1 - Reach out
Send an email or Discord message with your program, expected graduation year, and interests (electrical, mechanical, or business/operations).
Join CFE
Recruiting students for electrical, mechanical, and business tracks.
Email us or hop into Discord to introduce yourself. We prioritize members who want to build, document, and support the car—not just ask about driving.
How to apply
Simple onboarding
2 - Match with a lead
We pair you with a subsystem lead, share documentation, and outline current deliverables so you can contribute quickly.
3 - Start building
New members begin with manufacturing, testing, or documentation tasks before taking on design ownership.
Tracks
Where help is needed most
Electrical
Battery module assembly, LV harness layout, sensor integration, PCB fabrication, and wiring documentation.
Mechanical
Suspension hardware, steering & pedal box, cooling, composites, jig fabrication, and GD&T drawings.
Business & partnerships
Cost report, design presentation scripts, sponsor relationship management, charitable donation workflows, and logistics.
Driver questions?
Driver selection happens only after the car is validated. Please join the team to contribute to engineering, manufacturing, or operations first.
Weekly rhythm
What to expect
Shop nights
Multiple nights per week at 850 Fountain Street South for manufacturing, design reviews, and subsystem stand-ups.
Operations cadence
Leadership syncs, documentation deadlines, sponsor follow-ups, and Discord updates keep everyone aligned.
