The SAE Collegiate Design Series challenges students to take what they've learned in the classroom and compete in a real-world setting. These students get to go beyond textbook theory by designing, building and testing the performance of a real vehicle. In doing so, they join other students in exciting and intense competitions.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear from top engineering students regarding the development of this year's vehicles and the results of last year's competition. Here's the lineup for our presentations.
  • Formula SAE, with a focus on Formula-type race vehicles. University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, Minnesota State University - Mankato
  • Mini Baja, with a focus on the off-road vehicle. University of Wisconsin - Stout, University of St. Thomas
  • Clean Snowmobile Challenge, with a focus on noise and emission control. Minnesota State University – Mankato
SAE Collegiate Design Competition events are held throughout the United States, although the teams are from universities throughout the world as well as North America.
More than 25,000 engineering students have graduated with SAE collegiate design experience and have benefited tremendously from their participation.
