Master of Industrial Design student Sean Coleman won the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas (SEMA) Urban Concept Car Competition sponsored by Autodesk and the Shell Oil Company. Design and engineering students from around the world were challenged to design an eco-friendly car for the 2010 SEMA Urban Concept Car Competition. The competition required that participants integrate engineering design into their overall car styling process in order to meet manufacturing specifications in the event that their design concept was produced by Shell. Under the guidance of Adjunct Professor Spencer Barnes, Coleman participated in the competition as his ID 415 final project during the Fall 2010 semester. Coleman’s car mixes current car design trends with elegance and practicality. His winning design will be built and displayed trackside at the 2010 Shell Eco-Marathon Americas (SEMA) event in March.
