Baja SAE
The Baja SAE team's mission is to design and construct a single-seat off-road vehicle to meet the rules set forth by the Society of Automotive Engineers.

What is Baja SAE?
Baja SAE consists of competitions that simulate real-world engineering design projects and their related challenges. Engineering students are tasked to design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive the severe punishment of rough terrain. The objective of the competition is to provide a challenging project that involves the design, 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.



Who can join?
We are currently seeking dedicated students with a passion for engineering, teamwork, and racing. For more information on how to join please email vtbaja@gmail.com.
