Elementary school students got an early start on the design of cars Thursday during a one-day educational program at Mississippi State's Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS). MSU mechanical engineering graduate student Laura Arias (l-r) provides guidance about how cars are designed to third-grader Talgat Brown of Yazoo City, and fifth-graders Nicholas Dinep-Schneider and Christopher Horstemeyer, both of Starkville.
