Northeastern University BAJA SAE is a student-run

organization that improves the technical and practical

engineering knowledge of Northeastern students. This

knowledge is tested through participation in the

internationally-renowned Society of Automotive

Engineers’ (SAE) Baja Collegiate Design Competition.

The SAE Baja Competition, which had its beginnings in 1976,

requires teams to design, fabricate, assemble, and race their

own prototype all-terrain vehicle, in the hopes of winning a

manufacturing “bid” from judges. The team’s efforts include a

business presentation, plus multiple racing trials to

demonstrate the maneuverability, suspension and traction, and

endurance of the proposed design. Competitions are held

across the world, including three that comprise the North

American series.

Northeastern students are responsible for all work that goes

into the design and fabrication of the vehicle. Students are

given the opportunity to not only develop valuable engineering

knowledge in the classroom, but also to apply that knowledge

in the workshop. Students must set and meet schedules for

project completion, comply with financial budgets, and

establish fruitful relationships with sponsors, cultivating their

business acumen.

Over the past several years, the BAJA SAE team has been at the

forefront of the competition, finishing in 7th and 5th places

overall in our 2017 competitions. As a result, our team has

earned national recognition as a competitive force, and allowed

us to form relationships with insightful students from all over the

country.

Our students are among the brightest and most dedicated at the

University, and, with YOUR support, our students can develop

into the most knowledgeable, qualified, and professional of

graduates.

mission, our car, and our students.

The dedication of our students is unmatched.

Countless hours are spent developing the Baja

car. Members of the team use modeling

software to design complex systems, and

must prove their creations’ viability before its

production. Students manufacture their plans

on both manually- and computer-controlled

machines, and assemble them into the fastest,

most resilient vehicle possible. By being

involved in every stage along this process,

our students become the most skilled and

experienced among their peers.

Baja SAE pushes creative limits and inspires

innovation. At the same time, participation requires

acquiring the discipline typically required for a profit-

seeking firm. Our students create project schedules

and budgets, and prepare themselves for the

constraints of the real world. The diverse mix of

talents and backgrounds teach members to work

through different opinions and other workplace

controversy. Coming together as a group to resolve

issues and make the best product imaginable raises

the bar of professionalism for our students. We work

hard to reflect this in the relationships we maintain

with our sponsors. This teaches our students how to

interface with future clients. Baja is not simply an

engineering club, but an incubator for the most

professional graduates.
