Meeting Place: Colorado School of Mines
The CTLM Building - Room 102

As many of you may already know, our national SAE organization sponsors collegiate team competition in the design and construction of several different types of mechanical devices. This competition is intended to give these young engineers an opportunity to experience many of the issues they will face as designers in the real world. Not only do the students have to face the technical trade offs that are always present in a design, but also they get early exposure to the importance of both budgets and schedules to their overall project.
Another requirement that each competing team must fulfill is a verbal presentation of their project program. Each presentation will provide an overview of their project goals, approaches taken in overcoming obstacles, accomplishments, and their ability to manage their project budget and schedule.
Come and join us at the Colorado School of Mines CTLM Lecture Hall for these presentations being made by our future outstanding engineers of Colorado. We will have several teams competing at this competition in all of the following events, Aero Lift, Mini-Baja (racing car), Formula SAE (racing car), and Walking Machine.
Come early for some pizza and pop in the foyer outside of the 102 Lecture Hall.
