The vehicles, which will be on display in the Pride Hanger, include the Concrete Canoe, Mini- Baja, Mini- Indy, and Solar Car. Students and faculty advisors will be on- hand to answer any questions. SDSM& T's Concrete Canoe team competed in the National Concrete Canoe Competition held June 17- 19 in Melbourne, Florida. Racing their concrete canoe Chameleon, they designed, built and marketed to a panel of judges, Tech's student team finished in 5th place overall at the competition. 1999 marks the fourth time SDSM& T has finished in the top five in the national competition. The Mini- Baja student team competed in the Western Competition April 15- 17, 1999 at Kansas State University. The intercollegiate Mini- Baja competition involves real- world engineering design projects in which each student team designs, builds, and races a four- wheel, off- road recreation vehicle. The Mini- Indy or Formula SAE vehicle competed at the National Formula SAE competition May 19- 23, 1999 in Pontiac, Michigan. Vehicles were judged in four driving events that included autocross, endurance, skid pad, and acceleration. The primary goal of the competition is 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. SDSM& T's Solar Motion Team will be displaying their solar- powered racecar, Dakota Heat. The team recently competed in Sunrayce ' 99 – the nation's largest solar- powered car race – June 20- 29 from Washington, D. C. to Orlando, Florida. Sunrayce is a biennial intercollegiate competition to design, build and race cars powered solely by electricity from solar panels.
