Bruin Racing

Our Teams

Baja SAE

Bruin Racing Baja SAE is a student engineering organization which functions as a small manufacturing firm whose task is to design, fabricate, market, and race an off-road vehicle prototype that will be evaluated from a variety of manufacturing angles.

Formula SAE

Bruin Racing Formula SAE is a competition that challenges students across the globe to design, assemble, test, and race a prototype open-wheel vehicle.

SuperMileage Gas Vehicle

Bruin Racing SuperMileage Vehicle is a student engineering organization which designs and manufactures a vehicle to attain the highest possible fuel efficiency.

SuperMileage Electric Vehicle

Recently founded in Fall 2015, the Electric Vehicle (EV) is the latest subset of Bruin Racing and is the direct sister project of SuperMileage. The EV uses an SuperMileage chassis and participates in the Shell Eco-Marathon event alongside its gas-powered compatriot.

Education and Training

Bruin Racing trains all its members in the skills needed to succeed on the team and in industry beyond. New members are taught the basics of CAD and FEA in SolidWorks as well as manual machining. Specialized training is also offered for electrical engineering and composites work, while select members are taught CNC machining, CFD, Dynamics Simulation, and other advanced topics. Those interested in business operations are also taught the fundamentals of capital funding, accounting, procurement, and costing. These programs ensure we produce well-rounded graduates ready to contribute in an industry environment.

Events

Bruin Racing volunteers to promote STEM development in local communities. Through Toyota’s A World In Motion - Learn Twice initiative, we instruct local elementary school students in completion of an engineering project. We also serve as mentors with the FIRST Robotics team at Beverly Hills High School. Our organization promotes the professional development of our members, hosting a variety of corporate info sessions, career fairs, and employment skills workshops.
