UA Collegiate Chapter

Society of Automotive Engineers: Awards and Scholarships

baja The SAE collegiate chapter at UA has seen major growth in membership and club activities in the past decade. SAE Formula Car (FSAE) and Mini-Baja are two major design competition projects that attract many students to the club. Our teams have participated in the regional and national competitions for these two projects almost every year for the past ten years.

The growth and success of these activities has been partially due to the support that the club has received from the university, the college, and the department. However, the main reason for the success of these activities is the dedication of the member students and the remarkable leadership provided by some of the members.

Both the Formula Car and Mini-Baja projects require students to design and build a new car, based on the SAE guidelines, for each annual competition. The team members spent numerous hours, days and nights, on these projects without receiving any course credits or a salary. Involvement in these projects becomes a full-time job.

However, in the process they learn a lot about teamwork, fundraising, leadership, responsibility, and devotion to their adopted profession. Many of the former team members, after graduation, have said that being on one of these teams have been the most valuable and rewarding part of their education at UA.

In recognition of the value of these activities, the UA collegiate chapter of SAE has established several scholarship funds to be awarded annually to the undergraduate and graduate students. Each scholarship is sponsored and financed by an individual, a company, or an organization. The Chapter anticipates an increase in the number of scholarships offered in the future as additional sponsorships become available.
