ChemE Car
Currently, we are working to incorporate the ChemE car into the senior engineering product design course. We would also like to involve interested Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors. Don't worry if you haven't taken many ChemE classes yet; we're all doing this car for the first time.
Description from www.AIChE.org:
Team members design and construct a chemically powered vehicle within certain size constraints. This vehicle must be designed to also carry a specified cargo. The teams will be told at the time of the competition the distance that the car must travel and the specified cargo that the vehicle will carry. Entries deemed unsafe by the judges will be disqualified. The winner will be determined by a combined score, for traveling the correct distance, and for creativity. Teams compete at the regional conferences, and the winner of each regional conference will compete at the national conference.
Award:
Regional first and second prize winners receive $200 and $100, respectively. Regional prize winners compete at the national Student Conference. National first, second and third prizes will be $2000, $1000, and $500 respectively.
