For the first time in history, all of Purdue’s Society of Automotive Engineers racing teams have finished in the top 10 in one of the most challenging intercollegiate competitions in the world. For nearly 50 years, SAE has challenged students to race different classes of custom vehicles. Students spend the school year designing, building and testing the vehicles, and then gather during the summer to compete against other university teams.
