Baja SAE is an intercollegiate design competition run by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and had its humble beginnings in mid-1970's, 1976 to be precise, with the maiden competition supervised by Dr. J. F. Stevens. Since then, the competition has elevated to become the venue for engineering design series for university teams. Universities from around the world take part in this event, constructing small off-road vehicles that are strong and durable enough to withstand the harshest elements of rough terrain. The participating cars use the same engines of the same specifications, which as of 2002, is an unmodified Briggs & Stratton Intek 20 with a power output of approximately 7.5 kW(=10 bhp).

The BAJA SAE Water Event, formerly known as the Mini Baja East, was first held in 1976 at the University of South Carolina (in Jackson, SC) with 10 competing teams amd 90 participating students. The Baja SAE, formerly Midwest Mini Baja, began in 1978 at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The former Mini Baja West competition was also held in 1978 and was hosted by the Arizona State University in Phoenix, Arizona. Several competitions are also conducted outside North America, first of which was the Baja SAE Brazil in 1995 with 8 teams of 50 students competing in the event. The Baja SAE events in Korea and South Africa followed with the former having 46 teams and was held in Yeungnam University, while the latter was hosted by the University of Pretoria, Pretoria with 4 registered teams. The first Baja SAE competition in the 21st century took place in 2006 at the Hockenheimring, Hockenheim, Germany with 40 registered teams and 654 partcipating students.
