For the past three years, a team of engineering and technology students from San Joaquin Delta College has participated in the annual Society of Automotive Engineers, (SAE), Mini Baja Competition. In 2003, San Joaquin Delta was the only Community College entrant – competing against 110 university teams from the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Poland, and Korea. To prepare for each event, the team built a Baja Racer from scratch with the exception of the engine and tires. The student team designs and builds the suspension each year. Students also prepared a manufacturing cost analysis and design document, delivered an oral design/sales/cost presentation to a panel of judges, and drove the vehicle in events that included hill climb, acceleration, maneuverability, rock crawling, and a four-hour off-road endurance race.
