The Society of Automotive Engineers is a national organization that promotes education and development in the field of transportation technologies. Among its activities are college-level competitions in vehicle design, one of which is the Mini Baja competition. There are different competitions in various parts of the country; Northwestern University competes in the Midwest region.

The NU chapter of the SAE consists of approximately 20 undergraduate students and has a faculty advisor, Professor Henry Stoll. The design and construction of the car are performed by students, with guidance from faculty. NU has competed successfully in past years, most recently in 2002.
