A team of Wayne State University engineering students has been selected to participate in a national competition to design more environmentally friendly cars. The three-year program is called EcoCAR 2: Plugging in to the Future and is a joint program of the U.S. Department of Energy and General Motors Co. Wayne State\'s team leader is mechanical engineering associate professor Jerry Ku. The University says the team will try to develop vehicles that have a lower environmental impact \"without compromising performance, safety or consumer acceptability.\"
