The
'Mighty Mutts'
In the
2005 SAE Aero East National Student Competition,
our student team placed 11th out of 30 teams. Faculty advisor:
Dr. Donna J. Michalek.
The Aero
Design® Competition challenges engineering students to
conceive, design, fabricate, and test a radio controlled aircraft
that can take off and land while carrying the maximum cargo.
This gives students the opportunity to apply the knowledge
learned in the classroom on a practical problem.
In 2004
the Michigan Tech Aero Design Team placed 9th overall in the
East competion and 10th overall in the West where they lifted
20.95 lbs, a new record for the team.
They received
the award for the best design report in the West and their
total design score for report, plans, payload prediction,
and presentation was 3rd overall.
