The UW Clean Snowmobile Team is an engineering student team which competes annually in the SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge. Our objective in this competition is to modify a stock snowmobile in order to reduce emissions, improve fuel economy, and reduce noise without negatively impacting performance. In other words, our goal is to build a snowmobile that is environmentally friendly, but is still fast, agile and (most importantly) awesome!

We are a rather small team with a close, friendly atmosphere, and we welcome students from all faculties/departments. Whether you are an avid snowmobiler or have no idea what snowmobiling is, if you are willing to learn, we are happy to have you!

Joining a student team is an immensely fun and rewarding experience in which students can apply classroom concepts to practical situations with real-world implications. Also, it’s a great opportunity to work with students from other programs in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment.

Look out for an open meeting and Team Recruitment Day to be announced. For more info see our website: http://sled.uwaterloo.ca.
