The Formula SAE Project as Product Oriented Engineering Education (POEE) at KAIT

The Department of System Design Engineering of KAIT has focused on “Product Oriented Engineering Education (POEE)” in the student educational program since its establishment. An automobile is a good example for this subjective product due to its wide integration of the engineering and technologies. From this point of view, the KAIT became the first university participated in the Formula SAE® competition (FSAE) from Japan in 2000 and has been one of the leading universities in FSAE in Japan. Some of key design technologies applied on these FSAE cars from 2001(K01) to 2005(K05) are shown in this paper.
