2009 Human Powered Vehicle Challenge   The West Coast, 2009 Human Powered Vehicle Challenge was hosted by the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science, May 1 - 3, 2009. The event was a lot of fun, and the teams demonstrated great ingenuity, friendly competition, and commitment. The ASME Organizing Committee and Judges did a great job of running the event. Portland's weather also made a good contribution to required rain obstacle in the utility vehicle event.

Thanks to all the teams for making the trip and contributing to a collegial weekend. Some photos of the event are here.
