The SAE Baja project is an engineering design competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). It challenges students to design, build, and race a single-seat, all-terrain vehicle.
The goal of the SAE Baja project is to provide students with hands-on experience in designing and building a vehicle while also developing their teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
The SAE Baja project is open to undergraduate and graduate students from universities and colleges around the world. Students from all majors are welcome to participate.
The SAE Baja project typically lasts for one academic year, with teams starting their design and building process in the fall and competing in regional and national competitions in the spring.
The SAE Baja project is judged based on various factors such as design, performance, and cost. Judges also evaluate the team's presentation and documentation of their design process. Safety is also a top priority in the judging process.
