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.
Mechanical engineers at the University of California, San Diego invented a robot designed to scoot along utility lines, searching for damage and other problems that require repairs. Made of off-the-shelf electronics and plastic parts printed on an inexpensive 3D printer, the SkySweeper prototype could be scaled up for less than $1,000, making it significantly more economical than the two models of robots currently used to inspect power lines.
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.

To understand how batteries operate over a lifetime they must be cycled through being charged and discharged thousands of times. Lu said, "“We can now use machine learning technology to dramatically accelerate battery testing and optimization.”

A colorful villa located in the coastal city of Busan, many tourists come to the cultural village on weekend vacations. Originally a safe haven for refugees after the Korean War, the district is now home to many elderly citizens and is known for the quaint pathway taking the viewer along souvenir shops, outdoor snack booths and cute cafes. Reflecting the scrappy and surviving nature of its original inhabitants, an orange tabby cat naps in the shade of the bench on a hot summer day.

This is where the Industrial Revolution began. And this is a replica of a locomotive designed by the great engineer and inventor Richard Trevithick in 1802. It was one of the first steam engines in the world. The engine runs up and down a short stretch of track at Blists Hill Victorian Town near Ironbridge, one of several Ironbridge Gorge Museums, which pay tribute to the developments in this part of Shropshire that changed the whole world - forever.

Professor James Holly Jr., checks in with small groups in his MECHENG 499: Mechanical Engineering and Racial Justice class 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.
