We know that the road to innovation is not paved alone. The student-led Formula SAE team designs and builds speed machines powered by brains, grit and a whole lot of teamwork. It’s hands-on learning at full throttle.

Your gift to the Berkeley Engineering Fund supports students such as these as they invent and collaborate — both in and out of the classroom.
