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 Internal Combustion

Bruin Supermileage Internal Combustion drives to be the most fuel-efficient internal combustion vehicle made by a student team. Our team trains all members in CAD and FEA analysis to build projects like Electronic Fuel Injection. We race annually in the Shell Eco-marathon.
