Interested? Submit a resume, cover letter and a letter of recommendation to Prof. Alan Sahakian no later than Friday, May 9.
WHAT IS the SAFECAR PROJECT?????
This project has been under development in the DSGN38 Multidisciplinary Design Projects II course, primarily focusing on the method to warm outside air to the 260° C required for the catalytic purification. The summer team will continue the development of this approach as well as investigate how to cool the air down again before it reaches the passengers. Students will perform such tasks as engineering analysis, particularly heat transfer analysis, electrical/electronic design, computer and physical modeling and testing. Mechanical or electrical systems and CAD skills will be beneficial. This project is for those who enjoy hands-on shop activities and working on cars. Significant mechanical modification of the vehicle as well as fabrication of prototype heat exchanger components, electronic circuits and mechanical systems will likely be required.

======================================
History
Each year, McCormick sophomores and juniors involved in a research project under the supervision of a regular McCormick faculty member are awarded grants. These grants, up to $5,000 each, may be used for student stipends, travel, equipment, or some combination. There is no restriction on the subject of the research.
The scope and budget of these projects are limited to a total budget of $5000. A title, one-page abstract, biography about the researcher(s), and one-page cumulative budget for the full duration of the project is required at time of submission for the grant. The budget need not be detailed but should be sufficient for reviewers to grasp the intended scale of the proposed project. Proposals should be e-mailed to Allison Berger at a-berger@northwestern.edu by March 30, 2008.
For more information or further details, contact Allison Berger at a-berger@northwestern.edu.
