This is the twelfth year of the program, in which AISI steel-application specialists and Big Three automotive designers teach students the design and engineering potential of steel.
Interns take field trips to stamping plants, engineering facilities, and design studios.
Tang created an entry-level Hummer concept called the Vigilante. The roll bar is made of hydroformed tubing. Through the use of tailor-welded blanks in the doors and roof, I'm able to lightweight the vehicle without sacrificing structural rigidity. Senger's Turbine design uses hydroforming and rigid, galvanized sheet sections to reduce weight.
