Pittsburg State University to host Baja SAE competition Officials from Pittsburg State University and the City of Pittsburg gathered on Thursday to announce that PSU will once again host Baja SAE – Kansas. The event, which will draw thousands of competitors from across the U.S. and numerous other countries, is set for May 22-25, 2014. “We are very excited to once again host this important event,” said PSU President Steve Scott. “Hosting Baja SAE – Kansas allows us to showcase our university and our community for visitors from around the world. The fact that PSU was chosen to host the event just three years after hosting it for the first time is a testament to the strong spirit of cooperation between the university and the community.” The competition will attract 100 teams from universities across the globe including those from Egypt, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Argentina, Venezuela, Bangladesh and India. Baja SAE consists of competitions that simulate real-world engineering design projects and their related challenges. Engineering students are tasked with designing and building an off-road vehicle that will survive the severe punishment of rough terrain. The competition involves designing, planning and manufacturing.
