During the design and construction phaseof the challenge students must tackle several Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math(STEM) related issues such as embedded microcontroller programming, closed loop controlcalculation, modeling and implementation, as well as overall vehicle dynamics (physics).Soft skills are likewise emphasized through team collaboration, design documentation, andproject management.Creating a high-speed race car is the apex of the challenge. High speed control coupled with theunpredictable track design creates some spectacular problems to solve and just as common somespectacular crashes.

This demand is even stronger in Distance Education, as it is ourcase where usually there is not face to face contact.We are developing an intelligent manager able to answer the students’ questions automatically,using the knowledge already available in e-learning platforms as dotLRN, Sakai, Moodle orWebCT; indexed in search engines as Google or Yahoo; in data repositories as Wikipedia or ininstitutional databases (Figure 4
