Why Should You Join?
We aim to be one of Marquette University's only organizations that has students from each college
"doing their major."
CO-OPs and Internships
Students have the chance to connect with industry leaders and secure co-op and internship positions with some of the largest companies in their respective industries, which can provide a valuable head start in your careers, no matter what major you pursue. We will personally connect you with the companies we partner with in order to connect you with a meaningful and relevant position no matter your major.
Engineering Students
Joining Eagle Racing as an engineering student provides a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a variety of areas relevant to your field of study. Working on a competitive race car project involves design, fabrication, testing, and optimization, which can help you develop practical skills and problem-solving abilities that you may not get in a traditional classroom setting.
Additionally, you'll be able to participate in real-world engineering challenges and apply your classroom knowledge to solve problems and innovate new solutions. These experiences will not only enhance your resume but also prepare you for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in your career.

Additionally, you'll be able to participate in real-world financial management situations, such as budgeting and forecasting, which will give you a competitive edge when it comes to finding internships and co-op opportunities. These experiences will not only enhance your resume but also prepare you for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in your career.

As a member of the team, you'll have the chance to work on designing and creating the team's branding and marketing materials, such as logos, posters, and social media graphics. This will give you hands-on experience in building your portfolio and exploring different styles of art, all while contributing to a real-world project with a tangible impact.
You'll also have the opportunity to lead creative teams and collaborate with engineers, business students, and other disciplines to solve complex problems and push the boundaries of innovation. This experience will not only help you build your resume but also develop your leadership and teamwork skills that are highly valued in any industry.
By joining Marquette Eagle Racing, you'll be part of a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about building a brand and collective of media. Whether you're interested in design, photography, videography, or any other aspect of digital media, there's a place for you on the team.
So, if you're looking for a unique opportunity to gain real-world experience, build your portfolio, and make an impact, consider joining Marquette Eagle Racing. It could be the start of an exciting and fulfilling journey that sets you apart in your field.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay to be on the team?
Students will need to pay $40 cash or $42 through Venmo in order to join Eagle Racing. With this, students will be able to begin our team-specific shop training, participate in our races, and get whatever digital tools that we have to offer (Solidworks, the Adobe Suite, etc...). Along with this, students will receive a team shirt.
Do I have to go to the meetings?
No. Meetings are not mandatory unless you are on a design team, although continued participation in the meetings is highly suggested.
What do I need to work in the shop?
In order to get down and dirty with the team in the shop, Eagle Racing new member training is required. This training will be organized by the senior Baja members and be held in the Baja shop area. In addition to this training, it is highly suggested that Basic and Advanced training provided my Marquette University's Opus College of Engineering be taken.
What does the team do outside of the shop?
Besides working on the cars, designing cars, and talking cars, the team actually enjoys getting together on weekends to hangout and do group events. Team members frequently go to karting events, car shows, meet ups, basketball games, places to eat, and occasionally put together nights to watch the Fast and Furious movies. We're always looking for ways to meet outside as a team, so don't hesitate to bring an idea up!
Do I get to drive the car if I join?
Like most teams, you get out what you put in. If you put in a lot of work on the team and are a committed member, you will find an opportunity to drive either Eagle 4 or Eagle 3.
