From left, Diana Karlsson, a graduate student in biomedical engineering, speaking with Matthew Lusby, an undergraduate in mechanical engineering, at the start of 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.

Mechanical engineering students + the need for speed = Jayhawk Motorsports.
Members of Jayhawk Motorsports spend time in the machine shop and build their own vehicles to take to international competitions against other universities.
This year, some members the group worked on making a Baja racecar in order to compete in Tennessee.
