<h2>Our Mission</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
UCalgary Baja is a student organization that allows students to
|
|
design, build, and race an off-road vehicle to participate in the
|
|
Baja SAE competition organized by the Society of Automotive
|
|
Engineers (SAE) every year.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We're dedicated to giving members hands-on experience working on
|
|
the car, which allows them to both learn new skills and
|
|
techniques, such as using Solidworks, Ansys, machining, and
|
|
welding, as well as utilizing knowledge learned from classrooms.
|
|
This is done with practical projects, allowing students to build
|
|
skills and knowledge that employers are looking for. We strive to
|
|
bridge the gap between education and application, making learning
|
|
effective and memorable.

<h2>The Competition</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Every year, we take our car to the United States to compete
|
|
against other teams from all across the globe. Teams from
|
|
universities design, build, and race these all-terrain vehicles
|
|
that are capable of going through a series of rough courses, as
|
|
well as discuss their findings, such as cost reports and design
|
|
choices, all in a series of dynamic and static events. We also get
|
|
the chance to connect with engineering students from around the
|
|
world, trading advice and making new friends, and network with
|
|
sponsors to explore future job opportunities.

<h2>Static Events</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Static events are where the whole team steps away from building
|
|
the car and takes a look at the professional and analytical aspect
|
|
of the team. The business presentation, cost event, and technical
|
|
inspection are all events that are equally important as the actual
|
|
car, as this is where we show real-world understanding of
|
|
engineering, manufacturing, and business decisions. It's not only
|
|
about making the car, it's also about demonstrating a clear
|
|
understanding behind design rationale, cost efficiency, and
|
|
marketability within a competitive industry.

<h3>SALES PRESENTATION</h3>
|
|
<h3>Business Team</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In collaboration with the rest of the team, develops a concept
|
|
proposal and presents it to a panel of industry judges to gain
|
|
support, such as funding.
|
|
</p>
|
|

|
|
<h3>COST EVENT</h3>
|
|
<h3>Mechanical and Electrical Teams</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
- bruh idfk DESIGN - The team presents the design, research,
|
|
and testing of the vehicle to a panel of judges.
|
|
</p>

|
|
<li>
|
|
<h3>TECHNICAL INSPECTIONS</h3>
|
|
<h3>Whole Team</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
(maybe take off) - Judges inspect every aspect of the car in
|
|
order to make sure it complies with competition rules and
|
|
ensure safety.

<h2>Dynamic Events</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Dynamic events are where the car is actually put to the test, with
|
|
different events each made to test a certain aspect of the car.
|
|
Acceleration, sled pull, hill climb and maneuverability are all
|
|
events that show how our vehicle does against other teams. After
|
|
all these events, the finale comes in the form of the endurance
|
|
event, a four-hour race filled with jumps, pits, and other
|
|
obstacles, and teams compete to see how many laps the cars can
|
|
make. It combines all the factors from previous events, on top of
|
|
the reliability of our car.

|
|
<li>
|
|
<h3>ACCELERATION</h3>
|
|
<p>The car is tested for speed by uhh i forgot</p>

|
|
<h3>SLED PULL</h3>
|
|
<p>The car's torque is tested by pulling variable load</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<h3>HILL CLIMB</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The car is tested to see how high the car can climb up a
|
|
variable slope

|
|
<h3>MANEUVERABILITY</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Obstacle course, where the fastest and most accurate vehicles
|
|
are awarded more points
