About Us

SAE International's Collegiate Design Series (CDS) competitions take students beyond textbook theory by enabling them to design, build, and test the performance of a real vehicle and then compete with other students from around the globe in exciting and intense competitions. All CDS competitions prepare undergraduate and graduate engineering students in a variety of disciplines for future employment in mobility-related industries by challenging them with a hands-on, team engineering experience that also requires budgeting, communication, project management, and resource management skills. Students also gain valuable exposure with recruiters from leading companies in the mobility industry to help land their first engineering job after graduation. All majors are welcome! There are plenty of opportunities on TigerRacing to branch out to other fields such as business, finance, graphic design, marketing, and social work. In terms of engineering, you can see chances to improve your capabilities in manufacturing, 3D design, testing and validation, and communication.
