The project was attractive to the cadets because of its applicability to aseagoing service and its use of technology which is pertinent to present real-world problems. The design team for the 1996 Solar Splash competition consisted of seven engineeringstudents from the Mechanical Engineering Department and one faculty member as projectadvisor. The respectable design and performance of the 1995 design and the limited time forproject completion provided the rationale for the 1996 Solar Splash design team to use theoriginal hull.
