Texas A&M University’s BAJA SAE race team is an interdisciplinary engineering design team determined to develop world-class engineers. Each year, its members are tasked with creating a single-seat, off-road vehicle, such as the one pictured and driven by Christopher Larson ’21, to compete against hundreds of schools across the globe. The team spends countless hours researching, building and prototyping to produce a champion race car.
Through this program, students gain highly valued technical, communication and critical thinking skills that prepare them to succeed in the engineering industry. The current team is working toward its third design iteration and is nearing the start of manufacturing its 2021 race car.
“We have an amazing group of engineers on this year’s team,” explained Randall Schank ’21, BAJA SAE team president. “Our out-of-the-box ideas will give us a competitive advantage in the 2021 competition.”
