University of Waterloo Wins The MathWorks Award for Model-Based Design

Filed under category: Transportation

Rev em up... The University of Waterloo is the recipient of The MathWorks Crossover to Model-Based Design Award at Challenge X, the three-year student engineering competition sponsored by General Motors Corporation (GM) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

The University of Waterloo was presented with the award based on its outstanding achievement in creating, simulating, and analyzing models for vehicle design and subsystem control using Model-Based Design with The MathWorks MATLAB and Simulink. In addition to winning the award, the University of Waterloo also won Year One of the collegiate competition, which challenges 17 North American student-engineering teams to reengineer a Chevrolet Equinox with the goal of improving on-road fuel economy and reducing emissions, while maintaining performance and safety. Hopefully they will teach GM a thing or two.
