Panagiota Kitsopoulos, a PhD student in mechanical engineering, answering a question in MECHENG 499: Mechanical Engineering and Racial Justice with Professor James Holly, Jr., 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.

David Kwabi, mechanical engineering assistant professor, right, and Siddhant Singh, mechanical engineering PhD student, discuss the operation of an electrochemical flow cell designed to desalinate water at the Battery Lab in the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project on the North Campus of the University of Michingan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, August 10, 2022.
Kwabi is the primary investigator on this project which seeks to help with global water scarcity struggles. He and three mechanical engineering colleagues were award a ME Research Innovation Pilot grant as they continue working toward an energy-efficient electrochemical system to remove sodium chloride from brackish and sea water.

Prototype lithium-ion batteries built at the University of Michigan Battery Lab undergo diagnostic measurements inside an environmentally controlled chamber at 1015 Auto Lab on North Campus of the University of Michigan on October 15, 2021.
University of Michigan researchers identified an early-life diagnostic signal that predicts the impact of the formation protocols on battery life without needing cycle life testing. The technique can be deployed in battery manufacturing settings rapidly and at no additional cost. The newly discovered method can help battery manufacturers optimize their formation protocols and ensure that automotive-grade batteries can be both affordable and long-lasting.

A student talks about his team's project, "Payload Hauler Omni Directional (PHOD)," sponsored by Nearth. The team included mechanical engineers Alex Koslov, Jay Stillmun and Andrew Timmons, and was asked to improve upon a payload hauling device designed to transport things up and down shafts. The students focused on reducing drivetrain complexity, enclosing components and creating an easy way to use payload.
