The Columbia '''Formula SAE Team''' (more often known as just '''SAE''') is an engineering student group that builds race cars to compete with against other colleges and universities. Their objective is to conceive, design, fabricate, and compete with small formula style racing cars. Restrictions are placed on the car frame and engine by SAE International so that the knowledge, creativity, and imagination of the students are challenged.

==Membership==
While the SAE is officially a program of the Mechanical Engineering department, SAE has members from Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Columbia College. Members include first years through seniors.

==The Cars==
The team constructed a race car the Formula SAE competition in Detroit, Michigan in 2002, 2004, and 2006. They are currently building a new vehicle which will compete in the Michigan Formula SAE competition in May, 2008.

The race car is supported by a tubular steel space frame, which is fabricated by the team from scratch. It is powered by a four-cylinder 600cc motorcycle engine. The current engine is from a Honda CBR600 F4i. Engine performance is limited via a mandatory intake restrictor. Air coming into the engine is routed through a 20 square millimeter hole before entering the intake manifold. The engine is fuel injected, and the fuel-air mixture is governed by a custom engine management computer.

The vehicles accommodate a single driver in an open cockpit configuration.

==Facilities==
The team operates out of a workshop located in the basement of the [[Seeley Mudd Hall|Seeley W. Mudd building]]. It is furnished with machining and welding equipment. There is also access to the street via the Mudd parking garage.

==Appearances==
This student group is notorious for revving their engine at the annual [[Activities fair]], which is very loud and disruptive, and often suffocates neighboring student groups in a cloud of exhaust.

The race car also participates in the New York International Auto Show.

King's Crown (symbol)

2008-01-16T10:26:35Z

Ximinez:

The '''Columbia Crown''' is a common [[:Category:Symbols|symbol]] associated with the school. The crown has been one of the least consistent symbols, changing and morphing and appearing in various forms throughout the schools history. It has also been adapted in various fashions by different schools within the University. Recently, the school has standardized usage of the crown and it has taken precedent over the [[Columbia Seal|seal]] and [[Columbia Shield|shield]] in branding. For example, the [[Columbia Law School|law school]] switched from using the shield and it's own logo to the spaded crown in 2007.

While the general characteristics of the crown have remained constant - three crosses, one above the crown and one in each of the left and right 'chambers' of the crown, the shape and ornamentation of the crown has varied widely. Some variances include whether or not the top cross is attached to a ball, or directly to the crown; whether the two interior crosses are elongated to take up the entire space or are short, leaving white space; whether the exterior of the crown has been smooth, or studded; whether the bottom and center line of the design have been blank or decorated, and whether with circle or diamond patterns.

The Columbia Crown does not appear to correspond exactly with any of the present Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. The closest match would be [http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page5165.asp?GalleryID=15&ImageID=227&Start=0 St. Edward's Crown], which would make sense since, as it was crafted in 1661 and would have been worn by [[King George II|George II]] at the time of the founding of [[King's College]]. However, the Columbia crown is notably missing the [[w:fleur de lis|fleur de lis]] present in all British royal insignia since the [[w:Norman conquest|Norman conquest]].
