The way Calvin Wagner tells it, cars of the future won't run primarily on gas. They'll mostly be hybrids or entirely electric.
Wagner, senior in electrical engineering, is captain of Auburn's Formula Society of Automotive Engineers Electric Car Team. The Formula SAE Electric Team is a group of 20 students, mostly engineers, who are building Auburn's first student-made electric drag racing car.
The program is one of two in the SEC, according to Peter Jones, Woltosz War Eagle Motor Sports professor.
The club began with preliminary meetings in December 2013. David Sweet, team member and senior in mechanical engineering, said the first official meeting was not until January.
We enjoyed a visit this past weekend from our War Eagle Sponsor Walt & Ginger Woltosz
