The SAE chapter has long been active in the University. They annually compete in the Mini Baja competition.  This competition requires that the students design and then build an off road vehicle.

Much of the car is designed on the computer by the students using various CAD and simulation packages.  All the welding, machining, and manufacturing of the car and all it's parts are also done by the students.  This project is a massive undertaking but as you can see from the slideshow, it's one well worth the effort.  To see more about SAE and in particular the Mini Baja Car visit the SAE web site.
