Formula Electric Belgium unites a group of motivated engineering students from different campuses of KU Leuven University and Thomas More University College in Belgium. The Formula project offers the team members a working environment in which they have to apply all their technical and soft skills.
Apart from enhancing these skills and bringing their education to a higher level, the practical goal of the project is to design, build and drive an electric Formula Student race car. In this process, they are joined by several partners who help realize the building of the car. After a year of development and manufacturing, the team will participate in several international events of the Formula Student competition.
MORE THAN JUST A
RACECAR
TEAMWORK
Regardless of whether you design the next ECU or battery pack, an innovation within the powertrain department or the next monocoque for composites, it’s al about teamwork. Formula Electric Belgium gives students a place to develop their social skills in a realistic work environment.

SOFT SKILLS
When running a race team, a lot more than just building a car need to be done. Events need to be organized, socials need to be updated, presentations need to be given, …
All these tasks give you an opportunity to work on your soft skills and connect with partners.
FUN!
Besides all the hard work and presentations FEB is also fun! Working closely with other students on a project you’re all passionate about can’t give much more pleasure. From karting to decide who will drive the car during the competitions to just having a casual drink after a day of hard work, you’ll live it all here!
