After successful completion of their freshman year, Mechanical Engineering students may apply for admission into the Motorsports Engineering concentration. As sophomores, students accepted into the program enroll in Motorsports Clinic I, where an increased emphasis is placed on applied automotive engineering education. These students participate in individual and team motorsports/automotive projects.

During their junior and senior years, Motorsports Engineering students begin a heavier concentration in automotive studies. All technical electives are taken from a list of motorsports engineering courses. Motorsports Clinics II and III involve motorsports projects and research. Design/build projects include the mini-Baja competition car, Formula SAE open-wheel race car, and numerous other projects associated with national competitions and local motorsports partners.
