At Ohio State, "fuel efficiency" isn't just a trendy phrase. It's the life mission of researchers--and it's a big part of a university-wide effort to study issues related to sustainability.
The College of Engineering's Center for Automotive Research connects researchers with industry partners like Honda and Ford and gives students real-world experience that leads to jobs. Student projects include the Buckeye Bullet racecar, which holds the land-speed record for a battery-powered electric vehicle at more than 307 miles per hour, and the fuel-efficient EcoCAR2project, in which engineering students compete in a real-world challenge sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy.
The College of Engineering’s efforts don’t end there. The college maintains comprehensive, multidisciplinary and internationally acclaimed research and curriculum programs in energy, environment and sustainability. Supported by state and federal resources, our students and faculty are developing alternatives to and improvements for traditional forms of energy; advancing energy efficiency, systems and storage; inventing new methods of energy harvesting and recovery; assessing environmental impact; and investigating policy, economic impact and consumer behavioral models that would improve energy conservation.
