2009 CMU Baja Team completes vehicle build
 |
April 14, 2009 - Engineering students on the CMU Baja Team recently completed the design and build of the off-road vehicle they will use in upcoming Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) competitions. The challenge of the competition is to to use lightweight materials while maintaining structural integrity to create an all-terrain vehicle. 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. |
Sponsor the CMU Baja Team
CMU's Department of Engineering and Technology is offering chances to sponsor CMU's SAE Mini Baja team. Sponsor logos will be displayed on both sides of the CMU vehicle and will be included in promotional materials. For more information, contact Gail Moore, Director of Development, College of Science and Technology at (989) 774-3773 or gail.moore@cmich.edu
One thing you have to do
CMU's engineering majors complete design projects as part of the curriculum. One example is the annual cardboard boat race for freshman engineering students, which was named one of the "101 Things You Gotta Do Before You Graduate" by Sports Illustrated on Campus.
The Department of Engineering and Technology at CMU is a Cadence University program member.
