Engineering students build working vehicle for international competition March 15, 2021 Share This A team of six Quinnipiac engineering students are completing an all-wheel drive, off-road vehicle capable of going up to 40 miles per hour for one of the most prestigious collegiate design competitions in the world — the Baja SAE. Alexander Petrarca ’21, a mechanical engineering major, is the lead designer for the six-member Quinnipiac team. The team plans to compete in an international competition in May in Kentucky. “When I started this project, I was a first-semester junior with solid modeling background but minimal engineering design experience,” he recalls. “Knowing what I know now, there is much I would go back and do differently. That being said, I am still extremely proud of my work and proud to look back at how much I have learned.”
