The SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge Club is a engineering design
competition team striving to create a cleaner, quieter, and more fuel
efficient snowmobile while maintaining both power and maneuverability. As part of this course you will be a member
of the club and participate in a competition project. This course aims to develop
technical skills in design, experimental work, and simulation.
This
course also has a strong focus on engineering soft skills, such as:
teamwork, leadership, project management, written and oral
communication, record-keeping, and professionalism.
