MacLean-Fogg Company to Sponsor 2017 Clean Snowmobile Challenge
MacLean-Fogg Company is excited to announce its sponsorship of the 2017 Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Clean Snowmobile Challenge (CSC). This collegiate design competition challenges teams to reengineer an existing snowmobile to improve environmental performance. Modified snowmobiles then compete in a variety of events including emissions, noise, fuel economy / endurance, acceleration, handling, static display, cold start and design.

Dave Lomasney, MacLean-Fogg Component Solutions (MFCS) President, stated, “Our involvement with the SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge provides us with an opportunity to meet with top engineering students and introduce them to MacLean-Fogg.” Rob Whitney, Engineered Plastics Division President, said, “The SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge enables students to apply their talents and gain valuable skills in preparation for their careers at a company like ours.”
Kyle Jackson, is a Tool Design Engineer for MacLean-Fogg’s Metform Division, that worked on the project as a student. He says, “During my time in the SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge, I was able to take my knowledge beyond what is taught in just the classrooms. The competition also gives its participants experience in project and time management and helps increase teamwork skills, which better prepare them for a career after graduation.”

MacLean-Fogg recognizes the value of competition-based engineering and the quality of students that this type of activity creates.
