The Chem-E Car Competition is an annual collegiate competition that challenges students to design and construct a small, chemically-powered car. The competition is organized by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) and is typically held as part of the AIChE Annual Student Conference or the AIChE Annual Meeting.

The goal of the Chem-E Car Competition is to encourage students to apply their knowledge of chemical engineering principles to design a car that can safely carry a specified load over a certain distance. The unique aspect of the competition is that the car must be powered by one or more chemical reactions rather than traditional fuel sources such as gasoline or electricity.

Each team participating in the competition must design and build a car that meets certain constraints and requirements provided by the competition organizers. These constraints may include limitations on the size and weight of the car, the maximum amount of reactants used, and safety regulations. The specific details of the competition can vary from year to year.

During the competition, teams present their cars to a panel of judges and demonstrate their car's ability to carry a specified load. The distance the car must travel is usually not disclosed until the actual competition day, adding an element of unpredictability. The teams must calculate and control the chemical reaction(s) in their car to stop it as close as possible to the finish line without going over.

The Chem-E Car Competition encourages students to think creatively, apply engineering principles, and develop practical solutions for real-world challenges. It provides an opportunity for students to showcase their technical skills, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities within the field of chemical engineering.

You are invited to join the NCE Co-op Mentor Match Program!

This mentorship program has been established to connect NCE undergraduate freshmen participating in the co-op track with professional alumni mentors.

Each mentee will be matched with a mentor. Students are generally matched with a mentor whose professional background or prior mentorship experience aligns most closely with the mentee's field of interest.

Joining Co-op Mentor Match offers you the opportunity to:

• Share your experience and advice with current students who are seeking or are currently enrolled in a co-op experience;
• Participate in a 3-month structured mentorship program for co-op students;
• Post special co-op opportunities just for NJIT students;
• Participate in co-op-only networking events to recruit co-op students to your company; and participate in alumni panel discussions about current topics in your industry.

Important things to note:

• Students are undergraduate engineering freshmen
• Matching will be based on a combination of factors including preferences selected by mentees, overlap in interests and background identified in program registration questions.
• You will receive an email notification once you are matched with your mentor or mentee. Please respond promptly.

Orientation Schedule

• Online orientation option A for mentors will take place on Tuesday, August 13.
• Online orientation option B for mentors will take place on Thursday, August 15.

Mentorship Schedule

• Your first virtual meeting will take place the week of September 16.
• Your second virtual meeting will take place the week of October 21.
• Your final meeting will take place the week of November 18.
• Your student mentee will reach out to schedule dates during those weeks that work for both of you.
