Blood, Sweat, Tears and SolidWorks Gets University of Houston SAE Team to Formula Hybrid

It has been a long, hard journey for the University of Houston SAE Formula Hybrid team. With blood, sweat, tears and SoldiWorks, engineering students, Bradlee Henderson, Dixon Valbuena, Jaime Gonzalez reached their goal to participate in Formula Hybrid 2014 and have one of the best experiences they could image.

The Formula Hybrid Competition is an interdisciplinary design and engineering challenge for undergraduate and graduate students.

Teams design and build a formula-style electric or plug-in hybrid racecar and compete in a series of static and dynamic event.

Formula Hybrid emphasizes drive train innovation and fuel efficiency in high-performance applications.

The best ‘thank you’ was to their families and friends that supported them through the arduous process.

Thank you University of Houston SAE Formula Hybrid team for sharing your story. To compete with only three team members at a Formula Event is quite an accomplishment.
