UW EcoCAR 3 Engineering Application
From Kate Kitto <kkitto3@gmail.com>
I am the communications manager for the UW EcoCAR 3 team. As you may have heard, EcoCAR is a collegiate automotive engineering competition sponsored by GM and the Department of Energy that gives undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to produce a hybrid vehicle.
Our team recently completed the 3-year long EcoCAR 2 cycle and finished second place out of 15 competing universities. We are now beginning the first year of a 4-year EcoCAR 3 cycle and looking to recruit undergrad and grad engineering students to join our team. The hands-on experience this gives engineering students has been extremely valuable to our engineers. There is also opportunity to get credit and travel to EcoCAR workshops and competitions all around the US. I think most of our team members would agree with me in saying that EcoCAR has been one of the most valuable experiences in my time at UW.
I have attached our application. Students from all grades are welcomed, and no prior experience is necessary. We would really appreciate it if you would be able to help us get the word out to your students about our team.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Our faculty advisor, Prof. Brian Fabien (Fabien@uw.edu) can also answer any questions. Thank you!
