A solar car is an electric vehicle that runs entirely on solar energy. Designing, building and racing solar cars has been a longstanding worldwide challenge for engineering and computer science students, with the overarching goal being to design devices that use sustainable energy sources. This article describes our experience and educational outcomes (the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the trade-offs involved in design choice) attained while designing the network architecture for a solar car project.
