What you'd be backing

Four engineering teams

Baja SAE We design, build and race a single-seat off-road vehicle for the Baja SAE collegiate series: frame, suspension, steering, braking and drivetrain, built by students in Boston College's shops. 13 people
AeroEagles AeroEagles will design, manufacture, test, launch and safely recover a reusable high-powered rocket carrying an autonomous payload. After landing, the payload finds a passive visual target and measures its distance without GPS. 9 people
Combat Robotics We design, manufacture, program and compete combat robots: weapons, drive systems and armor that have to survive the arena. 13 people
AI Safety We study how to make AI systems safe and accountable through technical research, responsible development practice and governance. 6 people

Why it matters

Why industry support matters

Boston College has launched its first undergraduate engineering degree. Student teams are where that education meets deadlines, budgets and real hardware.

Members learn to operate within deadlines, defend technical decisions and collaborate across disciplines, which mirrors what industry expects. Support from working engineers and companies is what lets a young program take on projects at this scale.

What members work on

Avionics
CAD
Drivetrain
Fabrication
Marketing
Outreach
Payload
Recovery
Research
Roll cage
Scheduling
Software
Steering & braking
