Altium Sponsorship

The Caltech Racing Team is proud to announce the addition of Altium Limited as a sponsor for the 2015–2016 year, ultimately leading to the Formula SAE Electric competition.

The team will use Altium Designer, the leading electrical CAD tool in the industry, to design all of the vehicle’s electric and electronic systems. The use of this platform will allow our student-engineers to more easily, precisely, and quickly iterate on our designs and reach our goals, ensuring that fast-paced deadlines and performance requirements can be met. Through our partnership with Altium Limited, the club’s students will be exposed to state-of-the-art software tools that will greatly contribute to their education, preparing them for their careers in engineering.
