ROYAL OAK – Selin Arslan, an Assistant Professor at Lawrence Technological University, updates what’s happening with the LTU Blue Devil Motorsports teams, actually five teams that compete in SAE International competitions.
These competitions are an integral part of Lawrence Tech’s engineering curriculum, which has always stressed the importance of enriching “theory” with “practice.” Nearly 30 years ago, this belief prompted Lawrence Tech to become one of the first universities in the United States to participate in the SAE Collegiate Design competitions.
In these year-long projects open to all undergraduates, students work in teams similar to those they will encounter in industry. They research, design, build, and test their vehicles and aircraft, as well as raise funds and create marketing presentations. At the end of the academic year, they test their knowledge and skill against other student teams in regional and international competitions.
