do this with a few KEEN university partners as well. Individual teams would work to
implement their best solution but would also have to work together to determine internode communication protocols, etc. I would put up some small amount of money and a
standard set of parts to give to each team. Functional demos would be required next
April, and a mission using successful designs would be conducted in May or June.

- ASME Human Powered Vehicle Challenge
ASME's international Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC) provides an
opportunity for students to demonstrate the application of sound engineering design
principles in the development of sustainable and practical transportation alternatives.In
the HPVC, students work in teams to design and build efficient, highly engineered
vehicles for everyday usefrom commuting to work, to carrying goods to market.

- Solar water purification
The Solar Water Purification System utilizes the thermal energy from the sun, as well as
the generated electricity from a photovoltaic solar plate to purify brackish water into
clean, drinkable water. This purpose of this project is to supply clean water using
renewable energy. The major parts of the system involve a boiler, a solar collector, and a
condenser. Prior research used EES to code the entire process of the overall system. This
would allow us to change a single parameter, such as the flow rate of the HTF duratherm,
and observe how that would affect the output of water in the condenser or perhaps the
required heat to achieve a desired output. This project would be best for groups
interested in heat transfer design and thermal modeling and construction of a system.
