A Message of Appreciation

Jake — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:59:28 +0000

We are now very close to completing our urban concept vehicle for competition, and as such we would like to take this opportunity to recognize several organizations, whose sponsorship have been instrumental to our continued success.

The mechanical engineering department of UBC has supported our team since its inception, providing us with work-space and technical and financial resources.

UBC has also sponsored us through the Professional Activities Fund and the Walter Gage Fund. We too would like to thank Shell Canada Ltd for providing additional financial support through the Shell Engineering Student Fund.

New Software Sponsorships

The UBC Supermileage Team is excited to announce two new software sponsors this year! The team is looking forward to using Dassault Systemes SolidWorks to design vehicle modifications, and to improving our body design using the Star-CCM+ software graciously provided by CD-adapco. Both programs will help us in our quest to make the Argo even more efficient as we shoot for gold at the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas this year. Thanks so much for your support!

Superblog II back.. temporarily..

kyle — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 05:27:43 +0000

We couldn’t let the Superblog stay neglected during the competition, so we’ve revived it (at least temporarily). It can be found here during the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas competition so we can keep you updated a little more frequently.

(Oh! Blog Link on top right hand corner of the website again!)

Keep an eye on it for more updates from Texas…
