Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 09-Dec-2011
Limited to 20 participants.
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers holds a yearly design competition for students to apply their knowledge of engineering principles to solve design challenges. This year's competition is the "Energy Rally." Each team is required to design and manufacture 4 devices that use different forms of energy, and work sequentially in order to complete a race. MIT ASME will assist in designing and offer assistance in manufacturing. Throughout IAP teams (of 4) will meet independently, with occasional group meetings and consultations with experienced faculty/staff/ and students. Successful teams will have the chance to attend the Student Professional Development Conference (SDPC) at Yale University in April, in order to compete in the competition. Regional Winners attend the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition free of charge in April, in Texas. Students of all disciplines are invited to participate.
