Robert Middleton, Assistant Research Scientist in Mechanical Engineering,and André Boehman, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, set up a particle spectrometer to better understand how many infectious aerosol particles others in a classroom expect to inhale under various mitigation scenarios inside 1311 EECS on North Campus in Ann Arbor, MI on Monday, May 17, 2021.
Different parts of a room will have different risk levels, depending on many factors, including: how HVAC vents affect aerosol trajectories, how effective windows or HVAC are at bringing in fresh air, and how many virus particles an infected person emits. Typical indoor airborne transport models do not take this uncertainty or variability into account.

Emma Matecki '16 readies her car for a race.
Student teams from the Manufacturing and Design competed in a year end drag race. The semester long project challenges students to design a dragster using engineering analysis so that it can race down a track and come to a stop after crossing the finish line. The competition winner is determined by a combination of speed, braking, and manufacturing cost for the car. The course was taught by Matt Rhudy, visiting assistant professor of mechanical engineering.

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.

Greg Bogan (left), Columbia Energy & Environmental Services, oversees work on a telescoping camera platform designed by Washington State University mechanical engineering students Melissa Street, Jared Rixon, Ryan Breezee, Ben Revard, Gladwyn D’Souza, and Chris Mentzer. Two other students working on the project are not pictured in this photo.
As part of their senior project, the students are helping design a telescoping arm and camera system to take pictures inside Hanford’s underground storage tanks.
The students worked alongside mentors from the Department of Energy’s tank farms contractor, Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS), on a budget of $10,000 provided by Columbia Energy & Environmental Services (CEES). They brainstormed ideas, developed design specs, ordered parts, and assembled a unit into a functional prototype that they tested at the CEES Test Facility over Thanksgiving break.
The design consisted of a riser-mountable platform with a 24-foot long telescoping arm that lowers a camera into the tank to provide better photos for inspecting tank integrity. The platform would be mounted on a trailer, taken from farm to farm, and could even be improved to conduct routine tank-integrity inspections.

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.
