WMU Solar Car Team
Western Michigan University students join to design and build a solar powered vehicle that utilizes state of the art technology. Students have the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to a hands-on project to achieve a common goal. The culmination of the project is the biennial, cross-country, international, intercollegiate American Solar Challenge. A test of the efficiency, safety and durability of the solar vehicles. WMU has participated in every ASC and is one of only four universities to have done so. The team also promotes the use of renewable alternative energy and the advancement of related technologies by educating the public through the presentation and demonstration of a solar powered vehicle at schools, museums, energy fairs, car shows, parades and other special events.
