What is Baja SAE?

Baja SAE challenges engineering students to design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive extreme terrains. A group of engineers work together as a team to discover and resolve technical challenges in design, test, and manufacturing. 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 off-road enthusiast.
