who we are

Clemson Formula SAE (CUFSAE) is a student-run organization dedicated to designing, manufacturing, and competing with a formula-style race car. Our main focus is the enrichment of a Clemson education with hands-on and real-world experience. The involved logistical, engineering, and organizational challenges of this task offer every student, not just engineering majors, impactful experience that complements coursework. From engineering to marketing to financial planning to graphic design, CUFSAE has something to offer to everyone. We aim to provide students with the tools to learn relevant skills while exploring the possibilities of employment in the automotive industry.

Located at 162 Hugo Drive, we are just a short drive from the main Clemson campus. We work closely with several University departments, including the Mechanical Engineering Department, College of Engineering and Science, College of Business, Graphic Communications Department, and the Facilities Department in order to achieve our goals.
