The team is comprised of student engineers at Northeastern University that design, fabricate, and race a custom off-road vehicle in the Baja SAE Collegiate Design Series. The car is a single person, open-wheeled, off-road vehicle powered by a 10 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine.
Best Season Ever!!
The Northeastern Mini Baja team took 2nd place in the endurance test and 3rd place overall out of the 100 teams that competed at the BAJA SAE Tennessee competition resulting in the best finish in the team’s history.
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 object of the competition is to provide SAE student members with 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. Students must function as a team to not only design, build, test, promote, and race a vehicle within the limits of the rules, but also to generate financial support for their project and manage their educational priorities.
