At the 2007 Baja SAE Competition hosted by the South Dakota School of Mines, Cal Poly Pomona took 31st place overall, while getting 13th overall in the design category.

 

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) puts on a contest every year that enables engineering students to exercise the engineering techniques they have been acquiring in a real world project. For the competition, teams must build a prototype Baja car for a fictitious company. The competition is judged against other schools based on design, safety, cost, a sales presentation, maneuverability, acceleration, hill climb, and a four-hour endurance race. A combined score for all of these events determines the overall winner. The competition is a great way for students to practice their skills and develop their team building abilities. This year the competition will be held May 24 th through 27 th , 2007 in Rapid City , South Dakota .
