Student Sections Competition | This
contest is jointly sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International
(ASME) and the Ingersoll-Rand Corporation. The
fundamental purpose of the Ingersoll-Rand Contest is to encourage engineering
students to be total professionals by participating in technical events that expand
on their academic pursuits, by building character toward good citizenship, and
by learning more about real world engineering. It recognizes those student sections
that show outstanding achievement in the manner by which they conduct their affairs.
A comprehensive set of variables is considered when evaluating student section
effectiveness. Each variable is weighted, and the strength of a section is determined
by the total number of points accumulated. A good section is one that exhibits
a wide diversity of activities. Rules

Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPV) | Human
Powered Vehicles are aerodynamic, highly engineered vehicles that may be for use
on land, in the water or the air. Some land-based HPV's have achieved speeds of
over 60 mph. ASME sponsors the Human Powered Vehicle Competition in hopes of finding
a design that can be used for everyday activities ranging from commuting to and
from work to going to the grocery store. Senior engineering students can use this
competition for their capstone project and with their efforts design and construct
a fast, sleek, and safe vehicle capable of road use. The
point of the competition is the elegance and ingenuity of the design, including
presentation, practicality and safety. All areas of engineering problem-solving
are addressed - it's not as simple as it appears to design and build these vehicles.
And the competition itself is great fun for the team.
