Description

Formula Student is a UK, national engineering competition in which universities design and build a race car. This was introduced to our students as an extracurricula activity, to give them both practical experience and experience of all the elements of running a business. The students have to consider not only the engineering aspects of designing and manufacturing the car but the business aspects of working to a budget, working to deadlines, working to standards, team work, sponsorship, marketing, branding, safety, and much more. The competition judges the team on their business plan as well as the performance of the car. The experience of taking part in Formula Student reinforces the academic lessons and gives a context to the studies. This resource was originally designed as a pop-up banner for the University of South Wales Learning & Teaching Conference, June 2016. The academic contact for further information is Dr Rae Gordon (http://staff.southwales.ac.uk/users/724-rgordon).
