Inspire, Fall 1994

Of the 1400 surveys mailed to randomly-selected alumni in March of 1994,over 750 alumni returned the survey to the Alumni Office. The overall consensus of this attitudinal survey promoted Cedarville College, valued the education offered, and viewed the Alumni Association in a positive light. Thanks to the many who participated in sharing concerns for maintaining strong Christian standards and expressing your gratitude for Cedarville College. Look for a full report on the Council News page in a future issue of Inspire! Engineering students were pleased to represent Cedarville in perhaps the first international academic competition ever entered by the College. At the 1994 Hybrid Electric Vehicle(HEV)Challenge in Detroit, the Cedarville team fared well against some of the best engineering schools in North America. Competing in the Saturn class, the Cedarville car finished second in design, third in overall efficiency, and won one of the four dynamic events. The Cedarville team modified a Saturn sedan,creating a HEV which uses a combustion engine and battery power to achieve high fuel efficiency and low emissions. The HEV Challenge will convene again in Detroit next June,and the Cedarville engineering department is already planning further improvements on the car.
