Baja SAE
Engineered to conquer the toughest terrain.
About the Program
The Baja SAE team thrives on building vehicles that can withstand the most punishing off-road conditions imaginable. Each year, we design and fabricate a single-seat, all-terrain vehicle from the ground up. Our members specialize in robust chassis design, long-travel suspension systems, and custom drivetrain engineering.
Our Mission
To act as a vehicle for self-motivated engineering students to extend their learning in a practical manner outside of the classroom and to develop the skills needed to become contributing members and leaders in the engineering industry.
