Imagine actually having funding, wouldn't that be nice
and being German
Wow! A dedicated work space, and not just some corner of the storage area? Man, y'all are living large.
Exactly!! We indian teams are working in an old unused and unmaintained room lmao.
@@adityabilgundi true plus they have a lot of sponsers
Fyi your grades will be shit, but youll probably be more of an engineer that half the A students
thats what we all tell ourselves right hahaha
@@abeecee having graduated, that's what the people hiring tell us
@@chrisdonnell7200 what do you mean?
Wait, Formula Student Engineers have a life? No one told me that when I joined my team -.- Great video tho;)
Jack OE it is kinda a dutch thing
@@TK7-VB I'm in formula student team for Wolverhampton and as we're quite a small team, a fair amount of time! But I can work throughout the week and have weekends off easily!
@@LethalHER0 I realise this is 1 year old and you may not reply but what do you do in that place of work and what do the others do like the race engineers (what I would like to become) and have any of your friends/co-workers gone to work in places like f1 f2 or any similar work place?
@@MarbleYarment Its a student-led society within the university, although its a separate thing. Its funded by the school but if you are in an industrial city like these guys, you can get really good money from sponsors, if you find some. Only students are allowed to join and create (drive) the cars, nobody can do it for them. There is an annual race, or multiple races - depends on the involvment of the team, which is a combination of static and dynamic tests, but no head to head racing. Google FSAE for more
@@MarbleYarment And yes, ''quite a lot'' of ppl go on to work for a racing team. Sometimes even F1. I reckon theres a good chunk of ppl in the f1 teams who have background in FSAE
my school was competing at this one day head of the student engineers calls me and sais I heard you were a driver in your youth. I competed in various lower formulas like f4 formula renault. I helped them a lot of the subjects which I did not know if I could do. they won in 2 of the categories and I shared the award with them is project is an amazing thing an also a rollercoaster.
I love to see so much support for the team. At my college, it has been a nightmare to get these teams going and maintained as they are 100% student lead and executed with too little help from the University and faculty. It has been great to work on these projects; however, FSAE is really exciting, and I can't wait to potentially compete against one of the teams I see in many of the FSAE videos I see.
5 seconds in and I know you are dutch.
No shit look at the channels name
Wessel200 Like you expect everyone in the world knows Eindhoven... nor even see the video pop up in recommended, I won't check thr channels name.
I was wondering how tf you guys have so much funding and workspace, and then I remembered: you’re a European team 😂
Believe me it’s not like that for every european team
@@sahmirlareum2718 True, but as a rule of thumb I'd say that the funding and other support (e.g. technical partnerships) Formula teams here in Europe receive tends to be greater than in the US. At least based on my experience in Germany & The Netherlands and having spoken with fellow FS students in the US
@@benholz9280 its only germany and benelux, all other european teams have the smae shitty conditions than the rest of the world
@@ericvauwee4923 Because everything is based on FSG. They're consistently killing combustion teams because they're drying up funding for them
@@Crusher29 as somebody working in a combustion team I feel wahr you say so much :'((
I wish I had a time machine to go back in time to study something like this. I grew interested in cars once after I finished college.
its good to see the no matter the engineering school chosen, the spirit of engineering is lost in the classroom and in the uber-competitive fsae teams. good luck and try to enjoy yourself
This was so well put together holy shit nice one man!
Only those experienced of being in a sae team may understand this video.
Can you give me some advise or sometime to go to these kind of universities
bro is living my dream
What is the laptop on which u r working ?
Nice, but what happens on day 2? ;-)
I love this from japan
bro he is living my dream
Great Video ! We like it =D
how to do internship at f1 team
What school is this?
Well I'm going to study that now
Bro in which collage do you study
Didnt know this was a thing
It was awesome
Does anyone know the computer program he is using to examine the model?
siemens nx
I have myself the opportunity to be a member of a formula student team, do you recommend it? Or its just too much work + finishing the engineering degree?
always worth it if your team is good and well organized
NextKaretus It's a metric shitton of work. Be prepared to not have much free time at all anymore, but it's good fun and rewarding when you see the finished thing
Arthik Alexander Hmmm it has managed someone to finish third in budgat calification 2n in efficiency or something like this but imo its not good organized
Jonas Bögemann i've already given up on that dream xdd
Cool video bro but what about cleaning up your room?
How can I become a mechanical engineer in Formula 1. Please ❤
Cool! : D
guys hold up, im in last year of high school and going to uni next year and want to take part in formula student as well, like will there be classes missed or stuff like that?!
Depends on how much you want to spend and which position you are going for. If you work as a support without a part responsibility or else, you could easily study without missing classes (~10-20h a week). If you on the other hand want to take a position with responsibility you’ll spend more time. There is basically no limit set, besides the one depending on your health. In some European teams it’s common for some Teammembers to spend ~80h a week, especially before important project deadlines.
@@sully6114 ohh alright, thank you very much, but what about if we do miss classes, do the uni still let you take exams because i heard somewhere that a student missed two classes (for a different reason) and the uni didnt let them take exams. kinda worried about that, rest is fine.
@@Shelovescharles This also depends on the university you are planning to go. I think in the USA most of the Uni’s have an attendance policy. Another reason for european teams being way ahead of the americans ones is the fact, that we don’t need to pay that much money to study, nor do we have massive amounts of student loans. That’s why students in europe have way more freedom to take time off Uni. In my Uni for example you need to get at least some credit points in 4 semesters to avoid being kicked. That means you could easily do 2 years of formula student without really worrying about your studying.
@@sully6114 ahh alright, thank you very much, im applying to warsaw uni of tech (poland) so this stuff would help me out, thanks again
My MAN!!!!
Can a master student at TU eindhoven (automotive technology) join this team?
go ask them
1:13 that sounds sooooooo beautiful ;)
I want to that in the politecnico di tornino, that is my dream carrer
Old Supercars Lover is that school good?
One of the best in Italy
How to be a formula engineering student
What most of design software for car you use bro, solidwork or inventor, please let me know, i'm from Vietnam anh i am study about car
in my FSAE team we use Solidworks , Fusion 360 its another great option
Tip for future videos like these: don't make the music so blaring and in your face. Great video regarldess of the music but i would've enjoyed it a lot more if the music was subtler. Also maybe make it longer, like about 10 mins would be ideal
European student formula is on another level 🤯
Atm im 14 still doing my normal college life, although i have the opportunity to do this in my future... ( it will need a lot effort to make sure it's possible, but I'm confident that I can do it. )
Is it recommended to take this chance?
Yes little buddy, go for it, it's gonna be worth in the future
Haha yeah that is what it looks like in germany, must be really nice working there.
this is not germany......
Then max verstappen crashes the car...
What education do I need for this?
It's a student project, so you need to go to a college with a team
Analysis software name?
Looked like Solidworks. But use what you're comfortable with, they all work and it's way easier to onboard students with the stuff they use in classes.
Any recommendations on trying to start a formula student team?
Just do it. Schedule meeting, make fliers, build shit first car, get your ass handed to you by design judges, make better next year, win!
@@izeawalker Noone could have explained that better!
@@nicomarino96 That apocalypse is just more frequent, more out of the world. Boi you get problems from where you should get solutions. One hell of an experience.
@@izeawalker i am currently living by these wise words. xD
As a mechanical engineer I have to admit. The FS team we had were some of the biggest cucks in the class
When I was in school I thought the stuff the SAE people were doing looked cool, till i went to one of their meeting. Those people looked like they got no sleep and were talking about all the stuff they had to do. I wanted nothing to do with it at that point.
But how do I become a formula student driver?
I also need to know that.
be fast and attend a university with a racing team
Timo Rohloff fair enough 😂
You have to be part of the team. Teams usually go to karting tracks where they set lap times, the fastest members usually become the drivers.
@@RastaWayne-di4sj We have a team which has won one endurace (in FS Michigan, 3rd overall, beating Stuttgart, Graz and Münich) and placed in other top 10 overall positions. All our drivers are actual students getting their degrees and we are not even a big uni. I think this is way more fair than for example the way CAT racing has it, with the same pro driver for years and years.
Funding, tho...
How the fuck can I join this ? I live in Australia dream job is to be a mechanical engineer for a F1 team !
Move to Europe lol. Oz has its auto industry I'm sure, but Europe? Christ, most of the f1 teams are based on England as it is, as are most of the suppliers for parts.
Kieran McMahon We have formula SAE here which is pretty similar to this but nowhere near as advanced as this. I will probably join the team next year. I hope to move out to Europe once I graduate and hopefully get into F1 😁
His life only lasted a bit more than a minute 😰😰
B
Could have been a bit better
interesting video spoilt by unbearable music
Neil Williams People whine about anything these days eh
You sound like my grandpa.
Get used to it. Nothing stays the same.
PheenX 44 people agree with me: 2 don't
You wouldn't be saying that if UA-cam showed dislikes on comments.
ok
A printed... agenda...
yeah I was suprised too like in our meetings we have no paper
Was more common 4 years ago, pre-covid....
Ahahaha so funny! >U
Thought it was for students. Not engineers
... students who are in university and who are going to get an engineering degree soon
I doubt that all formula Student Participants live in their own shit on a dump.
not all but most
eindhoven never won shit haha step it up
Wait WHAT IS EINDHOVEN IS THAT DUTCH OR SOMETHING
Yes it is
I didn’t see you one time thanking God or praying
