Welcome to Mechanical Engineering at Michigan, a department with nearly a 140-year history and
a strong, clear vision锛堟槑鏅轰箣閬革級 for the future.
Although today we are a large department with almost 75 professorial and research faculty锛堝叏楂旀暀鍝★級,
60 staff members, 700 undergraduates锛堝ぇ瀛哥敓锛�, 475 graduate students and over 16,000 alumni
锛堢敺鏍″弸锛�, we remain nimble锛堟晱鎹凤級 and responsive锛堝仛鍑哄弽鎳夛級 to the challenges and demands
faced by society.
Faculty continually make strides锛堝ぇ姝ヨ璧帮級 in fundamental science while extending the boundaries
锛堥倞鐣�锛� in emerging disciplines锛堝绉戯級. With a research budget of $27 million in 2006, faculty
puttheory into practice, translating breakthroughs in their laboratories into solutions in the
following areas:
路 Biosystems 鐢熺墿绯荤当
路 Combustion & Heat Transfer
路 Design & Manufacturing
路 Dynamics & Vibrations锛堥渿鍕曪級
路 Environmental Sustainability
路 Fluid Mechanics
路 Materials & Solid Mechanics
路 MEMS锛堝井姗熼浕绯荤当锛�/Microsystems & Nanotechnology
路 Systems & Controls銆�
The Department continues to expand with the hiring of new faculty鈥攏ine in the past year alone
鈥攚ho are tackling problems in areas as diverse as nanoscale fabrication, photovoltaics and medical
device design in enthusiastic, innovative and creative ways.
New courses keep the ME graduate and undergraduate curricula current and relevant. We have
recently added three new courses in energy technologies to meet global power needs. In fact
a multidisciplinary master's degree program in Energy Technologies is in the planning stages.
Our design program remains one of the most popular and comprehensive in the country, with
capstone course Design and Manufacturing III (ME450) highly praised as "an outstanding major
design experience." Global Product Development (ME581) provides a unique锛堢崹鐗圭殑锛� experience
in virtual collaboration among international team members; Global Manufacturing (ME587)
锛堝叏鐞冨埗閫犳キ锛� helps students learn to put engineering principles into practice within multiple,
global contexts. Undergraduatse also have the opportunity to learn about Biomechanics锛堢敓鐗╁姏瀛革級
for Engineers (ME406) in one of our technical electives. Although these classes are a small sampling,
they exemplify that from manufacturing to biomechanics, the Mechanical Engineering Department
at Michigan provides and exciting and diverse educational experience.
Opportunities abound for international study and overseas work experience too. Joint programs
with锛堜笂娴蜂氦閫氬ぇ瀛革級 Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and
Technology and TU Berlin offer undergraduates, graduate students and faculty alike the chance
to experience new cultures and languages while broadening and deepening their engineering
education and research efforts.
Mechanical Engineering alumni hold leadership roles in industry, government and academia the
world over. They continue to be a source of knowledge and experience in helping the Department
hone its programs and in helping students and new graduates prepare for fulfilling, rewarding and successful careers.
