Outside of Formula SAE, Amalie enjoys hiking, exploring Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and spending time with family and friends.

Everett is a fourth-year Mechanical Engineering student currently in his fifth semester with Michigan Tech Formula SAE. As Chassis Director, he is responsible for organizing and overseeing all frame, suspension, steering, and brakes projects while ensuring each subsystem aligns with overall vehicle development objectives.

One of his favorite projects was designing and developing the F26 exhaust manifold, which provided an opportunity to contribute to a critical vehicle system and build hands-on engineering design experience.

His favorite Formula SAE memory was driving the car for the first time in September 2025, where experiencing the results of the team’s hard work firsthand was both exciting and rewarding.

Outside of Formula SAE, he enjoys playing guitar, photography, riding motorcycles, working on his project car, and golfing.

Bennett is a third-year Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering student currently in his fourth semester with Michigan Tech Formula SAE. As Composites Director, he leads the design, development, and manufacturing of the team’s composite components, helping ensure the vehicle remains lightweight, durable, and competitive.

Some of his favorite technical projects have included developing the team’s Vehicle Dynamics Lap Time Simulator and contributing to the development of the F26 aerodynamic package. These experiences allowed him to combine analytical engineering work with real-world vehicle performance improvements.

His favorite memory with the team is attending the 2026 Pittsburgh Shootout, where he had the opportunity to see the team’s hard work come together in a competitive environment while making lasting memories with teammates.

Outside of Formula SAE, he enjoys sim racing, video games, drawing, disc golf, and pickleball.

Josh is a fourth-year Robotics Engineering student currently in his third semester with Michigan Tech Formula SAE. As Electrical Director, he leads the design, development, and implementation of the vehicle’s electrical systems, overseeing power distribution, sensor integration, data acquisition, and logging.

Josh’s technical accomplishments on the team include helping get the F24 race car running with the Haltech system and wiring the Dynomite unit into the dyno cell, enabling valuable engine testing and calibration.

His favorite Formula SAE memories come from time spent with teammates during testing sessions, as well as team traditions such as Thursday wing nights and bonfires that help build the close-knit culture of the team.

Outside of Formula SAE, Josh enjoys working on motorcycles and vintage cars, as well as hiking and camping.
