Vijay V S and Yathish Kumar K, assistant professors in the department of mechanical engineering are the faculty advisors of the Club. The Team SJEC Racing has students working in the six departments of drive train, braking, design, suspension, steering, and marketing. The participation offers the students the opportunity to apply the concepts learnt in classroom and develop their own ideas and innovativeness to design and develop a fully functional state of the art ATV.
