Formula SAE is a competition that pits student teams from all over North America against each other, challenging them to build a racecar of their own design and construction. Students design, test, and construct their cars over the course of the school year, readying for competition.

The University of Manitoba Student Chapter of SAE International (UMSAE) is a non-profit student organization made up of 4 design teams, each of which designs a unique vehicle. The Aero Design, Baja, Formula Electric and Formula teams each provide post-secondary students with unique and exciting fast paced and hands on experiences, allowing them to develop design, manufacturing and team building skills amongst many others!
