VE19-30th-Final_Report
Over the last three decades, the Venice Project Center (VPC) has hosted 222 projects, all of which attempted to improve Venice. These teams worked with sponsors to collect data on the city and proposed plans to improve the city's most pressing problems. Unfortunately, the impact these projects have had remains widely unknown by the Venetian populace. The goal of our project is to showcase the impact the Venice project center has had on Venice. To achieve this, we created an exhibit showcasing the impressive achievements of the VPC. Our exhibit was broken down into four main aspects: a timeline, bell tower exhibit, stone presentation, and population graph. When constructing the exhibit we also helped locate and organize lost databases among the VPC’s archives
Formula SAE Electric
The Formula SAE Competition is an international collegiate design competition where teams design and build formula-style race cars. The cars are evaluated by a technical inspection, design and cost judging, a business logic scenario, and a series of driving events ending in an endurance race. During the 2020-21 academic year, the WPI FSAE team made the transition away from the combustion competition to the electric formula competition. The vehicle had to be designed from the ground up to incorporate an accumulator, an electric motor, and other tractive systems. The frame is completely redesigned in order to package all of these new components along with a driver. The team is using a two year build cycle in which the vehicle will be finished by the 2021-22 MQP team
