Volunteer Opportunity Details

Opportunity Overview

AIChE's Chem-E-Car Competition® engages college students in designing and constructing a car powered by a chemical energy source, that will safely carry a specified load over a given distance and stop.  The competition, which involves multiple regional competitions and a final competition at the Annual Student conference, increases awareness of the chemical engineering discipline among the public, industry leaders, educators, and other students.  AIChE is looking for a volunteer to be the Chem-E-Car Poster Competition Chair which is taking place at 3:30PM - 7:30PM on Saturday October 28, 2017 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, Exhibit Hall C.
