For the second year running, a City College of New York team of student engineers is back from AIChE’s Chem-E- Car Competition in San Francisco with the Spirit of Competition Award. In addition, “Iodonator – C8,” the latest chemical powered vehicle designed by Grove School of Engineering undergraduates, placed 11th in the Chem-E-Car performance competition.
There were entries from more than 40 student teams globally that had qualified for the event held during AIChE’s Annual Student Conference at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. Iodonator qualified for the finals after winning the Mid-Atlantic regional competition.
The objective of the Chem-E-Car competition is to build a car, the size of a shoebox, which runs and stops at a precise distance via one or more chemical reactions. Iodine is one of the chemicals used by the CCNY students to run their invention, and a source of its name.
