ASME Design Competition
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers is a student chapter geared to help bridge the gap between the classroom and a career in mechanical engineering. Through extracurricular activities, student members gain experience in applying their engineering skills and see how they can integrate these skills in a professional setting.
Help the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at UMass Amherst in our effort to construct a succinct design for the 2022 Student Design Competition. Our prototype will successfully harness water energy conversion and propel the vehicle forward. The Student Design Competition is a great platform for our members to get valuable team-building experience in an engineering setting. Any contributions to help fund our team’s goal are greatly appreciated.

$25
Arduino
This level would pay for the system's arduino, which would allow the team to interface with the vehicle's electronics.
$100
Electronics
The cost of the vehicle's electronics, which are necessary to propel the system.
$150
T-Slotted Framing
The cost of the vehicle's metal framing. This acts as a mount for the vehicle's subsystems.
$300
3D-Printer
The cost of a new 3D-printer that the team would use to model our own parts.
