Mini Baja^® is a design competition which gives real-world engineering design experience to  participating SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) student members.  Teams from around the world compete to have their design chosen for manufacture by a fictitious company.  Competing teams must design, manufacture, test, promote, and seek financial sponsorship in addition to racing their vehicle. The vehicle must be able to withstand traversing rough terrain.

All team vehicles are equipped with a ten-horsepower Intek Model 20 engine, donated by Briggs & Stratton Corporation.
