Eric Levi got behind the wheel of Penn State's Shell Eco-marathon vehicle Dec. 13 at the as senior engineering students showcased their work at the Bryce Jordan Center at University Park. Levi's team improved the fuel efficiency of the vehicle through reduced friction and weight reducation. The students will compete in the Shell Eco-marathon Americas competition in April on the streets of Houston.

Renata Engel, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies and International Programs in Penn State's College of Engineering, received some 'hands-on' experience with an Automatic Folding and Unfolding Clothes Drying Rack designed and displayed by students at the 2012 Penn State Engineering Student Design Showcase at the Bryce Jordan Center on Dec. 13. The rack was designed to fold and unfold with the push of a button and was designed to be accessible on all sides from a wheelchair.
