Bicycle Design Challenge

“Leading the team in the 6th and 7th editions of the SAEISS Bicycle Design Challenge was a remarkable experience that strengthened my technical and leadership skills. Designing and fabricating an eco-friendly bamboo bicycle gave me hands-on exposure to sustainable materials, structural analysis, and real-world engineering challenges. The teamwork, innovation, and practical learning gained through BDC helped me align my knowledge with industry trends and enhanced my professional growth.”

“Thanks to SAEINDIA Southern Section for organizing the BDC competition. The event gave us an opportunity to convert our innovative idea into a fully functional bicycle prototype. By understanding the rulebook and technical requirements, we gained valuable insights not found in academic textbooks. The fabrication phase challenged us to apply design thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills effectively. This journey enhanced our knowledge in product design, development, and real-time engineering applications. The entire experience transformed our academic learning into practical understanding and boosted our confidence to take up future challenges in the automotive industry and secure placements in leading OEMs.”
