After winning its fifth world Solar Splash championship title in May, Cedarville University now holds the record for the most Solar Splash world championship titles.

The competition, held in Fayetteville, Ark., pit student engineers against each other to determine which team could create the fastest, most maneuverable and most energy efficient solar boat.

Fifteen schools from three countries competed in the five on-water events.

Competing schools included Carnegie Mellon University, The University of Arkansas, the University of Southampton (UK) and the Kanazawa Institute of Technology (Japan)— which, holds the second most world titles, at four.

Cedarville’s 11-member team, spend nearly 7,500 hours creating a boat design that could run on the very limited solar-generated power. The design won the team the Outstanding Train Design award at the event.

Cedarville’s professor of engineering, Timothy Dewhurst, served as faculty advisor.

Team members were Tim George, Jill Conway, Ryan Samuelsen,Krista Kroninger, Stephen Smith, Mordecai Veldt, Tim Vincent, Toby Dewhurst, Ben Hill, Jordan Winter, Ryan Reep.
