ENGINEERINGBetter Baja

HANDS-ON LEARNING: Mike Myers ’16 was at the wheel when the Baja team participated in the Baja SAE Endurance Race at Hogback Hill Motorcross in Palmyra, New York, in June. Baja competitions are the culmination of months of effort by students, who design and build a vehicle, and generate financial and in-kind support from outside sponsors. The Palmyra event—which attracted 100 teams, 28 of which were from other countries—involved acceleration, maneuverability, and other competitions, followed by a four-hour endurance race, in which Rochester finished in 27th place.
