As members of this professional society, students are given the opportunity to stay informed regarding recent developments in the field of mechanical engineering through publications, field trips and meetings. Fellowship is also enhanced through interaction with other student sections as well as professional sectors of the society. 

Baja SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) consists of three regional competitions that simulate real-world engineering design projects and their related challenges. Engineering students are tasked to design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive the severe punishment of rough terrain and sometimes even water. 

The students, through their elected officers, administer concerns of the chapter. Offers are counseled by the SAE Faculty Adviser and receive the cooperation of the Vice-Chairperson for Student Activities of the SAE Activities Committee through SAE Headquarters. Individuals are invited to speak and/or make presentations about relevant topics and tours of interest are taken.
