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.
