What is Member Connection?
Member Connection is an online discussion forum for SAE Members, both professionals and students. This is where members ask technical questions for intelligent debate and discussion. The SAE Student Community is a discussion forum within Member Connection just for student members to ask questions about your senior projects, get feedback from other teams participating in an SAE Collegiate Design Series competition, or talk about your professional career aspirations. This is also where the Membership Team will occasionally share benefits, awards, and scholarships available to student members.

Whether you are looking to join the auto, aero, or commercial vehicle industries, SAE International brings together all mobility engineers. Enroll in the SAE Mentor Program and get connected with mobility engineers to learn more on leadership skills, technical knowledge, or other soft skills.
This program is designed to be more personalized to you, such as being matched with another SAE Member based on your preferences and interests (or you can choose your own mentor), as well as a guided mentoring plan with recommended steps and goals.
