Turbo setup for that engine for our FSAE car.

Good luck at comp, your car looks great.
