CSU Students Take First Place In Human-Powered Vehicle Utility Competition

Colorado State University's mechanical engineering team has placed first in the Human Powered Vehicle utility competition for the third year in a row. Human Powered Vehicles are aerodynamic, highly engineered "super bikes" that may be used on land, in the water or in the air. Some land-based vehicles have achieved speeds of more than 60 mph. The April competition, sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, encourages students to design a vehicle that can be used for everyday activities such as commuting to and from work and going to the grocery store.

CSU Students Win Top Prize at Space Research Symposium

UAV The unmanned aerial vehicle team from Colorado State University took home the grand prize at the 2008 Undergraduate Space Research Symposium sponsored by the Colorado Space Grant Consortium. The team - mechanical engineering seniors Allison Porter, Chris Lawhorn and Grant Rhodes - designed and constructed a low-cost, durable, robotic airplane capable of taking pictures of predetermined locations. Although components for this type of project typically cost several thousand dollars, the team developed their unmanned aerial vehicle for $1,100.
