TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY
Project Based Engineering Design: Build Your Own Race Car
Taylors University is one of Malaysia’s leading universities. Taylor’s
School of Engineering (SOE) adopts a holistic view of engineering
education, grooming engineers who are poised to become leaders ad
innovators of the industry. The heavy emphasis on project based
learning encourages students to discover new dimensions of learning beyond the classroom.
Building a racing car is an experience of a lifetime that is both challenging and rewarding. Participants of
this program will design and develop a prototype Formula-style race car starting from the initial concept
stage right through the planning and concept stages.
Malaysia is a rojak* of various cultures, races and languages, and it is the perfect destination for anyone
who wishes to experience diversity, true cross-cultural communication and to enhance their Asia
intelligence! Studying at Taylor’s University will give you a multiplicity of new experiences and hopefully
lasting friendships made over a short period of time.
*Rojak is a traditional Malaysian fruit and vegetable salad dish. The term “Rojak” is Malay for mixture,
and it is commonly used to describe the multi-ethnic, multicultural and multilingual nature of Malaysia!

Program Details
This is a two week program. Working in teams, students will conceive, design, implement and operate a
single-seater race car that is fully functional. Each student team designs, builds and tests a prototype
while taking into consideration the requirements of the engine, suspension, aerodynamics, weight and
safety. During the course of the programme, participants will also be trained to utilise computer aided
design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) for application in motorsports or engineering.
Participants will also have the opportunity to acquire practical skills of welding, fabricating and
assembling the car parts, which includes the body panel, steering wheel, dashboard and seat. This
programme, in a nutshell, will provide an avenue for participants to solve engineering challenges in a fun
and interactive environment whilst increasing their exposure to soft skills such as project management,
team management and leadership.
By participating in this course, you will be able to:
Conceive ideas and concepts to build an award winning Formula-style race car
Design a race car utilising computer aided design and manufacturing programmes
Build and test a prototype race car that takes into consideration safety and sustainability
