FSAE/FH 2017 Spring Workshop

[Michael Royce]

The SAE Detroit Section will be hosting their 2017 Spring Workshop on Saturday, February 18th at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Michigan.

This Spring Workshop is designed to complement last fall's workshop, and help Formula SAE® and Formula Hybrid teams with their vehicle development and with the events at the competitions.

Formula Hybrid and FSAE® Electric teams are especially encouraged to bring their cars, and the paperwork that is required for Technical Inspection, as these cars will be used in an afternoon break-out session on Getting through Electrical Technical Inspection. Other teams are also encouraged to bring vehicles to discuss challenges and share ideas.

What Will Be Covered?

Competition overview
The Design, Cost & Presentation Events
Getting through Mechanical & Electrical Tech Inspections
Test Planning & Data Acquisition
Engine Calibration
Chassis & Suspension Development
Driving Techniques

A quick update.

We have had to cancel the presentations on Test Planning and Data Acquisition as our planned speaker cannot make it.

However, we still have a full program, which will include a session on Dampers from Rob Schermerhorn of Delta Vee Motorsports, LLC, a Bilstein distributor and racer himself.

Andy Vrenko of Ford Performance (formerly Ford Racing), a Design Judge and Akron FSAE alum., will cover the Design Event and Chassis and Suspension Development.

Most of the other speakers are recent FAE alumni. So they have an up-to-date perspective.
