Grove City College is the proud home of a team of students regularly competing in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Baja races. These events challenge student teams to design an off-road car to meet a set of rules, present their designs and cost reports to judges, and race their car against 100 other teams from across the nation.
The Baja team also hosts a race each fall in Butler where they invite many teams within a several-hour radius of the college for a Saturday of fun and competition.
The Society of Automotive Engineers was founded to promote pride and professionalism in the engineering field. The society is open to all engineering majors and meetings are held weekly.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers is the professional organization for mechanical engineers. The student sector at Grove City College strives to provide an opportunity for students to begin their professional careers by joining a professional engineering society; to inform students of recent developments in the field through publications, field trips, and meetings; and to promote fellowship and interaction with other mechanical engineers. The club sponsors meetings with speakers from industry and academia, field trips to local companies, and attendance at conferences which often have competitions.
Engineers with a Mission was founded by students in 2020. Their goal is to utilize the technical skills of our members for meaningful service projects. Whether it’s designing innovative solutions, implementing sustainable technologies, or collaborating on community-driven projects, students are committed to applying their technical expertise to address pressing societal needs.
Recently completed projects include:
The Society of Women Engineers is a national organization for women in engineering and other related sciences. The focus is to encourage women to achieve their full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, to lend support to academic pursuits, and to promote interests in the areas of engineering and the sciences. The activities of the group include campus and community events such as dinners, field trips, invited speakers, and visits to senior high school classes. All women in engineering and sciences are invited to join.
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers advances technology to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world. Membership is open to any person associated with the field.
