Mini Baja (hosted by ETSE)

Mini Baja is a design competition sponsored by the Society of Automobile Engineers (SAE). It is available only to undergraduate and graduate engineering students. Through the competition we simulate real-world engineering challenges. Each team is competing to have its design accepted for manufacture by a fictitious firm. As a team we design, build, test, promote, and compete with a vehicle within the limits of the rules. Through the competition we learn to balance our schedule and set our educational priorities to improve our overall engineering experience.
