| Q: |
Why join the Alternative Vehicle Club? |
| A: |
The Alternative Vehicle Club is an opportunity to take what you've learned in your classes, and
apply it. Classes teach you a lot of theory, but they don't really teach you how to apply that theory. Cal Poly's
learning philosphy has always been to "learn by doing", and that's exactly what we do. There is no better way to learn
about alternative vehicles than to build some of your own. Not only you will design vehicles, but you will also be
building and testing them. In addition, it is an opportunity to beef up your resume, learn about"green design", make new friends, and just have fun. |
