The world’s fastest professor

I want to create a new generation of engineers that thinks in a different way, says Giorgio Rizzoni, Professor of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at The Ohio State University. And as for practical training for his students, why not have them build the fastest electric car in the world? This summer, on the immense salt flats in Bonneville, Utah, Professor Rizzoni and his students are going to try and beat their own record. Now that’s the kind of teacher you’d want to spend your holidays with.
