University Of Minnesota Solar Vehicle Project

The University of Minnesota Solar Vehicle Project was founded by a group of undergraduate students from the U of M College of Science and Engineering in 1990. Since then, The Solar Vehicle Project has remained true to its original foundation as a student administered, designed, and built project that teaches members about engineering and management in a complete product development environment. The team has built thirteen solar vehicles, and is one of the most decorated teams in America. In recent years, the Solar Vehicle Project became the first Cruiser Class team in America, building practical and efficient multi-occupant solar vehicles.
