Commuting to work by bicycle reduces traffic, alleviates parking, saves resources, does not pollute, and keeps you healthy. In recognition of these facts, more and more people are pedaling to work and communities are developing or expanding their infrastructures for human powered traffic.
The goal of this course is to design and fabricate a unique human powered vehicle that will answer the specific needs of a person commuting to work. After extensive research the class will establish the criteria necessary for a successful vehicle and develop several concept models. With additional research in ergonomics, materials, structure, and mechanics, those concept vehicle constructed within the alloted time and materials budget.
There´s also a special emphasis on team dynamics as students work together on Research, Design, Fabrication, and Documentation
