Robert Middleton, Assistant Research Scientist in Mechanical Engineering, adjusts the rotation speed of a newly installed ceiling fan with UV lighting in an experiment using a smoke machine and particle spectrometers to understand how many infectious aerosol particles others in a classroom are expected to inhale under various mitigation scenarios inside 1311 EECS on North Campus in Ann Arbor, MI on Monday, May 17, 2021.
There's a lot we don't know about how these particles behave indoors, but a core conundrum is that while aerosols do not stay within six feet of their source, they're also not uniformly distributed throughout a room.

Andrew Gayle, a Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student Research Assistant, and Alexander Hill, a Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Instructor, monitor a new reactor designed to produce ammonia for fertilizer without relying on fossil fuels.
The National Science Foundation has awarded U-M researchers $2 million to offset the required fossil fuels that are currently burned during the catalytic process of ammonia production with solar power. That method, known as the Haber-Bosch process, is now the largest contributor of greenhouse gases from an industrial chemical process - as much as 2 percent of global emissions.

Construction workers install the base of the sculpture "3 Cubes In A Seven Axis Relationship" outside of the G.G. Brown Building on North Campus of the University of Michigan on August 24, 2017.
The sculpture is a 14,000 pound, 25-foot tall kinetic structure that took Philip Stewart, Pinwheel artist, two years to design and was commissioned by the U-M College of Engineering in honor of Charles M. Vest, U-M Alumnus and former Dean of the College of Engineering U-M Provost.
“When Chuck was Dean, he had an interest in establishing a collection of artwork on
the University of Michigan’s (U-M) North Campus,” said Alice Simsar, a fine art consultant who works with the U-M. “That’s why this gift in his name is so fitting. An
official dedication of the sculpture will be planned in connection with the U-M Mechanical Engineering Department’s 150-year celebration in 2018,” she added.

Alexander Hill, a Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Instructor, monitors a new reactor designed to produce ammonia for fertilizer without relying on fossil fuels.
U-M’s team is pioneering a system that harnesses energy from sunlight, reducing the reliance on temperature and pressure to bring the hydrogen and nitrogen together. It will pull nitrogen from the air using an air separation unit while splitting water molecules to produce hydrogen. Those gases will then be compressed inside the reactor to create ammonia at significantly lower temperatures and pressures than traditional methods. Each step in U-M’s process is driven by solar power, through both electricity-generating panels as well as new catalysts that help fuel chemical reactions with light, known as photocatalysts.

Eric Kazyak, Research Fellow in Mechanical Engineering, tries to verify lithium metal, solid-state batteries which use a solid electrolyte instead of the currently used flammable liquid electrolyte inside the Battery Fabrication and Characterization User Facility at the Phoenix Memorial Laboratory at 2301 Bonisteel Blvd, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on Friday May 7, 2021.
The University of Michigan is researching ways to harness abundant materials for battery production, or reuse older materials to relieve the disproportionate pressure placed on countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo for cobalt or the Philippines for nickel.

Il s’agit d’un détail de l'une des machines-outils qui servaient à l’usinage de pièces destinées à la construction navale à l’arsenal de Brest. Ces machines sont exposées dans la salle dite « Place des Machines » de l’immense Atelier des Capucins.
This is a detail of one of the machine tools used for the machining of parts intended for shipbuilding at the Brest dockyard. These machines are exhibited in the "Place des Machines" exhibition hall of the huge “Capucins Workshop”.
Feng Yuan (center), vice president of China's Wuxi Institute of Technology (WXIT), presents a letter of greeting to PCC President G. Dennis Massey, left, on behalf of WXIT's new president, as Cui Fengjuang (right) translates. Yuan and Fengjuang were part of a four-member delegation from Wuxi -- along with Xie Jingquan and Wang Hao -- that visited PCC last week to tour the college's Building Construction program and Facilities Services Complex. The group also stopped by the Craig F. Goess Student Center and Charles E. Russell Building to get a firsthand look at how the buildings were designed. PCC and WXIT have partnered on mechanical engineering training since 2008.
Professor James Holly Jr., addresses his MECHENG 499: Mechanical Engineering and Racial Justice in the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday morning, March 22, 2023.
This is the second time the course, developed by Holly in 2021, has been offered. He typically begins with a key question, such as: “Is technology a barrier to, a tool for, or a non-factor for racial justice?” In this course, Holly wanted his students to use critical thinking in their responses.Traditional curricula often emphasize making, doing, and calculating—the tangible sides of engineering. Yet there isn’t always time and space for students to examine how their thoughts are being deliberately created and facilitated. Discussion questions are designed to give students the opportunity to both think collaboratively with others, as well as to speak up. Holly calls it “Think-Pair-Share,” where students first think of their own answers, pair up to discuss them, and then share with the whole classroom.
