If this institution was a person I don't know if I'd give it a firm handshake and a "thank you" or punch it in the face. Or at least that was my feelings as I gave a glance back towards the University of Utah Mechanical Engineering department while walking out its doors today.
Built in 1954 as the Kennecott Copper Corporation's modern research center, the Kennecott research laboratory assisted in modernizing methods at the famous copper mine. Long collaborating with the University of Utah as it's hosting institution, Kennecott gave the facility and property to the University of Utah in the 1990's.
In 2015 a renovation had opened the facility as the brand new home of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and additional expansion projects through the late-2010's into the early 2020's expanded the building's lab and office space.
For the last few years of my life this building has been effectively my home, barring the awful schadenfreude that was "Zoom school" during the COVID semesters. Apparently after banging my head against the wall long enough they must have decided it was time to hand me a degree and show me the door one last time.
Dr. S. V. Sreenivasan (left), a mechanical engineering professor and the Eli H. And Ramona Thornton Centennial Fellow, and Dr. C. Grant Willson (right) a chemical engineering professor, combined their expertise in nano-precision machines and microelectronic materials to invent a mechanically-driven approach to embossing tiny patterns on silicon chips used to run computers and energy-efficient LED devices. This step-and-flash lithography technique prints smaller structures than any of the camera-like machines in use today for the same purpose.
Morton and his colleagues consider a European map used to visualize potential routes of nuclear smugglers. With the grant from the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office of the Department of Homeland Security, Morton (left) and fellow mechanical engineering faculty will spend five years expanding his computer model for radiation detector placements based on detailed information about smuggling scenarios and models of smugglers’ strategic behavior. Assistant Professor Erich Schneider (center) will build the computer model’s description of the nuclear material being smuggled and radiation detectors' recognition of concealed material. Associate Professor Elmira Popova (right) will provide probability calculations, and run computer simulations to test the computer model.

Colton Rainey, a PhD student in mechanical engineering working in an inert atmosphere glove box as he makes batteries at the Lu Lab at the George G. Brown Laboratories building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Tuesday, May 31, 2022.
The glove box is filled with argon gas so the battery will not be exposed to either oxygen or moisture.

Volder Sick, Arthur F Thurnau Professor, Mechanical Engineering Professor, and Associate Vice President for Research, Natural Sciences and Engineering stands in as a test subject for a specially designed plenoptic camera that scans the surface of the iris and quickly renders a 3D model in the Kellogg Eye Center in Ann Arbor, MI on September 20, 2017.
The 3D model will allow ophthalmologists to render models and detect changes in the surface of the iris, enabling them to quickly identify injuries and diseases within the body.
Sick is collaborating with Maria Woodward, Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, and David Burke, Professor of Human Genetics, as part of a Cubed project.

Portrait of Wei Lu, a U-M professor of mechanical engineering and leader of the research team that created an optimization framework for testing how batteries will perform throughout the life of the battery.
Lu said, “We can now use machine learning technology to dramatically accelerate battery testing and optimization.”
