On Friday, June 5, the Freshmen Design class taught by M. Ani Hsieh, Ph.D. held a race to put their projects to the test. The TA for the class is Katie Jo Sunday.
The Paper Bike Race featured human transport mechanisms designed by freshmen COE students made entirely of paper and glue. The objective was to design and build a fully working paper vehicle. The course encouraged students to think of creative ways to design and build conventional mechanisms using non-conventional materials.
The winners of the race were:
Ryan Gasparini
James Schwab
Niles Arner
