Cabinet
A cabinet, comprised of multidisciplinary student members from both the
Formula
and Baja teams,
makes decisions pertaining to all SAE members at Iowa State.
Members of the cabinet typically have at least 1 year of
experience with SAE and are elected each year by members from both
teams. Just as membership with a
particular SAE team can give a student the experience he/she needs to
succeed, membership on the cabinet shows a particular commitment and
drive necessary to keep SAE at Iowa State continually moving forward.
The 2000 Baja and Formula Car
Campus Events
Throughout the school year, SAE attends many campus events. Both the Baja
and Formula car attend these events, accompanied by knowledgeable team
members ready to facilitate any questions about the cars.
The car’s presence at these events not only intrigues passersby,
but also generates conversation and helps stimulate discussion about new
and exciting possibilities for each car. The
VEISHA Parade,
SWE Haunted House, and numerous membership
drives throughout the year are just a few examples of how SAE approaches
new member recruitment and increased awareness for the Organization.
The experience gained from involvement with SAE is unmatched.
Opportunities in SAE vary anywhere from financial planning to
hands-on mechanical experience gained when building the final design, and
everything in between. The design
and construction of the cars are aided by a multitude of people and
organizations, including students, faculty, and industry
professionals. It is truly a team
effort. The ability to work
effectively in teams has never been more important than it is today, and
nowhere is this more evident than in SAE.
