[AIChE] Spring Chem-E-Car Sign-Ups

[Alan Rempel]

ChemEs,

TL;DR - If you're interested in working on the Chem-E-Car, please respond
to this email with the times you're available (please give me at least 4-6
hours/week). I'd prefer to have them by Monday.

For those who don't know, AIChE's Chem-E-Car project is an annual
competition engaging college students in designing and constructing a car
powered by a chemical energy source, which will safely carry a specified
load over a given distance and stop. It's an exercise in process design and
control, and it's a good way to get a feel for some of the concerns
chemical engineers face in the industry.

The Fall team made good progress on an alkaline-battery powered design, but
most of the physical construction is still ahead of us. We could really use
some help putting it together and testing it.

Time commitment is between *4-6 hours/week*, depending on what we can get
done. This year's car will compete at the Regional Conference at the
University of Maryland *April 11th*. We would HUGELY appreciate if you were
able to see the project through until then. We'll start working on it as
soon as I get enough responses (so REPLY please). I'll choose meeting times
that give maximum attendance.

There are quite a few non-technical roles available if you haven't taken
many chemE classes yet (freshmen, sophomores). We need at least:

   - One person on Materials Acquisition (orders supplies, keeps track of
   inventory)
   - One Safety/Regulation Officer to make absolutely sure we're in line
   with AIChE rules
   - General lab and machining help
   - As many motivated troubleshooters as we can get

To those of you who dropped the project in the Fall, it'd be great to see
you guys come back. We miss you.

If you have any interest in or questions about the project, send me an
email.

Let's beat NJIT,

Alan Rempel
