A team of students from UAH placed fourth in the 18th annual Chem-E-Car Competition®, hosted by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) and held on Sunday, Nov. 13, in conjunction with the AIChE’s annual meeting in San Francisco. More than 40 collegiate teams – including, for the first time, 10 international teams – participated in the competition, which requires students to design and build a small car powered by a chemical reaction and able to carry a specified load over a given distance and stop.
