The mission was to help students learn and apply common applications from their field into making the ultimate solar car.
Students have a hands-on approach and learn to communicate with team members and peers.
The team was created in 1993 as part of the curriculum in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Engineering Technology. In 1995, a team of six members earned the Outstanding Teamwork Award and 27th place. In 1997, the team earned a 4th place finish. Now we have set the bar higher and are aiming for a possible first place with the 2001 American Solar Car Challenge with the Acala. The race course is from Chicago, Illinois to Palm Springs California.
