The students also raced the chemical car they designed and built. The University of Colorado at Boulder hosted the event. The conference featured paper presentations, the Chem-E-Car poster and performance competitions and the Odyssey of the Mind competition. Nine Tech students attended. They all competed in the Odyssey of the Mind competition, hosted by the Johns Manville Corporation. The competitors were provided with a sample of product material and technical product data and given two hours to suggest potential applications for the material. Company representatives then chose the best team ideas and may explore eventual marketing. The Tech team won first place in the competition. The team entered a hydrogen powered fuel cell model car in the race. The team placed fifth. "The car was the only fuel cell powered vehicle and the students received many accolades for their vehicle body design and reaction power source, " team advisor Dr. David Dixon said. Dixon is an associate professor in Tech's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. "The team learned a lot and is anticipating a strong showing at future competitions." The team: Kevin Jordahl, Chemical Engineering, Yankton Bob Cunningham, Chemical Engineering, Mitchell Mike Stratton, Chemical Engineering, Brooklyn Park, Minn.
