We welcome teams from all over the region to participate in the Mid-Atlantic Chem-E-Car competition. Students engaged in the Chem-E-Car competition compete to construct a chemically powered car that will stop safely after a given distance.

Updated Information for the 2024 Competition:
Be sure to review the Summary of Changes at the top of the new rules document and read both the rules and the EDP template thoroughly. While most of the changes were small clarifications, please note that National AIChE’s chemical disposal process has expanded: teams are now required to fill out waste tags in order to dispose of their chemical waste at the competition.
Any questions about rules and EDP template for the 2024 competition should be conveyed through National AIChE’s Chem-E-Car Questions Form
