2023 Annual Student Conference Chem-E-Car Competition!
What a year this has been. We are beyond proud of what has come from the reboot of McMaster Chem-E Car. After a long journey and many challenges faced along the way, our car Lightning MACqueen had a great run coming close to the 25m mark with speed! This was the first time the reboot team has competed and we could not be more proud.
McMaster placed 3rd overall in Canada and 21st in the world. At the AICHE hosted event, we met many amazing student teams from around the world and were able to network with the Canadian schools that advanced to finals as well. Congratulations to UofT, Laval, UBC, and UofC for representing Canada alongside us!
The team would like to thank our sponsors: Chem Eng Club McMaster, McMaster Chemical Engineering Department, McMaster Engineering Society, Faculty of Engineering - McMaster University, and Septodont. As well, a great thank you to all the staff and faculty - with a special shoutout to our faculty advisor Vincent Leung - for their endless support and advice They are the fuel that drives our car to success.

2023 North-Central Regional Chem-E-Car Competition!
Exciting news to share! Our Chem-E-Car team recently placed third at the North Central Region Chem-E-Car competition in both the performance competition and the poster competition! It was a great experience for us all, and a fantastic opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to a real-world engineering challenge.
I want to thank our amazing team members who worked tirelessly to design and build our car. Being the only Canadian team at the competition in Chicago and coming third is something we are very proud of. This is just a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team.
Our journey doesn’t end here as I’m thrilled to announce we will be taking part in the National Chem-E-Car Competition in Orlando, Florida this November.
Congratulations to all the participating teams and thank you to AICHE for organizing such a fantastic event!
