OSU Center for Automotive Research Tour
Hello Engineering Explorers!
Next Tuesday's meeting--13 February 2007--will begin at The Ohio State University, Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, 590 Woody Hayes Dr., Columbus, OH 43210-1058.
We will start at 6:00 pm, with pizza in room 103.
At 6:30 we hop on a campus bus over to the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) at 930 Kinnear Rd. Here's a link to CAR's website to whet your excitement:

The project leaders--engineering students at Ohio State--will present three student-led projects at CAR:
Challenge X works to develop more fuel-efficient vehicles using advanced vehicle technologies while maintaining the safety, performance, utility and consumer appeal of the vehicle.

Mini Baja is an interdisciplinary student project whose goal is to design, build, and race an off-road vehicle in the Society of Automotive Engineers' (SAE) Mini Baja Design Competition.

The Buckeye Bullet is the fastest electric vehicle ever recorded: 321.834 mph!

By 8:20 we should be back on the campus bus to arrive at Ag Engineering at 8:30 pm. (We will probably travel an average speed of 15 mph.)
This is certain to be another great meeting! The student leaders will give a quick introduction to the projects and the cars--and then fire 'em up for a short demo/drive. You can also hop in to see how these vehicles look and feel inside.
NO! I DON'T THINK YOU CAN TAKE THEM FOR A SPIN--IF THEY LET US I AM FIRST IN LINE!
Don't forget to send me an e-mail reply by Monday afternoon, 12 February 2007, so that we may provide enough food for everyone to get a piece of pizza.
Also, absolutely, positively make certain that you park ONLY in the parking spaces labeled "C/Student." These are marked with green signs.
See you next Tuesday evening!
