Bike Builders

Many engineering students go through college without getting proper hands-on experience in the field. Therefore, we aim to give undergraduates the knowledge and experience to design, manufacture, and test their own bicycles. The club is applying knowledge from the classroom such as materials, mechanical stress, and CAD to a real-world industry application. Students who are currently participating often find direct correlations to the classroom when talking about manufacturing techniques. This is a unique opportunity for students to develop a holistic engineering approach by researching and implementing design and manufacturing processes.

For Winter 2024, project members will build miniature bicycle frames to build TIG welding and machining skills. The quarter will also be used to design and simulate their own frame design to be produced in Spring 2024.
