Information about safety training sessions and preparation for the regional conferences:
To compete at a regional Chem-E-Car Competition, AIChE student chapters must have satisfactorily completed a recent AIChE-sponsored Chem-E-Car Safety training session. On March 1, 2010 regional conference host schools will receive the final list of schools that are currently eligible for the Car Competition. If you know your school is currently not qualified to compete, please be sure to review the procedures below before the March 1 deadline.
For ALL teams competing in either Regional or National Competitions:
To qualify to compete on a Chem-E-Car team, you must have completed an online safety traninig within one year of the competition date.
ONLINE safety training session: The safety lectures, coordinated by SACHE (Safety and Chemical Engineering Education) and the Chem-E-Car committee are available at the following Chem-E-car page: http://www.aiche.org/Students/Conferences/chemecar/lectures.aspx. Knowledge gained from these lectures will be evaluated via an online test.
Lectures Part 1 and 2 MUST be viewed in their entirety by ALL members of a new Chem-E-Car team or team that has not had training in the past two years. Within the safety lecture, further instructions will be given about where to access the required test. You MUST watch the video in its entirety to receive these instructions. Simply watching the video WILL NOT qualify you to compete – each team member must pass the test to complete qualification. Once you have passed the test, your name will be added to the list of qualifiers maintained at AIChE headquarters.
