������’s ABET-accredited bachelor of mechanical engineering program recently formed a team to compete in the Baja Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), an inter-collegiate design competition where students design, build, and race off-road vehicles. The project simulates real-world engineering, requiring students to meet deadlines, manage a budget, and complete testing. The project will culminate May 1-4, 2025, in Marana, Arizona, where the team will put their Baja racer to the test. Grace’s team will compete against nearly 80 other schools in maneuverability, hill climbing, sled pulling, shock testing, acceleration, and endurance to determine which team built the best kart.

������placed 37th in the endurance race out of 68 schools entered
