I.A.E.T racing team : group of chosen students entering formula student competition . our goal is to design , manufacture and assembly a fully functional and competitive Formula Student car. To reach this goal we will need to use our knowledge, education and innovation to design and build the best possible Formula student car available and to come up with innovative solutions to solve design, man
ufacturing and managerial problems faced along the way. the Team is divided into the following sections:
1- Technical departments : whose goal is to solve the technical design and manufacturing problems faced in each sector within the car and of which will have a significant impact on the car's performance and capabilities. These departments should each produce a fully functional system to be assembled together to form the full vehicle. (Headed by our Technical Director Karim Tarek Abd EL hamid)
These departments are:
1- Engine and drive line team:
Engine: The heart of the car. Design,select,tune the engine to improve performance of the whole car
Drive line: system designed to transmit the power of the engine to various parts of the car.
2- suspensions and steering team
Suspension: System which is very critical in racing cars due to high speed cornering, contributes heavily to braking and steering which also ensures we have the best handling car
Steering: controlling the direction of the racing car at high speeds is a very asking job.
3- Brakes: a system which is designed to decelerate the car after reaching high speeds.
4- Electronics: converting all the data to visible information by both driver and team
5- chassis and aerodynamics:
Chassis: designing a whole body to withstand the forces,acceleration,masses of different components is a very testing task
Aerodynamics: Overcoming air resistance is paramount any team. also taking into consideration down force which helps to keep the tires firmly attached to the pavement during acceleration, deceleration, and turning. Finding the winning balance between these factors is a great deal of what separates good teams from the rest of the field.
2- Managerial Departments: whose goal is to make sure that this project becomes a reality. these departments are responsible for vital tasks such as project management, fund raising, sponsors coordination, manufacturing and workshop allocation. members within these departments will learn how to be in control of such an important project and will get a real life experience on how to solve managerial problems which face companies and organizations on daily basis. These departments are:
1- Marketing & Public relations: planning and implementing a full scale marketing strategy to ensure everyone who is interested in the field becomes aware of the project. the cornerstone to attracting sponsorship and informing public.
2- Fund raising: Dealing with potential sponsors is a daunting task but very rewarding. you actually are dealing with future employers or competitors in the field. there is no car without the ability to find resources to build it. Finance & accounting: ensures that resources are available all the time, prepare the cost report which is very essential in this competition. Each of the managerial and technical teams are vital to success of the project and without any of them this project cannot be completed effectively since every department has a critical role to play within this project.
