Advanced Energy Vehicle Competitions

Enjoy engineering, advanced energy vehicles and fun at two special first-year engineering competitions!

The Advanced Energy Vehicle (AEV) Project is an energy and environment design-and-build project for first-year engineering students that challenges them to create an Advanced Energy Vehicle transportation system. This year, students were tasked with creating an AEV that will be used at Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park wants to re-open its doors to visitors after being dormant and is looking for a monorail transportation system to transport its visitors into the park safely via a green, energy efficient and cost-effective system.

The university community and public are welcome to attend two special events on April 17 and 20, which showcase the efforts of these undergraduate engineers. Both events will include poster and/or video presentations, as well as live AEV competitions and demonstrations.

AEV Showcase and Competition 

Advanced Energy Vehicle showcase and competition for first-year engineering students

Monday, April 20, 2014 
10:00 am - 2:00 pm - AEV Showcase & Judging
2:00 - 4:00 pm - AEV Performance Track Competition
5:30 - 6:30 pm - Awards Ceremony
 

Where:
Physics Research Building Atrium, 191 W. Woodruff Ave., Columbus, OH 43210

Please join us for the Fundamentals of Engineering Advanced Energy Vehicle Showcase and Competition on April 20. At this event, top teams of first-year engineering students will showcase their Advanced Energy Vehicle projects. These vehicles are the result of their semester-long design-build project in Engineering 1182, Introduction to Engineering II. This event will include poster and/or video presentation by student teams, as well as a live competition to determine which AEV is the most innovative, most creative, best engineered and best performing. Visitors will have the opportunity to interact with student teams and EEIC/First-year Engineering Program staff.
