May 13 - 14, 2019 Brainerd International Raceway, Brainerd MN

 

In an effort to increase support for and promotion of Technology Education, public awareness in the area of fuel economy and student involvement, MTEEA will hold the Supermileage Challenge, a fuel economy competition for technology students 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 31st annual competition will feature vehicles competing in Stock, Modified, E-85, Experimental and Plug in Electric classes. Information can be found at www.mteea.net/index.php/competitions/supermileage

The objective of the competition is to provide Career Technical Education students and MTEEA 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 and Engineering Educators Association are all about!
