Our Competition Teams at Kennesaw State – create a safe space to encourage passion, skill, and camaraderie for exceptional competition opportunities. Our diverse teams and associations cater to a wide range of interests and talents, offering students the chance to engage in spirited competition, skill development, and collaborative environments. Through these dynamic groups, students can immerse themselves in hands-on learning, forge lasting connections, and showcase their abilities on local, national, and even international stages.
Join us as we embark to pursue excellence in the diverse community at Kennesaw State
University.
Aerial Robotics
The Aerial Robotics Team is a student organization on campus that is open to all majors.
Our main goals are to collectively build an autonomous flying robot that can interact
and operate within random environments, and build a remote-controlled plane to carry
heavy payloads. Our long-term goal is to compete in the AUVSI-hosted International
Aerial Robotics Competition (IARC) and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aero
Design Competition held annually.
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Minor Competitions
The Concrete Canoe Competition team has been competing since 1988. The competition
is broken into 5 parts: Canoe & Display Design, Presentation, Design Paper, Engineer's
Notebook (Technical Handbook on the canoe), and racing. Each part of the competition
is judged separately and comes together for an overall score for the team. Not only
is it a great learning experience, but you get to work with other students building
relationships, opening doors for job opportunities, and having a good time.
Associated General Contractors (AGC)
Guided by our core principles of Skill, Integrity, and Responsibility, Georgia Branch,
AGC's mission is ". . . to be the voice of Georgia's construction industry, provide
valuable member services and promote best construction practices." The Associated
General Contractors of America (AGC - agcga.com) is a membership organization dedicated
to furthering the ever-changing agenda of commercial construction contractors, improving
job site safety, expanding the use of cutting-edge technologies and techniques
and strengthening the dialogue between contractors and owners. Through member surveys
and thorough dialogue with key AGC constituencies, the association gathers important
information on the issues and priorities it should address now and gleam feedback
on how best to position itself for the future.
Kennesaw Motorsports -Electric constructs electric racecars to compete in the Formula
Student Electric competition. Members will gain competency in engineering skills required
for design, manufacture, tuning, and testing of an 80kW formula-style racecar. This
organization is functionally a part of Kennesaw Motorsports - FSAE and operates out
of the same facilities and resources.
The Green Energy Challenge competition is intended to provide university students
and faculty advisors with an engaging and fulfilling annual event that will foster
meaningful interaction between students and NECA member companies. The Atlanta Electrical
Contractors Association (AECA) is Georgia's local NECA chapter. In addition to offering
support during the Green Energy Challenge, the AECA also offers scholarships, sponsors
on-campus events, and connects students with available internships and career opportunities
in the electrical industry.
Night Owl Racing
Night Owl Racing is a student led competition racing team. We will heavily modify OEM vehicles by designing, fabricating, and testing custom assemblies for racing purposes. Students will apply concepts taught in engineering classes to design components. Students will also develop real world skills as the parts go onto the car and are assembled with inevitable manufacturing imperfections. The main purpose of this organization, however, is to teach engineering students how to design assemblies with a strict budget.
The team is committed to the development of solar vehicles while creating opportunities
for its members to improve their technical, design, and leadership skills.
Steel Bridge Competition Team
The purpose of this organization is to participate every year in the regional Southeastern
Conference American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) competition. This organization
allows the students to apply their knowledge of statics, strengths of materials, structural
analysis, and physics, among others. The team also teaches metal fabrication skills,
from cutting to welding to grinding steel. Members of the Steel Bridge Team will be
involved in the design, manufacturing, construction, and testing of a steel bridge
by following specifications from the rules handbook which changes every year.
