Odyssey Day is comprised of
numerous green transportation
related events coordinated and
hosted by NAFTC members, Clean
Cities Coalitions, and others who
believe in cleaner, more energy
efficient forms of transportation.
These local events take place on a
designated date every other year
throughout the U.S.
We have teamed up with Clean
Cities Coalition of Ann Arbor as
well as the M1 Rail Project to help
celebrate our Clean Your Mitten
event. Stop by the Gullen Mall
Oct. 17 and check out the
different types of electric vehicles
in our greater-Detroit area as well
as our re-engineered EcoCAR 2
vehicle. Learn how the M1 Rail
Project will affect our region’s air
quality and the opportunities it
will provide for Detroiters. Talk to
Clean Cities of Ann Arbor about
the latest ecological options in
transportation today. Last but not
least, compare your vehicle’s
emissions to an AFVs and truly see
the difference on our mitten
maps.

Clean Your Mitten event, visit our

EcoCAR 3 Kick Off Workshop
A recap of all the fun
From Sept. 16-18, over 100 students from across the
country met at the Novi Suburban Collection
Showplace for the EcoCAR 3 Kick Off Workshop (KOW).
KOW was a conference for EcoCAR 3 team leaders to
be introduced the competition. It described the
unique aspects of the competition, the deliverables
and provided training in areas (CAD, Simulink, Project
Management) that are essential for success in the
competition.
The KOW offered plenty of fun-time too. On the first
night, the teams played Whirlyball. Whirlyball is a
team sport that combines lacrosse and bumper cars.
The Hybrid Warriors team pledged to play until they
won (eight games later)!
The KOW was in conjunction with the Michigan
Battery and Electric Vehicle Technology Show. Our
EcoCAR 2 vehicle was on display alongside the new
EcoCAR 3 Chevy Camaro. This was a great chance for
us to network with companies that would be direct
suppliers to the components we need for our
vehicle.
“Having the KOW in conjunction with the electric
vehicle and battery show was very beneficial to the
EcoCAR teams. We were able to meet, talk and
interact with companies that produce components
we hope to integrate into our vehicles,” project
manager Alyse Waldhorn said.
EcoCAR is a very complex project with many
different components, people and deliverables.
Learning about all of these pieces and how they will
work together can be stressful. KOW allowed teams
to get organized from the start.

program.
Favorite WSU Course (so far):
Fundamentals of battery for
electric and hybrid vehicles.
Interesting Fact: I received an
Academic Merit Award for
outstanding performance in
isolated disciplines, Faculty
Pythagoras 2010. I participated in
the Math in Action project
performed by UNILESTE/MG as an
assistant professor/monitor. I used
to be monitor of Computational
Math Logic, Calculus I and
Computer Algorithms too. While in
Brazil, I worked for two years as a
manager at a national pharmacy
network. This job helped me to
develop my teamwork skills. Once
in the U.S., I worked as a
volunteer at Goldman Sachs
10,000 small businesses in Detroit
and had an opportunity to meet
Warren Buffett. In addition, I’ve
been working as a volunteer at the
application process is really long
and hard. I created a blog while
in Brazil to help other students
by sharing my experience. My
group processes started in June
2013 and will last until
September 2015. It is composed
of many different deadlines and
the students must make all of
them to make sure they are able
to proceed.
Why did you choose WSU?
In the first part of this program
we had the opportunity to
choose three universities in our
host countries but we didn’t
know if we’d be accepted by
them. I chose WSU because I
knew about EcoCAR and the
undeniable effort that WSU is
putting into the team. I’ve been
trying to become part of the
EcoCAR team since I arrived at
Wayne and because of my
educational background and
hard work, the team should
know that I'll give 100% to this

What brings you to WSU? The
Brazil Scientific Mobility
Program (BSMP) is a landmark
initiative of the Brazilian
government to grant over
100,000 scholarships for the
best science, technology,
engineering and math (STEM)
students from Brazil to study
abroad at the world’s best
universities. This prestigious
scholarship program,
administered by IIE in the
United States, is funded by the
government of Brazil and the
private sector to strengthen
science and technology skills
and foster innovation and
international cooperation in the
country’s future workforce. The

study abroad office.
What made you want to
join ECOCAR3? I want to
focus my knowledge in the
automotive area,
specifically on electric and
hybrid vehicles.
What are your strengths?
Capacity to solve new
problems, ability to
maintain focus in activities
performed under pressure,
easy adaptation to new
challenges, mastery over my
feelings and working in
teams.
What are you looking
forward to in ECOCAR3? I
am looking forward to
working with a
multidisciplinary team and
to increase my knowledge
on electric and hybrid
vehicles. I’d like to be
prepared for the labor
market and a possible
internship at GM in 2015. I
am sure that I will be
prepared to somehow
develop the technology into
hybrid and electric cars for
Brazil after my return.
What do you like about
Detroit? I love the fact that
even though it is a big city,
Detroit has shown the real
American life through the
spirit of Detroit. The city
itself is a great opportunity
to live in and experience
the strong freedom that
only the U.S. can show the
world.
Fact no one knows about
you (until now): I learned
English listening to Mariah
Carey songs.
