These are the things that literally hold our car together!
Fuel keeps our car moving! We use the same fuel you put in your lawnmower or car. Also a special shout out to the seniors aka the class of 2019! The extra 19 cents will keep us going a little bit longer!
Our team uses data acquisition to capture and track a car's performance. This data is then used to build a better car next year!
Competitions are where we showcase all of our hard work! Competitions include both business and engineering presentations, along with our car competing in various dynamic events that culminate in a 4 hour long endurance race. Your help will continue to allow us to attend these events and showcase Northwestern Engineering.
Sheet Metal is used in numerous parts of our car. It is also used to train new members in machining. Your contribution will help us train 10 new members or finish a large sheet metal competent like our firewall.
Carbon Fiber is known for extreme lightness and strength; for that reason, it's a great material to use for our car! With each passing year, we're increasing the amount of carbon fiber we use, and this will ensure we can continue doing just that!
We use large bricks of aluminum to machine various components of our car, including our gearbox housing. The costs add up fast! This contribution will ensure we can build our pedals, hubs, uprights, and steering rack!
Our entire frame is built from certified steel tubing to ensure the car's safety. The frame is the building block of our entire car, and without it, we wouldn't exist. This contribution will ensure that we will have a frame and will be able to build a car!
