They work at all stages of developing ideas into products: research, development, design, construc– tion, production, operations, marketing, sales, and management. In this era of rapid technological change, an engineering education serves our society well. In the decades ahead, society's needs and problems--such as fossil fuel depletion and alternative energy sources, transportation, manufacturing, research, pollution, preservation of the environment, and world hunger--will call for engineering contributions on a scale not previ– ously experienced. The 1995 Supermi/eage Team designed and drove their car to achieve 709 miles per gallon, placing Cedan•ille third in North America at SAE Internationa/'s S11per111i/eage Competition held at the Eaton Proving Grounds in Marshall, Michigan.
