OLLI: Efficient Vehicle Project

Jacob Rigelman, student, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology will present this Osher Lifelong Learning Institute program.

Rose-Hulman's Efficient Vehicle Team provides an opportunity for students to apply classroom knowledge and gain a competitive edge with employers. As a member of Rose-Hulman's Efficient Vehicles (RHEV) team, Jacob Rigelman competed in the Shell co-marathon Americas in Detroit April 10-12, 2015. Each year, Shell Eco-marathon events challenge students in the U.S. and around the world to design and build ultra-efficient vehicles. Winning teams are those that go a prescribed distance using the least amount of energy. In their second season competing in the ethanol category, RHEV¹s vehicle averaged 650 miles per gallon.
