Currently, our most popular project is the Human Powered Vehicle Competition (HPVC). This year's design consisted of a tandem bicycle ridden by two people, one in front and one in back. Our team was the only school to enter a tandem bicycle in the competition. The design for the HPVC 2010 competition is currently in progress.

Every year, students have the opportunity to participate in a Student Design Competition (SDC) at ASME's annual Student Professional Development Conference (SPDC). This year's project is "EARTH SAVER: Autonomous Material Sorter". Project details are available here.

One of the benefits of being a registered ASME Student Member is the opportunity to attend and compete in the projects mentioned and travel to ASME conferences.

The latest addition to club opportunities are volunteer projects in the community and elsewhere. We are currently working on collaborating with Engineers Without Borders (EWB) to provide the opportunity for a engineering-based volunteer project abroad.

Information on local volunteer opportunities will be posted soon. Please check back with us regularly.

It is very important that students have as much industry exposure as possible. This provides students with crucial connections for internships and job opportunities after graduation. It also helps to broaden the knowledge of career opportunities for mechanical engineers for students who are still deciding what their career goals are.

Industry Shadow Days and Tours are vital to this mission. They help to create an environment where engineering students can meet and interact with industry representatives outside of the classroom. There is much to learn from experienced engineers who share their history and provide important advice and mentorship for students.
