It might be summer, but content is still coming in from the year one finals in Toronto. In this video blog, Jeremy Wise, EcoCAR Team Leader for the University of Victoria, turns the mike on fellow team members Shaun Bowman and Nathan Wren. He asks them what sparked their interest in EcoCAR and what each of them hopes to get from participating. Once you listen to the vblog, be sure to check out the team page for the University of Victoria EcoCAR Challenge team to learn more about Jeremy, Shaun, Nathan and all the members of the team: http://ecocar.uvic.ca/page.php?26.
EcoCAR: The NeXt Challenge today announced that three of the competition’s Platinum Sponsors, dSPACE, National Instruments and The MathWorks, are providing more than $2,300,000 of cutting edge hardware and software tools to help student teams design the green cars of the future. EcoCAR teams learn real-world automotive engineering practices through the use of Model-Based Design and graphical system design technologies that include hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL), which help to bring the students’ vehicle visions from concept to the road. Students will unveil their final designs at the competition finals in Toronto on Friday, June 12, 2009.
