SEA promotes energy conservation and environment awareness in various ways.
Their goal this year is to promote awareness through their participation in Sunrayce 97. To design and create a vehicle to operate at highway speeds powered by the same amount of electricity generated by a hair dryer is the challenge faced by these students, professors, and consultants. Sunrayce is an intercollegiate solar powered car race which goes across the United States from Indianapolis to Denver. Students from across the country compete to build and race cars powered only by sunlight over a distance of 1,150 miles. Although the design of a solar powered vehicle is an awesome task, the greatest challenge imposed by the Sunrayce project is establishing sponsorship support for the car.
