The competition will begin Friday, April 30 and will extend through the weekend. Every year in the spirit of friendly competition and hands on education, ASME sponsors a Human Powered Vehicle design competition at a selected university. Up to 40 schools from all over the nation enter their custom- designed vehicles in four different contests: design, spring, road- race, and practical. During the design competition, teams display their HPV in front of a panel of nine judges. Students and spectators have an opportunity to look at the different entries at this time. The spring portion consists of a long, straight road, closed to traffic, delineated into three sections: a spring run- up, a 100m time trap, and a braking area. The third category, practical vehicle, is when the vehicles must navigate through a series of obstacles, including ramps, bumps, and stop signs. The final event of the weekend is the road race competition. The course consists of a closed loop about one mile in length. Vehicles must complete approximately 40 laps during this competition. Team members on Tech's Human Powered Vehicle Team include team leader Jeff Schroetlin ( Sr, ME, Butte NE), Karen Carda ( So, ME, Hermosa), Ryan Lindquist ( Sr, ME, Grand Forks ND), Angela Swendsen ( So, IS, Rapid City), and faculty advisors Dr. Chris Jenkins, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and Dr. Carter Kerk, Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering. ++ 30++ ( I: univrel/ pressrel/ 0499 Human Powered Vehicle fxd stwd) |
