This is the EcoCAR from the A Big Shiny Embedded Target<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n When I first saw the EcoCAR sitting on the lawn, I wondered\r\nwhat system target file they might use:<\/p>\r\n\r\n I\u2019m sure there are a lot of cool things these students will\r\nbe able to do with a great piece of hardware like this, but in many ways, it\u2019s\r\njust a big, shinny embedded target.<\/p>\r\n\r\n What is EcoCAR?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n EcoCAR is an academic competition.\u00a0 A quote from The students had 5 days of training in different tracks to\r\nlearn and apply MathWorks tools to the design problems facing them.\u00a0 If you\r\nread the Green Car Garage blog<\/a>, you\r\nmay have read about the\r\nevent and the\r\nfun teams had during their visit to Boston.
