Cedarville Engineers Race Toward Clean Energy Success

A team of Cedarville University engineering students is gearing up to compete in one of the nation's most innovative contests - racing electric-powered boats. From April 15-17, Cedarville will join over 40 teams at First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach, Virginia, for the Promoting Electric Propulsion (PEP) competition.

The purpose of the competition is to push the boundaries of clean energy technology while testing engineering skills in a high-stakes race for innovation.

The PEP for Small Craft Competition, organized by the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE), is promoting the event in the United States.

Along with Cedarville University, college students from Princeton University, Stevens Institute of Technology, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Texas A&M and Auburn University will compete.
