2 Formula SAE Formula SAE is a series of international university competitions with the participation of hundreds of teams from all over the world. The goal of this project is to develop and build an openwheel race car and introduce students to practical engineering problems, team project management and work experience to complement their theoretical knowledge at university. During four days, each team's project goes through static and dynamic tests, such as: technical inspection, vehicle performance on the track, project presentation, total cost and marketing. All steps are distributed so that the best design and car are rewarded with the first place. 3 Our Results FSAE Brazil FSAE Lincoln (USA) 2017-05 th place 2016-14 th place 2015-08 th place 43 th place 2014-03 rd place 2013-10 th place 2012-02 nd place 26 th place 2011-08 th place 2010-14 th place
4 Our Team and History Granat prototype launch event at the Technology Centre (CT) UFSM, August 2017
Recognizing the need for a more practical curriculum experience, a group of 20 students from various undergraduate programs joined in 2010 to form the Formula UFSM Team. In just 6 months they built the first prototype, the BF-01. The team is composed by the adviser Mario Martins, ex-participant of the Brunel University (UK) team and ex-judge of the Formula SAE competition, and about 30 students. The Team is organized in a similar way to a company, with eight subsystems, each of which is responsible for a part of the prototype. Project management, planning and knowledge transfer are essential to the smooth running of the project and are some of the team values. 2010 BF01 2011 Tarpan 2012 Artax 2013 Huaso 2014 Pégaso 2015 Celeris 2015 Silver 2016 Apollo 2017 Granat
