Event guide 2010 michigan - Michigan Turn Marshals

2010 Formula SAE ® Michigan
President’s Message
Dear Formula SAE Participants and Organizers:
Welcome to the Formula SAE competition at Michigan International
Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan.
Formula SAE is steeped in tradition and competition. Now more than 30
years old, Formula SAE provides the real-world challenges of systems
engineering, design and problem solving, along with the teaming
challenges of collaboration and cooperation. In short, Formula SAE, along
with all of the SAE Collegiate Design Series competitions, provides the
skills and experiences needed for a well-rounded engineering education.
In addition to learning, Formula SAE also provides a unique form of
competition. This week, collegiate engineering students from many
different nations will compete in a series of static and dynamic events
designed to challenge their engineering, problem-solving and teamwork
skills. The students will work hard and compete to win. Some will win first
place, others will not. But all will leave here a winner because they will be
better engineering students.
Good luck to all who are competing in this event. Also, I want to thank
everyone for their hard work, support, volunteerism and participation.
The experiences and the learning that you gain this weekend will last
throughout your lives.
Sincerely,
Dr. Andrew Brown Jr., P.E., FESD, NAE
2010 President
SAE International
