CEAT Chem-E Car Competition

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

 The CEAT Chem-E Car Competition event is set for Tuesday, March 13 at the Wes Watkins center, with the poster presentation at 4:00 p.m., the car competition at 5:00 p.m., and a dinner and awards assembly at 6:30 p.m. The local competition is sponsored by Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP, and the public is welcome to attend.

The OSU Chem-E-Car project is a multi-semester project that involves sophomore, junior, and senior chemical engineering students (approximately 110 students total this year). The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) hosts a regional (at Washington University in St. Louis March 30-31) and national (Pittsburgh Oct. 28) competition in which students are charged with designing and constructing a chemical powered model car to carry a specified load over a given distance.

The top three qualifiers from the local competition go on to compete at the regional competition and the top three qualifiers at the regional competition go on to compete at the national competition. Come out and support our Chemical Engineering students as they compete for top honors!
