COMPETITION TEAMS

The six Rose-Hulman ATS competition teams have a heritage of winning – both on the track and in the workplace. Accolades include:

 
DBF (Design-Build-Fly Team)
The Design-Build-Fly team competes in annual international student design competitions. Over the years, the team has successfully created aircraft to serve as: a platform for multiple sensors, a reconfigurable short field transport, and an unmanned surveillance/attack aircraft. Team members are drawn from a variety of disciplines, and underclassmen are encouraged to join the senior-led team.

Mentor: Dr. Calvin Lui
 

 
HPVT (Human Powered Vehicle Team)
The Human Powered Vehicle Team has dominated the ASME competition for the last three years, earning the Overall Champion rank for both the East and West Coast finals. The 2011 West coast competition will be hosted by Rose-Hulman and held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Rose-GPE (Grand Prix Engineering Team)
As RHIT’s newest team, ROSE-GPE seeks to push the boundaries of undergraduate open-wheel racing in Formula SAE competitions through rigorous modeling and refinement of vehicle dynamics and engine performance. Students get a full range of engineering experience managing, designing, building, testing, and refining their vehicle under the pressures of multiple responsibilities and deadlines.

Mentor: Dr. Patrick Cunningham
