Label TextGoode’s (‘17 materials engineering) interest and passion for engineering started many years ago while he was in a robotics class in middle school. His class got the opportunity to tour Iowa State University and see the car that PrISUm, the solar car team at ISU, was building. From Coggon, Iowa Goode now leads over 100 students within PrISUm in developing the world’s first solar utility vehicle (SUV) named Penumbra. In 2017 the vehicle will compete in the cruiser class of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge to race across the Australian Outback. Goode’s interest in solar cars will not stop upon graduation from Iowa State. He intends to use his solar car team experience and intern/co-op work to start his own company.
