The students take great pride in what we are able to achieve while applying their knowledge and skills in real-world challenges. Quite simply, we could not achieve at this level without DENSO.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The objective of the competition is to provide SAE student members with a challenging project that involves the design, planning, and manufacturing tasks found when introducing a new product to the consumer industrial market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hands-on experience these students gain throughout the Baja build and competition season is invaluable,\u201d said Hugh Cantrell, director of Administrative Services at DENSO Manufacturing Athens Tennessee. \u201cNot only does this program help build stronger technical skills and problem solving skills, it also helps shape strong team members.
