Vanguard Racing Team

The Vanguard Racing team is made up of a diverse group of students all working towards a successful season made up of designing, building, racing, and presenting an off road vehicle as if we were a true engineering company. The experience gained through the Baja SAE competition Is not available in the classroom environment. Being part of the team is completely voluntary and allows members to apply concepts taught in the classroom to tangible challenges. Because the team is not part of a class, each student gets to be hands on for multiple aspects of the car,throughout design, the build, testing, and even the business side of the team. As our team members finish their degree and enter the working world, they will have the ability to take initiative and apply theories and ideas to real, open-ended problems. While having a small team does create challenges, it also allows for more opportunities for each member to learn and gain valuable experience. We take pride in our close knit team...
