The Department of Mechanical in association with Society of Automotive Engineers
conducted Baja SAE competition






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.
All vehicles are powered by a ten-horsepower Intek Model 20 engine donated by Briggs &
Stratton Corporation. For over twenty-five years, the generosity of Briggs & Stratton has
enabled SAE to provide each team with a dependable engine free of charge.
Use of the same engine by all the teams creates a more challenging engineering design test.
In this regard our students are participated the first step of the competition virtual event was
conducted at Gujarat Technological Institute, Ahmedabad on 2nd August 2014.
