Edison2 has learned that Randolph College – one of the top small colleges in the South, located here in Lynchburg, Virginia – is planning a class for next year on Green Engineering Design, with apparent X Prize influences. In fact, the lab for the proposed class is referred to as the Pinewood Derby on Steroids or The Mini-X-Car Competition, with guest lectures or field trips involving Edison2.
This lab/lecture class will look at the state-of-the-art in green engineering design, not just in transportation but in areas such as materials and energy production. The types of things we are doing at Edison2 – in efficiency, innovation and sustainability – need to become the norm in all industries.
This course is an important offering by Randolph College, and if we can provide a little inspiration to college students we are very pleased!
