1.         Feature Presentation

Motorsports is generally what’s considered a “low volume” industry.  While “high volume”, or mass production, equals thousands of parts per day, motorsports may be as low as five parts per year and this presents tremendous challenges. With over 30 years of New Product Development experience, 15 of those in motorsports, Kelly will share her experiences and recommendations for project planning to help students with their SAE competition projects, as well as in their upcoming careers.

2.         Our Speakers

UMSAE is the local SAE student section at the University of Manitoba.  The student group is involved in the Aero, Formula, Baja and Formula Electric competitions.  The teams share shop space at the University of Manitoba and the development of the projects is continuing.
