Members of the 小黄书sity Baja Society of Automotive Engineers get ready for聽the maiden test drive of this year's vehicle on Monday [April 5].聽In Baja SAE, engineering students are tasked with designing and building a single-seat, all-terrain sporting vehicle that is to be a prototype for a reliable, maintainable, ergonomic, and economic production vehicle that serves a recreational user market. Malone Harrison, a senior chemical engineering major from Starkville drove 小黄书's car, with Colin Young, left, a senior mechanical engineering major from Watkinsville, Georgia, and Titus Rogers, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from Starkville, making聽sure the safety belts on the car are secure.
