Oregon State University
The Society of Automotive Engineers organize a competition open to all Universities around the world.  It is held during the month of May in Detroit, Michigan.  This car was designed and built as part of my senior year project.  Our team had 8 members who spent many hours throughout the year in the shop to complete this car.  In only the second year Oregon State University placed 7th out of 88 schools.  The cars are judged in 4 dynamic events and 3 static events.  There are very few rules, therefore giving students the great flexibility and allowing their creative side to show.
