About the team
About Bronco Racing
Bronco Racing is Santa Clara University’s student-led Formula SAE Electric team, based in Santa Clara, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Santa Clara University Formula SAE Electric
SCU students collaborate to design, manufacture, test, and prepare an electric formula-style race car. The project connects classroom fundamentals with the practical work of developing a complex vehicle as one multidisciplinary team.
What is Formula SAE?
Formula SAE is a collegiate engineering program in which student teams develop a small formula-style vehicle. The work extends beyond driving: teams must make and defend engineering decisions, manage a build program, communicate clearly, and prepare the vehicle for technical evaluation and dynamic events.
Bronco Racing participates through an electric vehicle program, bringing mechanical, electrical, software, manufacturing, and operations work into one shared project.
A student-led engineering organization
Manufacturing
The team turns designs into physical parts and assemblies while learning safe, repeatable shop practices.
Operations
Students also develop experience in planning, budgeting, sponsorship, logistics, media, and technical communication.
Learning in Santa Clara and Silicon Valley
The team’s location at Santa Clara University gives students a place to connect hands-on engineering education with the manufacturing, mobility, and technology communities around Silicon Valley.
