It has been a crappy day so far, and i don't expect that to change much over the course of the day. But that is not why we are here, because i wanted to take the time to share a good article written by the founder of Altair:

Formula SAE — Engineering Careers Just Beginning
This article was written by James R. Scapa, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Altair.
Auburn University’s Formula SAE racing team posted a very nice thank-you on Facebook this week:
“We would like to extend our thanks to Altair University for their support of our program and FSAE in general. Without their unwavering support, our engineers would not have been capable of validating critical designs and innovating on past years’ designs. Thank you so much for your contributions and for allowing our engineers to learn and grow through Auburn University’s Formula SAE program.”
Over the last few months, we’ve received many emails from college design teams thanking Altair for our support of student engineering programs in 2016. Altair has been a proud sponsor of students and collegiate teams for nearly 20 years. The 2017 design cycle for SAE competitions in Formula, Baja, Clean Snowmobile, Hybrid, and Electric is underway and we look forward to continued great success for our sponsored teams.
These students are ready to take on the engineering challenges and opportunities in front of them. They are consistently coming up with new ways to innovate design with alternative energy sources, electronics, fuel efficiency, lightweighting, and much more. The world has problems to solve, products to develop, and experiences to create. It’s the stuff engineers have always done, but with even more powerful software tools coupled with broad global information access, our next generation of engineers will do it better than ever.
We can guess at some of the areas they will focus on during their careers: e-mobility, Internet of Things, sustainable design, nanomaterials, energy, and transportation infrastructure. We can hope for breakthroughs in biomedical engineering and it seems reaching Mars will be a goal too obvious to ignore. But what about the stuff we don’t know about? Which of this year’s Formula SAE graduates will work on things that don’t even have a name yet?
War Eagle!
Lights out Alice!
