3 project are also included as a proxy for the manystudent engineering projects that are on OSU’s campus.KeywordsProject Management, Systems Engineering, Education, Capstone, EcoCARIntroductionStudents typically gain exposure to project management techniques through capstone seniordesign projects, however, many students would benefit from a greater depth of study. This hasbeen indicated through student surveys and industry feedback. To support this, threedepartments within The Ohio State University (OSU) College or Engineering have developedcomplementary courses that cover topics in project management. In addition, students engagedin extra-curricular student projects, such as the EcoCAR 3 project, must practice projectmanagement techniques
, carbon emission impacts, storage patterns, and government policy. Both battery and hydrogen storage technologies are examined in his works. Daniel is also the project manager for the University of Waterloo Alternative Fuels team where he manages projects to convert stock vehicles into a more sustainable model while preserving performance, safety, and consumer acceptability. His main goal is to complete all project tasks which include cost, schedule, stakeholder, and risk management, he also as restructured the safety training into a graduated system to increase safety awareness and provide needed motivation for a student environment
