c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 A Faculty Adviser’s Perspective on Developing an SAE Baja ProgramIntroductionTo design, build, and race a successful Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Baja car, a newSAE club faces a variety of challenges. In 2008, a new SAE student chapter was formed atNMU and the author became the faculty adviser for this club. This paper presents the insightsgained from the author’s first four years of developing a new SAE program at NMU.The primary purpose of the SAE club at NMU is to help engineering students develop theknowledge and skills necessary to become competent engineers. Since many students join thisclub in their freshman year, their

endangers our society’s ability to recruita sufficiently large population of engineers1, it robs engineering of the unique perspectives that adiverse talent pool can provide2, and is socially unjust. However, solving the problem of under-representation may not remove racial inequality from engineering education. While AsianAmerican students are not under-represented in engineering, they are still members of a minoritypopulation and face both discrimination and stereotyping. Since they are not under-representedin engineering, they may have reduced social support infrastructure (scholarships,ethnically/racially specific technical societies, support staff), and encounter less understanding oftheir minority status.
