Auto Racing Initiative

California Baptist University's Gordon and Jill Bourns College of Engineering provides students with enhanced learning experiences both within and outside the CBU campus through internships, community events, service opportunities, regional club competitions and special research projects tailored to engineering majors.

Following their partnership with KVSH Racing and their sponsorship of the Long Beach Grand Prix Indy Car and the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500, the College of Engineering has launched the Auto Racing Initiative at CBU, a new strategic initiative that will support the growth of STEM education for tomorrow's future leaders and will give current engineering students a competitive edge. 

We especially want to thank our growing list of our generous supporters for this Auto Racing Initiative:
