SDC - 2012

2012 ASME Student Design Competition
Energy Relay

Providing energy to a world with a growing population and rising expectations is a challenge that engineers must embrace and solve. So many factors must be considered and balanced: cost, efficiency, resource availability, environmental impact, sustainability, and more. Many different potential solutions are being proposed and developed. While the winners have yet to be determined, it is safe to assume that the future will include a wide variety of solutions that together will power our planet.
Providing transportation energy is a major piece of the overall energy challenge, and is the focus of the 2012 Student Design Competition. Practicing engineers in transportation areas are developing a variety of technology options and looking to integrate these technologies. You must do the same for the competition.
