2023 Baja SAE Design Comparison Document [Insert School Name] [Insert Baja SAE Series Event] 2022 Car Number 2023 Car Number #000 #000 1 Instructions All teams that finished within the top 10 positions in ANY of the North American Baja SAE Events the previous year are required to complete this document, convert to a .pdf, save it as “2023_Design_Comparison_university_name” and email it to Jason Fields (jason.fields@polaris.com) 10 days prior to the start of 1st event you are attending. A CAD rendering and a photograph of both the previous and current design should be provided in the appropriate box, whether the system was changed or not. One sentence answers must be given to each of the following 4 questions below the images. • • • • What issue was resolved by changing the design? What analysis was done on the issue? What changes were made to solve the issue? What validation was done on the new design? If the system underwent design changes, the next 1 to 6 slides should detail how the engineering design cycle was applied to this specific system. Additional figures and tables should be added in this section. Use this opportunity to showcase your exemplary design and design process Discuss in detail: The failures or design flaws with the previous year’s system The analysis, simulation, and testing completed The decision-making process and alternatives considered How the system changes affect the overall vehicle performance, reliability, and driving experience The validation which was done on the new design, showing that it eliminated the initial flaws 2 Vehicle Level Design (Overall Package and System Integration) Issue(s) with old design: Analysis performed: Changes made: Use this slide to highlight vehicle level specifications and goals which affectedValidation howofall the new design: subsystems were designed, and their effect on the whole vehicle Delete this text box. 3 Vehicle Level Design (Overall Package and System Integration) Starting with this slide, add up to 6 slides of text, graphs, images, diagrams and equations to show how the engineering design process was followed on this system.
