SAE BAJA

It is a college competition to provide SAE student members with a challenging project that involves the planning and manufacturing tasks found when introducing a new product to the consumer industrial market. Teams compete against one another to have their design accepted for manufacture by a fictitious firm. Students must function as a team to not only design, build, test, promote, and race a vehicle within the limits of the rules, but also to generate financial support for their project.

The SAE Baja competition involves college students from around the world competing against each other in many different areas. Some of the categories are; design, cost, speed, power, suspension, and durability.

Baja Members are required to submit University level design and cost reports during the fabrication of the vehicle. These reports as well as the finished vehicle will spend several hours at safety inspections and evaluations, where areas such as roll cage design, brake design, suspension geometry, cost and ergonomics are highly scrutinized by a panel of project Engineers.

Acceleration- Time it takes the vehicle to accelerate along a 100’ flat course Hill climb – Test each vehicle’s ability to ascend a steep grade from a standing start Maneuverability– Test each vehicle’s suspension, handling, and steering in an obstacle course Rock Crawling & Tree Crawling – Test the vehicle’s low speed power, suspension travel, and traction Endurance – Test each vehicle’s ability to operate continuously and at speed over rough terrain containing obstacles in any weather condition

TEAM GOALS

 Finish the Baja on schedule and within budget  Learn how to design, fabricate, and test our Baja in a grueling wheel to wheel competition  Have the opportunity to compete with the top Universities in the world at the 2012 Wisconsin race.
