Baja Club


Mission Statement: The goal of the Baja Club is to each year join the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Baja competition: where schools from across the country build a small single seat off-road vehicle and compete in many different events. Their tasks are to design, build, promote, test and race thier small vehicle within the boundaries set by a quite hefty rulebook, while also generaterating the financial means necessary to complete each of those tasks. The team is comprised of around 15 undergraduate students from mechanical and electrical engineering, biology and more.

ΤβΠ

The Tau Beta I Association was founded at Lehigh University in 1885 by Edward Higginson Williams, Jr., to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as students in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in engineering colleges.
