Our team of more than 60 undergraduate and graduate students come from diverse backgrounds and studies across our McCormick School of Engineering as well as the broader Northwestern community.
The design and construction of our car is an aggressive practicum, allowing students to take their coursework into application and sharpen their skills. Our work routinely runs ahead of classes, encouraging freshmen to acquire knowledge of material covered in senior-level coursework, while offering upperclassmen the opportunity to mentor and engage team members.
These are some of the projects that we are most proud of:
- NFR Learn, a series of lessons and tools developed with Northwestern professors to teach embedded systems engineering.
- Our CAN Library, which powers the communication between all of our car's electrical systems.
- DAQ Telemetry 25, which power's NFR25's custom telemetry, featuring wireless data transmission over LoRa, SD card logging, and a custom configuration language.
- ECU25, our custom electronic control unit for NFR25, featuring regen braking, traction control, active aero, and many more features.
We are always looking for new members to join our team! If you are a Northwestern student, follow us on Instagram to stay up to date with our events and meetings.
