The meeting will feature guest speakers Bret Irvin and Hector Munoz from BNSF Railway. The BNSF network covers two thirds of western of the United States. It plays a vital role in the U.S. economy, hauling the products consumers use every day and the raw materials manufacturers need to make those products.

For those of you not yet aware, our very own KSU Aero design team placed first at their competition in California. They competed against 26 other teams and came out on top by lifting their predicted 20.72lb in a mere four takeoffs. The aero team is comprised of the following team members (* indicates West Competition attendance):
Congratulations guys!

Just a reminder, don't miss this week's general meeting. We have a great speaker, Dr. Sankar Mohan PhD, lined up for you. Dr. Sankar Mohan leads the Advanced Engineering Group at the New Process Gear division of Magna Powertrain in Syracuse, New York. He earned his Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology and his Doctorate from Syracuse University. He specializes in automotive Drivetrain and Traction Control areas. During his twenty years in the automotive industry, he has been awarded over 30 US and international patents in the Drive Train Area and his technical articles have been published in many journals including SAE, ASME and GPC. His presentation is titled "Designing, Modeling and Testing of Modern AWD/4WD Drivetrain Elements and Systems."
Dr. Mohan has also expressed that career opportunities are available at Magna Powertrain. If you are interested, you should e-mail your resume to him at sankar.mohan@magnapowertrain.com
In other news, the new formula site is online. You can check it out here. Please let me know if you have any suggestions/problems.

Load times should now be considerably faster. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.
The new formula site is coming along much quicker than I thought it would. Expect a live version sometime next week.
And most importantly, don't miss the presentation next week at the general meeting. Dr. Sankar Mohan will be presenting over AWD/4WD dynometer testing.
Kyle 2.27.07
Well, it's done. I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about it. Comments, criticisms, suggestions... I'm all ears.
Oh, and you should upgrade if you haven't already.
Next up is a new Formula site. Stay tuned...

SAE is the "premier society dedicated to advancing mobility engineering worldwide." 90,000 strong, we are a wonderful resource with great benefits for our members.
We take an unbelievably light plane and carry an unbelievably hefty payload. Then we redesign it so it's even lighter. And we have fun doing it. If you're looking for aerospace at KSU, this is where it's at.
What do you get when you cross a go-cart with a sportbike, throw some engineering students at it, and make it look like a mini-F1 car? A Formula SAE competition car! Sound fun?
Who needs finesse when you've got brute strength? Our goal is simple: have fun and most likely break some stuff doing it. If that's your idea of fun too, check us out. You'll be glad you did.
