Team's director and Power

2008 - 2010

Baja SAE consists in a competition that simulate real-world engineering design projects and their related challenges. Engineering students are tasked to design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive the severe punishment of rough terrain.During competition, teams are judged on a variety of factors including cost reports, design reports and decisions, acceleration performance, braking performance, suspension performance, and a four hour long endurance race. As the team's director: Responsible for managing the team, project managing, keeping in touch with suppliers, sponsors and the university. As PowerTrain designer: Design, manufacture and validation of the vehicle's transmission system. Results: - Team & infrastructuture building - 4 prototypes competing at national competitions. - Sponsor finding to financially enable four prototypes construction. - Brazilian second lightest prototype between 76 universities. - On going team.
