AIChE at UCLA: Chem-E-Car
Chem-E-Car is a project team under AIChE for chemical engineers to gain hands-on experience by building a car that starts and stops by chemical reaction for competition. The goal during the competition is for the car to stop closest to the marked distance while carrying a load. The distance and weight of the load are announced the day of the competition, one hour before the race.
In the 2012 Regional Competition, UCLA’s car, named the Ground Air Force One, placed third and qualified for the National Competition, which will take place this fall.
Any AIChE member is welcome to join the team – no experience is necessary. If interested, please email uclachemecar@gmail.com.
