The objective of the competition is to provide Industrial Technology/Technology Education students and MTEA Clubs with a challenging project that allows practical experience in design, fabrication, and testing. This is exactly what the STANDARDS FOR TECHNOLOGICAL LITERACY from the International Technology Education Association are all about! In an effort to increase support and promote Technology Education, public awareness in the area of fuel economy and student involvement, a fuel economy competition will be held every spring. Competing students and clubs will be challenged to build a one-person, fuel efficient vehicle powered by a single cylinder four stroke cycle engine. The vehicles will run a specified course at a certain speed.
