The Supermileage Goal
University of Michigan Supermileage is an engineering student
led project team building a competitive single-occupant,
ultra-efficient vehicle. Our goal is to give young engineering
students the opportunity to design the most efficient vehicle
in North America, and we are especially motivated by the
challenge of developing technology that has global importance
in today’s world.
In our third year, the team began designing, prototyping, and
has recently began fabricating the competition vehicle since
the summer of 2013. Aiming high, the current design target is
a vehicle with a fuel economy of 3,300 miles per gallon. The
team will work through the 2013-2014 year to fabricate
components and perform validation testing on our design work.

The Supermileage Goal 3
University of Michigan Team
The team was founded in the fall of 2010, and since then has grown to
include roughly 30 active members.
We are entirely student-run and are comprised of undergraduate and
graduate members from a wide range of engineering disciplines. The team
designs and builds virtually every system of the vehicle, as well as
handling logistics, project management, and financial planning.
The Supermileage project offers a richly complex and interdisciplinary
engineering experience, and is a valuable organizational and technical
counterpart to the rigorous training that Michigan engineers receive in
their academic studies. Our members have a unique opportunity to work
through a real-time project cycle to see our vehicle through from
conception to completion, and as a startup team, our challenge is to
expose them to the corporate world in a rewarding and meaningful
experience.

Budget and Objectives
Our assessment of our goals and timeline places our financial
need at roughly $20,000 for our third vehicle. The majority of
this will go towards materials and fabrication of our competition
vehicle for the 2013-2014 season.
A significant proportion of this need we hope to gain via in-kind
donations.
We are also happy to discuss other ways you may offer your
support, such as technical guidance in your areas of expertise.

Sponsorship Goals
As a non-profit student organization, our project depends entirely
upon external support and donations. In order to bridge the gap
between ideas and their realization, we need the support of firms
and individuals who appreciate the value of hands-on technical
experience as an essential part of an engineering education. We also
enjoy forming personal relationships with sponsors and seek to share
in mutually-beneficial professional partnerships.
Sponsor Benefits
The benefits to our sponsors come in several forms. We will happily
display corporate logos prominently on the vehicle, website,
newsletter and other media, which as the project unveils will gain
increasing exposure. Whether you are looking for a supplier, a
customer, or new-hires, this project is a unique networking
opportunity. You also gain access to some of the most driven and
creative members of Michigan’s engineering community with access to
our team’s resume book. In the past we have also enjoyed the
opportunity to host our sponsors as they visit campus for hiring and
informative events, and lending them a stronger presence on campus.
Our engineers are intrinsically motivated, passionate, and resourceful
individuals and we anticipate that many will be employed by our top
sponsors upon graduation.
