Engineering students plan smash fundraiser for capstone project

A group of fourth-year engineering students have planned a smashing way to raise funds for their capstone project.

The Smart Airfoil Blade team is holding a Car Smash outside the Leddy Library on Monday, May 14. The team will set up an automobile from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and charge passers-by $2 to take three swings at it with a baseball bat or sledgehammer.

“It should be fun,” says Abhishek Nayyar, the team’s treasurer. “We are taking all safety precautions.”
