FORMULA FOR SUCCESS

Prof Seah Kar Heng (Faculty of Engineering) has led the NUS FSAE (Formula Society of Automotive Engineers) team to global success. In May 2011, his team of race car protégés beat strong competition from 121 international teams to clinch the FSAE Chief Design Judge Award, the top Engineering Design Drawing prize at the FSAE@Michigan competition. The NUS FSAE also emerged the best Asian team, ranking 23^rd overall. Having scored points in every single event over four gruelling days of competition, it also earned a place of honour in the League of FSAE Recognition of Accomplishment. The FSAE competition is an annual event where university students design, build and race their own Formula-racing cars.
