Braden Gandee, 12, receives an installation of an addition to his wheelchair that a University of Michigan ME450 team designed for him that will allow for him to play soccer with his brother and classmates at school.
Gandee was born with cerebral palsy and has been limited to a wheelchair, often running over the soccer ball instead of pushing it forward when he tried to play with his brothers and classmates. A team of U-M engineers in ME450, a capstone senior course for undergraduates, designed an addition that will allow Gandee to dribble and kick and a soccer ball.

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers was founded 1847 at Birmingham and moved to London in 1877, then to its current location in 1898. The Institution advocates for and promotes the development of all forms of mechanical engineering as well as the interchange of information and ideas between professional organisations, schools, universities and the public. The Institution also holds mechanical engineering competitions with the awarding of annual prizes for different fields of study.

Assistant professor Ashish Deshpande's ReNeu Robotics Lab focuses on developing robotic technologies that will assist therapists in delivering physical rehabilitation. Additionally, the lab is making big strides in developing a human-like robotic hand that could one day serve as a prosthetic device.

Yuxin Chen, Graduate Student Instructor and Graduate Student Research Assistant in Mechanical Engineering, tries to verify lithium metal, solid-state batteries which use a solid electrolyte instead of the currently used flammable liquid electrolyte, inside Professor Neil Dasgupta's laboratory at 3658 G. G. Brown on North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on Friday May 7, 2021.
The University of Michigan is researching ways to harness abundant materials for battery production, or reuse older materials to relieve the disproportionate pressure placed on countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo for cobalt or the Philippines for nickel.

Rachel Schwind, mechanical engineering PhD candidate, demonstrates operation of the rapid compression facility in studying siloxane combustion chemistry in the G.G. Brown building on North Campus at the University of Michigan on October 4, 2019.
Siloxanes are an environmentally benign family of chemicals entering our waste streams through everyday products. These chemicals affect the combustion of biogas harvested from landfills and wastewater treatment facilities, prompting engine manufacturers to impose limits on the use of siloxane in their systems.
Margaret Wooldridge, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of mechanical engineering, worked with Schwind to study how siloxane affects the combustion of biogas in order to take advantage of its positive combustion properties and prevent any negative effect on engine performance.

Jeff Koller, Mechanical Engineering PhD Student, demonstrates use of the exoskeleton project that is being constructed in the Robotics and Motion Laboratory headed by ME Prof. David Remy in the GG Brown Building on August 27, 2013.
The project ultimately aims to make efficient exoskeletons for rehabilitation processes.

Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Gabor Orosz approaches a curve hiding a stalled car next to the roadside inside MCity, the autonomous vehicle testing area in Ann Arbor, MI.
Orosz is testing his connected automated vehicle for safety features beyond the line of sight. A new generation of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) wireless communication technologies have been introduced to allow vehicles to share information with each other and with the fixed infrastructures.
