Wergelis-Isaacson, Gnanadesikan Somasundaram Faculty Advisor: Sarah Rooney Sponsor: Go Get ‘Dem Wheelchair Racing Club Go Ge ‘Dem Wheelchair Racing Club was established in 2012 to improve the lives of disabled persons in Ghana, with a specific focus on disabled youth in rural parts of the country. The club uses sport as a tool to empower youth and adults from beginners to elite racers to set goals, build a social network, travel, train, compete and live fulfilling lives. Secondary aims include changing the public perception about disabled persons and developing internationally competitive wheelchair racing athletes from Ghana. As such, the club often collaborates with the National Paralympic Committee to promote Paralympic sports in the country and the West African sub-region. The club has also been introduced to the International Paralympic Committee and will continue to develop a strong working relationship with this important group.

SESSION 05
Room 124, 4:00–6:00 pm
Evaluators: Alexis Slupe, Jack Craft, Rob Morgan, Ben Greenspan, Erik Johnson, Paul Costello, Adam Bitar, Taylor Boyle, Bill Fagerstrom Moderator: Prof. Steve Timmins
Formula SAE 2016 Senior Design
Team Members: Cory Dodd, Nicholas Geneva, Jason Hammond, Lexi Fader, Anthony Feola, Sam Fowler, Patrick Geneva, Angelo Glover, Tyler Gravatt, Chad Mayhew, Garrett McKay, Cory Morris, Stephen Popiel, Monte Taylor, Joel Tylecki, Tyker Urbaniak Faculty Advisor: Prof. Steve Timmins
The goal of Formula SAE is to take the Engineering curriculum and apply it to a real-world industrial problem by building a prototype race car for a fictional single entry series. Student’s cars are not only judged based on their performance, but also the Engineering decisions the students have made in their design, weighing performance versus cost and reliability. Formula SAE challenges students to design a car that is quick, reliable, fuel efficient, and cost effective. Formula SAE was established at the University of Delaware in 1996. The team has competed in over 10 Formula SAE competitions and dozens of local autocrosses sanctioned by the SCCA. 17
