Background
Baja SAE is a collegiate competition in which students design, build and race an off-road vehicle. I am a club member and contributor to Gonzaga's Baja car.
Fabrication
I machine and fabricate components for the competition vehicle, using the same shop processes I use at the Herak Manufacturing Technology Center.
- Mounting brackets
- A-arm plugs
- Coped frame tubes
I troubleshoot assembly problems with the team and support the iterative design changes that result from them.
Training
I train new members from observation through to hands-on fabrication work. Member retention increased 50% year over year.
50%
Year-over-year increase in member retention.
