Ohio State is known as a football school, but also produces topflight engineers. Over the Memorial Day weekend, it defeated 15 other schools and was crowned winners of Year 2 of the EcoCAR 3 — Advanced Technology Competition.
Virginia Tech and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University finished second and third.
The competition, based in San Diego, features university engineer teams competing to redesign and reduce the environmental impact of a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, while still maintaining the performance level that made it into one of America's most iconic cars. It is a four-year competition.
