Info Session

Our on campus outreach this past week was a huge success! Students from many years and majors were present to learn about our program. We started with a brief presentation by Brandon Davis about our EcoCAR Enterprise and the EcoCAR competition. The session concluded with a display of our vehicle and test drives around campus. This was a great opportunity to raise awareness of hybrid vehicle technology and to get more students involved.

Return From Fall Workshop


After four workshop-packed days in Boston, the Michigan Tech EcoCAR team is back to Houghton to continue where they left off from Year 1 of the competition. Four members, Chris Lucier, Lucas Meeuwsen, Trever Hassell, and Eric Joseph along with advisor Dr. Wayne Weaver attended the workshop last week where they learned skills varying from advanced Simulink modeling to media relations. These skills will help the team develop their hybrid vehicle over the next two years.
