Shocker Racing Baja SAE

Baja SAE is an international collegiate design competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The contest challenges each team to function as a small manufacturing firm whose task is to design, fabricate, market, and race an off-road vehicle prototype that will be evaluated from a variety of manufacturing angles. Each year, various SAE sections host three competitions in which teams from across the nation and around the world bring their vehicles to undergo rigorous testing. The vehicles are judged based on their ability to traverse a harsh, off-road racing course, while not succumbing to the rigors of it.

The Shocker Racing Baja SAE Team aims to provide our members with practical applications of engineering concepts they learn through the university while assisting them in making connections, whether in the automotive industry or in any of the countless other industries that the team works with. Similarly, through being faced with constant challenges, the team works to cultivate a community to encourage members to grow in their abilities to adapt, learn from failure, and make changes for the better— skills that go a long way in their futures. Our goal is to improve both the professional and personal lives of our members for the better while working together and having fun building off-road racing vehicles
