ASSU is the Stanford student group parent organization. They handle student elections and special fees, one of our bigger sources of funding. Each year students must vote whether or not a group gets funding. Solar car has tended to be a very popular student group, and we typically win a landslide victory at every election. Thanks to the generosity of the students at Stanford University, we will be receiving over $90,000 through this system this coming June. We hope to receive a similar amount next year as well. With this funding, however, there are strings attached. Thankfully, equipment and materials purchases make up the bulk of our expenditures, and are justifiable to both the ASSU Senate and SSE Banking employees.

We are excited to have CD Adapco as a new sponsor this cycle! They have generously provided us with STAR-CCM+ industry software to use in our aero design and modeling process. CD-adapco (Computational Dynamics-Analysis & Design Application Company Ltd) is a multinational computer software company that authors and distributes applications used for computer-aided engineering, best known for its computational fluid dynamics (CFD) products.

Pointwise is solving the top problem facing engineering analysts today: mesh generation for computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Pointwise's meshing software generates structured, unstructured, and hybrid meshes; interfaces with ANSYS FLUENT, STAR-CD, SU² and OpenFOAM as well as many neutral formats such as CGNS; runs on Windows (Intel and AMD), Linux (Intel and AMD), and Mac; and has a scripting language that can automate CFD meshing. Our software is known for its high quality grids and ease of use and for the expert technical support provided with it.

Stanford is recognized as one of the world’s leading universities, and our students have opportunities to participate in a remarkable range of activities. Through academic courses taught by renowned professors, research and public service opportunities, and an extraordinary breadth of extracurricular activities — Stanford University prepares students to take on the great challenges of the day and become the next generation of leaders. Our team is actually a Stanford Voluntary Student Organization, but we thought that our school still deserves its own posting on our website. Stanford provides our students with an amazing classroom foundation in engineering and entrepreneurism. On top of this we receive funding, workshop space, capital equipment, liability insurance, legal support, academic advice, and more from the amazing professors and other faculty at Stanford.

Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, Harry Elam: The Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (VPUE) serves as the primary conduit for faculty interested in furthering their interaction with undergraduates, developing innovative curriculum and pedagogy, and discovering ways in which working with undergraduates can enrich their own research agendas at Stanford. Many of the VPUE’s programs at Stanford such as the Bing Overseas Studies Program, Introsems, Structured Liberal Education, research grants, and and Stanford Introductory Seminars are the highlights of the Stanford undergraduate experience. The VPUE’s commitment to these fun and enriching student programs and groups like the Stanford Solar Car Project highlight Stanford’s dedication to helping students to achieve their intellectual ambitions as undergraduates. The Stanford Solar Car Project appreciates the VPUE’s support and we are excited to continue providing challenging and enriching hands on engineering and business management experiences for Stanford undergraduates.
