May 21, 2008

Passion for technology. Every student who participates in Challenge X has it. They pour their heart and souls into developing the technologies that could be commonplace one day. While it’s a competition, it’s also a pathway to engineering careers for many of these students. Here’s an overview of the program from the students who know it best:

Melissa Davis - University of Akron
Michael Barton - University of Akron
Howard Mearns - West Virginia Univerisyt
Charles Hua - University of Waterloo
Matthew Young - Mississippi State Univeristy
Eric Schacht - Ohio State University

GM joined with the U.S. Department of Energy as lead sponsors of Challenge X: Crossover to Sustainable Mobility, a four-year university student engineering competition in which student teams were challenged to re-engineer a Chevrolet Equinox to minimize the vehicle’s fuel consumption, emissions, and greenhouse gasses while maintaining or exceeding its utility and performance.
