SAE Student Chapter Presentation - 2007
  Presented by:
Ron Lloyd
Twin Cities Section Student Activities Chairman
&
SAE Student Chapter Members		  
The SAE student chapter members put their engineering class training to work as they build vehicles and place them into real world competition against other Chapter teams at SAE-sanctioned events. With these activities, they work together as a team, learning from each other and how to work together as they will when they enter the business world.
A new SAE Chapter will be joining the event this year, St. Cloud State University . Be sure to make your reservations for this event to hear this new group and the returning chapters as they present design / development of their 2006 - 2007 vehicles and their most recent competition efforts. Presentation lineup for the April meeting will be:
  • Formula SAE, with a focus on Formula-type race vehicles: University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, Minnesota State University - Mankato, and now St. Cloud State University
  • 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
More than 25,000 engineering students have tremendous benefits from their participation in this competition and graduated with SAE collegiate design experience.
