EVC Y4 UA Impact Video: Built by Bama: Driving Innovation Forward in the EcoCAR EV Challenge

Описание: The University of Alabama EcoCAR EV Challenge team is proud to present Built by Bama: Driving Innovation Forward. This is a look into how hands-on engineering, collaboration, and determination are shaping the next generation of the automotive industry.

By highlighting the collective impact of EcoCAR, UA is transforming classroom learning into real-world experience and strengthening partnerships between academia, industry, and the community. Featuring remarks from Dr. Cliff Henderson, Dean of the Styslinger College of Engineering, and Dr. Paul Puzinauskas, long time faculty advisor for the program, the video showcases how the program fosters innovation and workforce development across technical and non-technical disciplines.

Over the length of this competition, the team has reached major milestones, including full vehicle drive capability and successful dual-motor integration. UA has also earned recognition from MathWorks, Argonne National Laboratory, General Motors, and the California Air Resources Board for excellence in engineering, innovation, and teamwork.

You’ll also hear from students and team leads, who share what it means to bring their designs to life, compete among the best of the best, and prepare for careers in the evolving mobility industry.

At its core, being “Built by Bama” is about more than just producing a vehicle—it’s about empowering students, advancing sustainable technology, and proving what’s possible when passion and purpose drive the same direction.
