Eric Cruz-Hernandez, a mechanical engineering student and member of this year\u2019s team, says the group closely studied past designs to determine what worked and what needed improvement.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s vehicle featured a mid-drive motor with electronic shifting to improve speed and battery endurance. The team also redesigned the frame to make it lighter and more accessible for riders of varying heights.<\/p>\n<h2>Engineering Excellence Across the Board<\/h2>\n<p>The e-HPVC team wasn\u2019t the only group of Knights to win their competition.<\/p>\n<p>A second Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ team placed second in the ASME Innovative Additive Manufacturing 3D Challenge, which asks students to re-engineer an existing product or create a new design. Teams were judged on ingenuity, engineering design principles and their use of additive manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>A third Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ team also showcased a fully functioning robot in the Student Design Competition, but didn\u2019t place.<\/p>\n<h2>The Teamwork Behind the Trophies<\/h2>\n<p>For Bryce Ballard, a mechanical engineering student and external outreach chair for ASME at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½, hosting the 2026 EFx event on campus was just as meaningful as competing in it. It not only gave students the chance to represent the university, but also to create a welcoming and supportive environment for teams traveling from across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the most impactful parts of hosting was being able to support other teams when they encountered issues with their trikes,\u201d Ballard says. \u201cWhether it was lending tools, helping troubleshoot problems or offering guidance, those interactions stood out the most. It reinforced that the competition is not only about performance, but also about collaboration, sportsmanship and building connections within the engineering community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½&#8217;s e-Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (e-HPVC) team took home four trophies for the design and performance of their
