- Abstract
This project aimed to establish a Baja SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) team at Hanover College and design a robust vehicle frame for participation in Baja SAE competitions. The objective was to engage students across various disciplines, including engineering, business, and design, in a hands-on, real-world engineering project. A comprehensive study of the Baja SAE rules and regulations was conducted to ensure compliance with competition requirements, including an analysis of vehicle design specifications, safety standards, and technical constraints imposed by the competition guidelines. The central focus of the project was the design and fabrication of a durable and lightweight vehicle frame, serving as the backbone of the vehicle, providing structural support and ensuring vehicle integrity during dynamic off-road maneuvers. Advanced simulation tools, such as SolidWorks Simulation, were utilized to analyze the performance of the frame under various loading conditions, employing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess structural integrity, identify potential areas of weakness, and optimize the design for maximum strength-to-weight ratio. Additionally, future directions for the Hanover College Baja SAE team were explored, including strategies for sustainable team growth, recruitment of new members, and fundraising efforts. Through these efforts, the project aimed to foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence within the Hanover College engineering community, preparing students for success in their future careers in engineering and related fields.
