Michigan Technological University is home to the newly
designed Enterprise Program. 
Through Enterprise, students from all fields of study have the opportunity to work on real world problems thanks to the partnership of cooperating businesses. This new arrangement prepares students for the challenges that await them after their education, and gives new perspectives to the businesses who participate.

Mini Baja® consists of three regional competitions that simulate real-world engineering design projects and their related challenges. Engineering students are tasked to design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive the severe punishment of rough terrain and in the East competition--water.
The object of the competition is to provide SAE student members with a challenging project that involves the planning and manufacturing tasks found when introducing a new product to the consumer industrial market. Teams compete against one another to have their design accepted for manufacture by a fictitious firm.
Recently Michigan Tech hosted their annual Winter Mini-baja Invitational at the Keweenaw Research Center. Teams from all over Michigan showed up to have some fun in the snow and work some bugs out of their cars. See the video for highlights.
