Prompt #5 Observing Community

By Ryan Loveland





Michigan State University Baja Racing
During my time at Michigan State University I joined the Baja Racing Team. They build a new mini Baja car every year. From designing the vehicle, it to welding the chassis together they build the entire thing. After the car is completed and has passed inspection they compete in tournaments and events hosted by SAE international. The events all include three major components: statics, dynamics, and endurance all of which subject the car to extreme stress.

The team represents themselves more
formally towards the general public than the team. You can see in this video “The Making of Cerberus 2014” that all of the members talking are dressed in MSU green collard shirts. However, when going to the shop it is much less formal in the ways they talk and dress. For the first week there was even a “jorts only rule” at the shop. The meetings are also informal
and just cover what’s going on and what’s next, and incase any of the members can’t make it, they always send out an email about the meeting.

  1. This is a very good club to be apart of in college, companies will love that their upcoming employees are getting hands on experience. This club is going to teach you many skills that can inly be learned from on the job experience. You will have a head start on other students who are not getting this experience.
