- Our primary focus this year is to participate in the SAE Baja competition (http://students.sae.org/competitions/bajasae/), to be held on May 2, 2012 in Portland, OR. The task is to design and construct an off-road dune buggy. The judges will be basing their rankings on such things as efficiency, race time, written proposal, design, and cost.
- We also plan to work with local civil engineer Tex Lewis to construct another Clear Creak bridge in Silverdale, WA.
- Recently, our projects have included trips to Boeing's Everett Aircraft Plant, ensuring a steady supply of coffee to the engineering students, assisting the county in the construction of a bridge and conducting our yearly "Dunk Your Professors" fund raiser.
