Dallas student wins at engineering forum A student from Dallas was part of a team of students from North- eastern University that took top honors at the national Chem-E- Car competition at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) national conference held last month in Nashville. Matched up against 30 teams from colleges across the country, 10 Northeastern students, includ- ing Patrick McMahon from Dal- las, earned the first place prize of $2,000, as well as the judges’ ac- colades. McMahon graduated from Lake-Lehman High School in 05 and is the team captain. The team’s car, “The Aluminator,” took nearly a year to build and was powered by an environmen- tally clean hydrogen fuel cell. The students’ challenge was to design a car that would be both powered and controlled by chem- ical reactions.
