Overview
Welcome to the suspension team! Even a casual driver notices bumps in the road and how annoying they can be. From reducing the bumps to keeping all wheels on the ground we work hard to maximize the drivers effort. The tire selection and suspension system design are the first things each year so the team needs to move fast. Despite that we deal with many terms and concepts unfamiliar to many people. Below we have provided an intro course and resources that go beyond the intro course to help you succeed.
Intro Course
This course is an introduction to everything we do from terminology to simulations and manufacturing. In the course there will be learning but also quizzes to check your understanding. Please complete this as soon as possible and it should eliminate a fairly large learning curve.
