EEC-9711450美国工程教育学会 摘要 该奖项为1997年FutureCar Challenge教师顾问奖提供资金，以开发和传播基于该团队的学生车辆竞赛的设计和建造的本科工程课程材料。 FutureCar Challenge是一项针对本科生团队的竞赛，旨在设计和制造一款中型，生产就绪的车辆，每加仑可行驶80英里，同时仍保持现有汽车的性能，安全性和可负担性。 这项比赛是由能源部和美国汽车协会赞助的，美国汽车协会是克莱斯勒、福特和通用汽车公司之间的一个研究机构。 课程将被开发，以将此车辆竞争纳入本科工程课程，结合先进的汽车技术，商业技能，解决问题，营销，管理，团队合作和领导。

EEC-9711450 Huband American Society for Engineering Education Abstract This award provides funding for a 1997 FutureCar Challenge Faculty Advisor Award to develop and disseminate undergraduate engineering curriculum materials based on the design and construction of this team-based, student vehicle competition. The FutureCar Challenge is a competition for undergraduate students teams to design and build a mid-size, production-ready vehicle which can get up to 80 miles per gallon while still maintaining the performance, safety, and affordability of existing cars. This competition is sponsored by the Department of Energy and USCAR, a research venture between Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors. Curriculum will be developed to incorporate this vehicle competition into undergraduate engineering curriculum that combines advanced automotive technology, business skills, problem-solving, marketing, management, teaming, and leadership.
