Solar Decathlon Opportunities

Monday, Jan. 30, 2012

Letter from Engineering School Dean, Godrey Mungal:

Dear Campus Community,
 
The School of Engineering has great news to share: Santa Clara University has been selected for the 2013 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon to be held in Irvine, California!
 
Over the next two years, undergraduate students from the School of Engineering, College of Arts and Sciences, and Leavey School of Business will collaborate (along with peers from the architecture department of the University of San Francisco) to design and build a net-zero energy house for the prestigious international competition. More information in the University press release.
 
Hearty congratulations to Tim Hight, associate professor of mechanical engineering and faculty project leader, Fr. Jim Reites, associate professor of engineering by courtesy, and the solar decathlon student team who have been working in earnest for the last several months to prepare their proposal which was submitted in November. 
 
SCU students who are interested in joining the 2013 Santa Clara Solar Decathlon team may email Dr. Hight, thight@scu.edu, or Jake Gallau, jgallau@scu.edu.
 
This is a tremendous honor for the University and an unparalleled opportunity for our students to put their talents, education, and heart to work on an enormous interdisciplinary project.  As you can imagine the PR has already started so you may watch our students on NBC at:
 
You will also notice that the California schools in the Decathlon are: Caltech (2nd time), USC (1st time), Stanford (1st time) and SCU (3rd time).
 
Let the games begin!
 
Sincerely,
 
Godfrey
