Description:
SAE Supermileage is a challenging international design competition for engineering and technology students. It involves design, and construction of a single-person fuel-efficient vehicle. The goal is to obtain the highest MPG across a specified course. All vehicles will use the same engine donated by sponsors of the competition. The difference shows up in the design of the vehicle itself. For the first time, Texas A&M University has recruited an all-women team by the name Women in Engineering TAMU to participate in the competition. The team consists of female students from various engineering departments working together to come up with the design of the vehicle and constructing it. This and similar other projects pave the way for female students to become aware of their competencies and to gain the confidence for their future career goals.
