ASME's International Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC) provides an opportunity for undergraduate engineering students to demonstrate the application of sound engineering design principles in the development of sustainable and practical transportation alternatives. In the HPVC, students work in teams to design and build efficient, highly engineered vehicles for everyday use—from commuting to work, to carrying goods to market. Though some Speed Class vehicles have topped 60 mph, the competition assigns greater value to the elegance and ingenuity of the design, including presentation, practicality, safety and functionality. The recently-introduced Unrestricted Class presents new opportunities for creativity and innovation, allowing teams to incorporate regenerative energy storage devices in their designs. For this thesis and senior capstone project, the senior design team will design and manufacture a human-powered vehicle by the 2011 Human Powered Vehicle Challenge date.
