Cedarville Magazine, Summer 2014

30 | Cedarville Magazine Campus News 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 Solar Splash 2014
