Cedarville was selected as one ofonly twelve schools in the U.S.and Canada,and the only Ohio school,to participate in the 1994 Hybrid Electric Vehicle(HEV)Challenge.Each student team will demonstrate its car's performance in a competition in Detroit in June.HEVs are one option being researched by automotive manufacturers to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Saturn Corporation donated vehicles to the colleges and universities who submitted the best proposals for converting the gasoline-powered cars into power-assist hybrid electric operation. Saturn Corporation is co-sponsor ofthe 1994 HEV Challenge with the Department ofEnergy(DOE),the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE),and Energy,Mines,and Resources—Canada. Chuck Allport,Cedarville's director ofengineering programs, says,"We are delighted to have supportfrom the College family and our local community as we go head to head with perennial engineering powers such as Penn State, Michigan,Illinois,GM!, and the University ofTexas." Cedarville's entry has received significant supportfrom businesses in the Miami Valley and nationwide. Major companies,including Saturn Corporation,Honda,Exide/NAPA, Sundstrand,Essex Wire,Vernay Labs,and Subaru,have donated equipment and supplies and have provided valuable consulting on the project. Professional engineers in the Dayton SAE section have helped in numerous ways. However,more help is needed.Student project leader Kendall Noller explains,"We have excellent facilities in the ENS Center and have been able to borrow some equipment we need to test the engine. But we still need about $70,000 worth ofequipment and funding for this specific project." Alumni and friends who are involved in the automotive industry,in engineering,or who want to be part ofan exciting competition can contact the College to make a gift or recommend a business which may be able to donate or lend equipmentfor the project. Chuck Worrell in Cedarville's Office ofDevelopment is coordinating the funding efforts and keeps a current list of needs.He can be reached at 513-766-7810. More than an extracurricular activity,the Saturn competition is a vital part ofengineering education at Cedarville.The project is measured against demanding specifications and is focused on real-world issues. The hybrid electric Saturn vehicles will have either an internal or external combustion engine—running on methanol or ethanol—driving a generator, which in turn powers an electric drivetrain. Tuning the engine for operation at a constant speed brings substantial reductions in vehicle pollution and greatly increased fuel economy.The HEV Challenge will involve Cedarville students for three years,as the team will improve its design each year for entry into competitions in the summers of 1995 and 1996. ki The Cedarville team already has a prototype"mule"on the road Ft and is verifying key electrical performance parameters. Over the next four months,the students and faculty will be adjusting the design and installing the engine in the Saturn sedan. With support from the College family and their professional peers. Cedarville it engineers hope to be victorious in Detroit in June. Bev and Allen Monroe met T.J. Rivetti'87 in Hong Kong. uring fall quarter 1993,Drs.

Beverly addressed a women's group at People's University in Beijing.In The Philippines, the Monroes met with Frank '68 and Barb Lepine Jenista'70,Ken'70 and Alice Cole, Philip and Barb Cooper Klumpp'74,Gary'83H and Becky Selden Kuhn '78,and Lori Lindner'92.In China,they met with Julie Prentice '82,Eddie Clifford '86,Diane Lichtensteiger'86,Michelle Gaffner'92,and Jeff Burr'93,who are teaching at People's University. Since 1986, Cedarville College has provided English teachers to the university. In February,Bob Rohm'68,director of planned giving at Cedarville, traveled to Beijing to renegotiate the contract with People's University and provide a Bible seminar for the Cedarville teachers.
