Baja SAE is an intercollegiate engineering design competition for undergraduate and graduate students organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The object of the competition is to simulate real-world engineering design projects and their related challenges. Each team is competing to have its design accepted for manufacturing by a fictitious firm. The students must function as a team to design, build, test, promote, and compete with their vehicle within the limits of the rules. They must also generate financial support for the project, all while managing their educational priorities.
