Michigan Engineering counts 35 living NAE members among its ranks, and The Michigan Engineer has undertaken a multi-year mission to photograph them.

For scientists, students and the rest of us, the upcoming eclipse will help illuminate some of the sun’s deepest mysteries.

Cancer-killing bubbles An FDA-approved treatment developed by U-M uses ultrasound waves to destroy liver tumors with few, if any, side effects. Michigan Engineering experts envision a future where cancer treatment is incisionless, non-toxic, pain­less and low-cost. It begins with “histotripsy”— a technique pioneered by U-M engineers and doctors that harnesses soundwaves to attack cancer. Recently […]

Igniting fusion’s future U-M engineers lead advances in fusion research that could one day provide humans with abundant, clean, carbon-free energy.  In December 2022, an experiment designed and led by Michigan Engineering alum Annie Kritcher took a monumental step toward a long-held technological dream—harnessing the power of the stars for abundant, emissions-free energy without long-lasting […]

Electrifying the automotive workforce U-M’s new Electric Vehicle Center is helping the Midwest’s powerful automotive workforce gear up to enable our EV future.  When assembly lines first began churning out vehicles over a hundred years ago, the auto industry showed how Michigan’s ideas, people and materials could literally change the world. With electrification ramping up, […]

Delivering nanotech’s promise U-M led Science and Technology Center will bring nature’s efficiency and flexibility to advanced materials and additive manufacturing. Mirroring the way nature puts together a variety of materials to build cells, which then go on to make tissues, organs and organisms, the Michigan Engineering led Center for Complex Particle Systems (COMPASS) is […]

With oil production dropping, a process using natural gas is needed to avert a shortage of a workhorse chemical used for automotive parts, cleaning products and more.

Particles that gum up the keys that the virus uses to enter cells could one day be an effective COVID treatment whenever vaccines and other treatments fall short.

Foldable origami with thick panels opens a world of possibilities.

It looks like the same mechanism that breaks up airplane contrails might be at play in forming the clumps of hydrogen gas that ring the remnant of supernova 1987A.

Current technologies already in use could help prevent crashes and deaths linked to impaired driving.

The first organized stem cell culture model that resembles all three sections of the embryonic brain and spinal cord could shed light on developmental brain diseases.

Communities could reduce costs and cut vehicle emissions—all in the name of shortening your trip.

Membership in the National Academy of Engineering is among the most prestigious honors that can be bestowed upon an engineer. Explore NAE member profiles More NAE member profiles coming soon.

When using only data collected before patients with sepsis received treatments or medical tests, the model’s accuracy was no better than a coin toss.

Dawn Tilbury is recognized for advances in manufacturing network control and human-robot interaction, as well as engineering leadership.

The U-M industrial and operations engineer is recognized for excellence in research related to human health as well as championing diversity, equity and inclusion.
