UConn Formula SAE is home to over 200 talented students who design, build, and compete with both internal combustion (IC) and electric (EV) Formula-style race cars each year. Their mission goes far beyond racing: they are dedicated to shaping future leaders who gain hands-on experience that extends well beyond the classroom.
“We strive to make each member a better student, engineer, teammate, friend, and leader,” says the team.
Managing such a large, multidisciplinary project means dealing with thousands of CAD models, documents, and revisions.
Before adopting Kenesto, the team relied on general-purpose storage tools like Google Drive and OneDrive which often led to inefficiencies, version conflicts, and frustration.
When the team discovered Kenesto, they found the reliable, engineering-focused data management solution they needed.
With Kenesto Drive and the SolidWorks plug-in, the team can now collaborate seamlessly across multiple subgroups from electrical and frame design to aerodynamics and powertrain.
“Kenesto has alleviated the team of headache and inefficiencies, empowering my teammates and I to continue to work uninterrupted and push the boundaries of what this team can be.”
Ryan Obuchon, IC Electrical Lead (UConn ENGR 2027)
“The integration of Kenesto within our workflows has helped streamline our efforts and freed us from bottlenecks, enabling my teammates and I to deliver high-quality projects without unnecessary delays.”

Today, the UConn Formula SAE team continues to innovate year after year, trusting Kenesto to manage their data securely and efficiently.
They’ve seen firsthand how structured file management supports smoother collaboration, faster iteration, and a stronger foundation for their ambitious goals.
At Kenesto, we’re honored to play a small role in helping this incredible team design, build, and race toward the future of engineering.
