The Experimental Vehicles Program (EVP) at Reginal University is an undergraduate research program consisting of four experiment vehicle projects: the Solar Boat, the NASA Human Lunar Rover, the Formula Hybrid, and the SAE Baja. The EVP is designed to help students develop their professional skills and their classroom knowledge of Energy Conversion and Conservation through hands-on learning, working on projects that could look very similar to what they might work on in their careers. Each of the four teams work to research, design, build, and perfect their vehicles to prepare for their respective competitions. While, all four of the projects participate in competitions, this paper will focus mainly on the Solar Boat project and the NASA Human Lunar Rover project. Both of these projects have been extremely successful, winning many awards each year at their competitions. Since each event is highly competitive, the students must work diligently to design the best of the best and are able to use top of the line technology to do so. The EVP provides a safe environment where students are encouraged to test their ideas and work together to improve them. This allows them to build skills such as teamwork, creativity, and communication. Students are also able to work with faculty mentors and industry partners for guidance and advice. Many times, these relationships turn into lasting connections. Most of these students have no problems securing an excellent job once graduating. Those connections paired with all the skills the students learn on the way provide big advantages when students are ready to enter the workforce. Every year, about 70 students participate in the EVP and are given the opportunity to further their knowledge through hands-on learning.
