A challenge for engineering students to design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive the severe punishment of rough terrain. Each team's goal is to design and build a prototype of an all-weather, rugged, single-seat, off-road recreational vehicle intended for sale to the nonprofessional weekend off-road enthusiast. These future engineers work together as a team in real world situations to discover and resolve technical challenges in design, test, manufacturing, and business issues. The most rugged of all the competitions, Baja SAE also gives students the first-hand experienece of pursuing their passion while managing real-life demands and priorities.
