From time to time, Inside the Green Garage blog will spotlight EcoCAR sponsors with “video blogs” that provide more personal looks at the people and companies behind EcoCAR and the Green Garage. Hopefully these videos blogs will spark more discussion about the technologies in use throughout the competition and lead to more questions about the team designs.
For our first few video blogs, we arranged to speak with sponsors attending SAE Congress 2009 in Detroit. Our first conversation is with Paul Smith and Shaun Kalinowski of The Mathworks. They shed light on the importance of “model-based design” and explain the concepts of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL). Pay particular attention to the Paul’s answer about “making math cool again.”

This is a phenomenal opportunity for students to receive expert mentoring in an array of design and analysis skills. It would be wonderful if we could expand programs like this to many more engineering students than already participate.

James, thanks for putting the video on your blog. Agree this is a great opportunity and there’s plenty more room in the Green Garage for others across the various fields of engineering. The Mathworks is doing its part, and that’s a great start.
Thanks again for picking up our content and for your comment.
