More than 140 MTU students teamed up to compete with students from eleven other universities in the FutureCar Challenge.

The Challenge, which was a joint venture of Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors, involves modifying a vehicle to obtain a fuel efficiency of eighty miles per gallon while maintaining the performance, price, and utility standards set by the federal government and the Big Three automakers.

The MTU team finished fourth out of twelve in this year's competition.
