BIG CHANGES TO CDS COMING
NEXT YEAR
AS THE WORLD EMBRACES THE NEW
REALITY OF COVID-19into 2021, SAE
International wants to ensure you that we
are moving forward with plans to allow
continued student engagement in a
controlled manner to meet all the necessary
precautions of the pandemic and still
deliver on strong educational experiences
for your teams.
We know that planning for a typical
competition year is not an option. More

semester are operating either 100%
virtually or with a hybrid model. Spring
semesters are either reported as going virtual or TBD. In addition,
85% of CDS teams have reported that their funding is secured but
now in jeopardy, or not secured at all.
In response, our plan is to deliver both static and dynamic
events at most 2021 competitions, with different arrangements and
scoring for each of the competitions (SAE Aero Design, Baja SAE,
SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge, Formula SAE, and SAE
Supermileage). For example, the SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge
(CSC) will be run as a 100% virtual event, whereas the others will
include a dynamic component. (Venue policy is one reason CSC will
be virtual-only in 2021.) Check the relevant SAE websites for
details.
Far be it from me to claim my disappointment regarding
cancellation of dynamic events at many 2020 CDS competitions
exceeds that of student participants. That said, I as MOMENTUM
editor do feel a bit "robbed" by the pandemic of the chance to see
firsthand the anxiety + excitement with which students take care of
business on the CDS outdoor competition grounds. Their intensity is
palpable. I can't wait for the 2021 CDS dynamic competitions!
A pleasant surprise for me in the face of COVID-19 was the
willingness of students to submit articles to momentum@sae.org
despite the deep disappointment. Really good stuff! I encourage all
teams to submit an article about their vehicle and/or team. I believe
every team has a story worth telling. For story ideas, check out the
Student Generation department in this issue to see what some other
students wrote about and how they put their articles together. And
be sure to read next month's issue to find out which student won
this year's MOMENTUM article contest.

SAE International Sections
SAE International sections are local units comprised of 100 or more SAE International members
in a defined technical or geographic area. The purpose of local sections is to meet the technical,
developmental, and personal needs of the SAE members in a given area. For more information,
please visit sae.org/participate/membership/sections.
SAE International Collegiate Chapters
Collegiate Chapters are a way for SAE International student members to get together on their
campus and develop skills in a student-run and -elected environment. Student Members are vital
to the continued success and future of SAE. While your course work teaches you the engineering
knowledge you need, participation in your SAE collegiate chapter can develop or enhance other
important skills, including leadership, time management, project management, communications,
organization, planning, delegation, budgeting, and finance. For more information, or for how to
find your local chapter, please visit students.sae.org/chapters/collegiate/.
