2009 BAJA OREGON! Kudos to OSU Beaver Racing for yet another outstanding
performance at international competition! At last weekend’s 2009 Baja SAE
convocation in Portland and Washougal, WA, the team left all other comers in
the dust (both literally and figuratively), placing 1st in design,
1st and 2nd in dynamic events, 1st
and 2nd in endurance, and 1st and 3rd
overall. In the four individual dynamic events, the team placed 1st
and 2nd in rock crawl, 1st and 3rd in
hill climb, 2nd in maneuverability, and 3rd
and 6th in acceleration. The team also took 3rd
and 7th in marketing presentation. For their impressive set of
victories, the team received $6,000 in award moneys, not to mention an
impressive gallery of trophies and plaques and a continuing worldwide
reputation as The Team That Can’t Be Beat. Photos from this year’s event are
not yet available, but you can check for updates at the Baja SAE Web site here. AND KUDOS TO THE OSU
HUMAN POWERED VEHICLE TEAM WHO ALSO FINISHED IN
THE TOP 10! Congratulations to the OSU HPV team who recently competed in the 2009 ASME West Coast
HPV Challenge at the Tektronix campus in Beaverton. The team’s vehicle,
Endeavor, placed 8th in both
male and female sprint, 5th in the endurance race, and 8th overall. For photos of
this year’s competition, click

Go Beavs! JOIN
US FOR THE 10TH ANNUAL ENGINEERING EXPO THIS FRIDAY! The Engineering Expo takes over the Kelley Engineering Center this Friday, May 15th, 11 am–4 pm.
All are welcome to enjoy this spectacular event, which showcases over 100
senior design projects from all engineering majors, along with a variety of
other student projects and curricular innovations in the College of
Engineering. The Expo is a great opportunity for alumni and friends to
reconnect with OSU and check out the innovative approaches taken by students
throughout the CoE in tackling real-world engineering design problems. As an
all-ages event, it’s also an excellent opportunity to introduce K–12 students to
(or further acquaint them with) the world of engineering, science, and
technology. For more info, click
here. Questions? Contact Renie Ashbaugh
