The pressure was on,as students participating in the 8th Annual Chem-E-Car Competition - a highlight of the AIChE National Student Conference (Nov.11-13,2006;San Francisco,CA) - raced against the clock to optimize their cars after learning that this year's load was 10 mL of water and the target distance was 75 ft.For those unfamiliar with the event,students are given only one hour to tweak their shoe-box-sized cars,which are powered by a chemical or biological reaction.The competition consists of two runs,of which the best run is used to determine the winner of the competition.All award winners are listed in the box below.
