Announcing the Year Three Fall Workshop

Year Three is officially here for EcoCAR 3 students! This year, each team will be optimizing their vehicles for on-road testing.

From September 28^th – October 1^st, each of the 16 schools from across North America will gather in Natick, Massachusetts for the Fall Workshop, hosted by Mathworks. Throughout this four day workshop, the teams will learn more about the Year Three competition rules, deliverables, and other EcoCAR 3 events occurring through the year. The teams will also receive extensive training provided to them through competition-level sponsors, including: U.S. Department of Energy, General Motors, Argonne National Laboratory, MathWorks, dSPACE, Freescale, AVL Powertrain, Siemens, GKN, Ricardo, Tesa Tape, Champlain, Mentor Graphics, Weber Shandwick, and more.

On top of the widespread technical training, Communications Managers and Project Managers will each follow a content specific track where they will learn more about their deliverables throughout the year and different ways to enhance their specific focus areas. The Communications Managers will receive social media training, as well as media training and Project Managers will focus primarily on leadership training and executive plan development.

Over the course of the workshop, teams will also have the opportunity to attend the Sponsor Social Networking and Recruiting event and an evening dinner sponsored by MathWorks.

We look forward to seeing the 16 teams, sponsors and organizers at the Year Three Fall Workshop!
