Introducing the Design to AIChE Experts

    Chem-E-Car is an annual college competition for students majoring in Chemical Engineering organized by AIChE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers). It is aimed at proving the creative imagination and practice ability of chemical engineering students. On December, 2016, the committee of Chem-E-Car of Chinese College Students was established and since then, Chinese Chem-E-Car competition was launched. This year, students from twenty colleges and universities participated the competition. The contest includes poster and running race. College students must design small-scale automobiles that operate by chemical means, along with a poster describing their research. They must drive their car a fixed distance down a wedge-shaped course in order to demonstrate its capabilities. The size of designed cars cannot exceed certain specifications and cars must operate using green methods, which do not release any pollution or waste in the form of a visible liquid or gas, such as exhaust.
