Anderson is a freshman, mechanical engineering major. Tech's Mini- Indy team competed at the National Formula SAE competition May 19- 23 in Pontiac, Michigan. They finished in 42nd place out of 110 registered schools. While coming out in the middle of the pack, Tech's student team was just one of 35 to finish all events. " Not many schools finish all of the events, " said faculty advisor Dan Dolan. " These guys did so, that should say something about the quality of the car built, " he added. Vehicles are judged in four driving events that include autocross, endurance, skid pad, and acceleration. Teams are also judged on cost report, design presentation, and marketing presentation. The focus of the Mini- Indy is not simply on who can build the fastest car but rather on the use of engineering skills, financial know- how, and creativity. The competition's primary objectives are to provide students with a meaningful project experience in their engineering program, to prepare engineers for the auto industry, and to bring new ideas on safety, economy and performance into automobiles. Mini- Indy team members with their majors and hometowns include: team leader Jamey Backus, mechanical engineering, Beulah ND; John Fiedler, mechanical engineering, Glenham; Jason Hornecker, mechanical engineering, Lander WY; Sergio Gonzalez, mechanical engineering, Spain; Trygre Trovick, mechanical engineering, Norway; Tom Batho, mechanical engineering, Sioux Falls; Dan Ring, metallurgical engineering, Norris; Melinda Walberg, industrial engineering, St Joseph MI; Ben Short, mechanical engineering, Sturgis; Roy Reiss, mechanical engineering, Java; Forrest Foster, mechanical engineering, Oral; and Adam McMahon, mechanical engineering, Pierre. Dan Dolan, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, is the faculty advisor. ++ 30++ ( I: univrel/ pressrel/ 0599 Mini Indy results local Buffalo WY) |
