SAE
Vehicle engineering organization
SAE is an abbreviation with several meanings depending on context.
In correspondence, it stands for self-addressed envelope—an envelope you've addressed to yourself for someone to mail back to you.
In automotive and engineering contexts, SAE refers to the Society of Automotive Engineers, whose standards govern measurements like oil viscosity: SAE 10W-40.
In education, SAE can mean Supervised Agricultural Experience, a student project component in agricultural programs.
