Egypt\u2019s Masoura University<\/a> Formula Student racing team, under the direction of faculty mentor,\u00a0Dr Mohammed Awad<\/strong>, use their engineering skills both in and out of the classroom to compete on a world-wide stage.<\/p>\n In their senior capstone design project, students not only analyzed their vehicle\u2019s engine, with SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, \u00a0but also learned from these CFD results to improve design through iterations and to successfully compete as a Formula Student racing team.<\/p>\n Mansoura Formula Student racing team was founded in 2013 with a goal to compete in a Formula Student competition by 2016 \u2013 a goal that they achieved this year. Engineering students from Mansoura competed at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, \u00a0Formula Student UK<\/a>, collegiate event, on a high performance stage with some of the best student Formula teams in the world.<\/p>\n As a young team, they divided into 6 sub-groups, with a goal to build an efficient, low cost, and high performance FSAE car with given available resources.<\/p>\n Technically, the team focused on reducing weight and applying aerodynamics. They made trade-off decisions between content and cost depending on performance. Through the design process, Mansoura Formula Student racing team always seeks to maximize the performance of each sub-system.<\/p>\n Here are the statistics about the Mansoura:<\/p>\n Recently honored by his efforts with new Formula Student team leader,\u00a0Mohammed Sharaf.\u00a0<\/strong>we\u00a0thank Dr Awad, the faculty of engineering, Mansoura University, and his Formula Student team for sharing with the SOLIDWORKS community,\u00a0 Marie<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Egypt\u2019s Masoura University Formula Student racing team, under the direction of faculty mentor,\u00a0Dr Mohammed Awad, use their engineering skills both in and out of the classroom to compete on a world-wide stage.
