Watch out Cullen College of Engineering! Anthony Tantuccio and his team of 2007 Chem-E-Car national competition winners are heading to the final competition once again. Their Chem-E-Car was featured in Engadget's post "Fuel cell-powered Chem-E-Car Tears its Way through the Halls of Cooper Union" last week. Completing a 2009 internship at Bristol-Meyers Squibb, Anthony is currently earning his Master of Chemical Engineering degree at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City. In addition to being the leader behind Cooper Union's Chem-E-Car initiatives, Anthony is a ChemE skilled in data interpretation and analysis and mathematical modeling.
Endgadget put together a fantastic slideshow of the Chem-E-Car at Cooper Union.
Here's the Video of Engadget's Paul Miller Showing off Team Tantuccio's Chem-E-Car:

The AIChE Foundation raises funds to support projects and activities that further the Institute's mission and enable the profession of chemical engineering to have a greater impact on the world. Donations small and large and make a difference.
Billionaire investor Peter Thiel, who started Paypal and is now famous as Facebook's first, far-sighted investor, announced his next group of 20 young Thiel Fellows, who will each receive $100,000 to pursue personal technology projects, while skipping traditional college. This hefty stiped carries a rigorous demand: quickly learn entrepreneurship from the ground up, and begin to build the new and innovative companies of the future.
Watch a video in the panel at right about the program's first class in 2011.
Opting for tech bootcamp, this third group of "20 Under 20" Thiel Fellows includes Christopher Walker, who dropped out of college to form a software company, and Zach Hamed, a Harvard junior who's leaving to work on education software. Their iconoclastism reflects Thiel's contrarian opinion of higher education as an over-priced bubble, far away from necessary networks of angel investors and mentors.
For two years, instead of attending college, each Thiel Fellow is immediately plugged into the Foundation’s network of entrepreneurs and investors. This supportive environment will nourish endeavors spanning robotics through cyberdefense, neuroscience, and fashion.
Peter Thiel also reflected on past classes in a recent press release, “When we created the fellowship more than two years ago, our intention was to help people learn and accomplish more than they might have. They exceeded our expectations, and proved that qualities like intellectual curiosity and grit are more important than a degree in determining success in life.”
