Hypothetical imperative

	NREL: Hybrid Electric and Fuel Cell Vehicles - Advanced Vehicle Systems
		Heavy-duty vehicles are considered prime targets for the fuel economy improvements achievable through advanced vehicles, especially because their fuel consumption rates are much higher than those of passenger cars.
		NREL, DOE, industry, and other national laboratories are working on advancing power electronic components, such as the motor controller, DC to DC converters, and inverters that condition the electrical signal between the power generation unit (a fuel cell or battery) and the electric motor.
		Vehicles Systems Analysis is another NREL project with powerful implications for the development of advanced vehicle technology.

	Rubber Band Powered Vehicle - Contest Ideas
		Design a vehicle which will travel down an incline, will launch itself from a ramp, clear a 3 inch wall that is 6-feet from the ramp edge, land in a target zone (at the same elevation as the top of the ramp_ and travel along a straight section of track (level with the target zone).
		Vehicle must be 1 pound or less in weight and can be of any size or shape.
		Vehicle must start under its own power, i.e.; the vehicle cannot be pushed or thrown to start it.

	Engineers
		Engineers design products, machinery to build those products, factories in which those products are made, and the systems that ensure the quality of the product and efficiency of the workforce and manufacturing process.
		Engineers may also specialize in one industry such as motor vehicles or in one field of technology, such as jet engines or semiconductor materials.
		Overall engineering employment is expected to increase about as fast as the average for all occupations, while the number of engineering degrees granted has remained fairly constant over the past several years.

	Engineers
		Engineering technology graduates, however, are not qualified to register as professional engineers under the same terms as graduates with degrees in engineering.
		About 555,000 engineering jobs were found in manufacturing industries, and another 378,000 wage and salary jobs were in the professional, scientific, and technical services sector, primarily in architectural, engineering, and related services and in scientific research and development services.
		It is important for engineers, as it is for those working in other technical and scientific occupations, to continue their education throughout their careers because much of their value to their employer depends on their knowledge of the latest technology.
