Popular Questions:

Can I Drive?

Everyone CAN drive but you will need to become a very active member of the organization and get experience within the team.

All underclassmen can have the opportunity to drive our go kart to get experience before driving our larger cars. 

What Majors Can Join?

All of our organizations are open to any major at the University. No matter what we could use your help!

Will Help Land a Job?

Yes! Many employers are looking for SAE experience as it is one of the most intensive and hard working organizations on campus.

Do I Need Any Experience?

No, we all joined with little to no experience. We have an onboarding to help bring you up to speed quickly but that is nowhere near all the information our members know. Always feel free to ask questions!

What is the Fee to Join?

There is NO FEE! Our business team is focused on funding the teams expenses. 

How can a Business Student Help?

We are a fully functioning business, if there is a major in Lindner for you, there will be a few job functions at the least that you can put on your resume. 

Can I Join From Another University?

We would love more help but unfortunately this is only open to students at the University of Cincinnati. 

How Big is the Team?

Each team has around 50 members! This can change up and down each year.
