After seven championships in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) Solar Splash competition, Cedarville University hosted the June 11–15 event
at Eastwood Lake in Dayton, Ohio.
This year’s team was advised by Dr. Timothy Dewhurst and Dr. Gerald Brown.
Dewhurst was featured in a May cover story for
Dayton City Paper
:
“I have found this to be an excellent challenge for the students to learn to design
something useful with very limited amounts of energy. It’s one thing to make a boat go
fast; it’s quite another to make a boat go fast on very limited power. The engineering
challenges are huge. The whole global focus is to reduce the amount of energy
we use. Solar Splash provides the students with an opportunity to address this
challenge.”
Cedarville engineering teams regularly finish at the top of competitions including SAE
Aero Design, Formula SAE, Shell EcoMarathon, ASEE Robotics, and AUVSI Ground
