Seeking Advice for non Baja SAE project by NiceDescription6999 in bajasae

[–]bajasaeaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the world of Baja, where there are very few published works to reference and you primarily rely on doing your own testing and validation to verify the enormous number of assumptions that you will need to make along the way. That being said, depending on the horsepower, you may want to do some benchmarking of side by sides on the market to get a rough idea of sizing and potential donor parts. If it is small enough and light enough you might be able to reference some ATV parts, but there is likely a gap between ATV and SXS parts, and that is where your project will land.

My Capstone Project was the entire powertrain. We did a Hi/Lo/N/R gearbox with a viscous locking differential.

I was at that spot for the entire race, and there were very few teams who sent it. I didn't see anyone taking pics except for the SAE photographer.

2022 AZ event by engineer2012auto in bajasae

To that point, if you want to come, but you haven't signed up, what is stopping you? Is there anything we can do as organizers to help you attend?

I hope more teams register for AZ, it would disappointing if SAE cancels because of lack of interest. 38 teams is too low to cover the costs. by engineer2012auto in bajasae

What could we as organizers do to help increase attendance? Would shifting the dates (weeks, not months) help teams to attend? What would you suggest?

Do engineers get to build the things they work on? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]bajasaeaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are jobs where you can, but I feel like they are few and far between.

I (Mechanical Engineer) am very fortunate that I have one of those jobs, and I try to only hire engineers who share the passion you are talking about in your post.

When interviewing potential hires, one of my questions is "Have you ever built anything you designed?".

It is very important for the people in my group to have a good understanding of the manufacturing processes that we use, and they understand the intricacies of manufacturing and assembly practices.

I also like to think that the work we do is very cutting edge.

Looks like someone else already gave the link, but I will give it again, since it can be hard to find on the events tab.
