The Chem-E-Car Poster Competition allows each team to present their car's design to a panel of judges in the form of a poster. This poster should describe how the car is powered by the chemical reaction, the unique features of the car, and environmental and safety features in the design. Appropriate documentation on the design and testing of your vehicle must be available for inspection by the judges at the poster competition. All teams competing in the Chem-E-Car Performance Competition must present a poster at the Chem-E-Car Poster Competition.
​
The Chem-E-Car Safety Inspection ensures that all competing cars are compliant with the AIChE Chem-E-Car Competition Official Rules and Safety Rules. Each vehicle is inspected by at least one Safety Inspection Judge. The safety inspection is around 20 minutes long. All teams must bring a printed copy of their EDP, EDP supplement, EDP review, and any MOC forms.
