There will be an information session for International Senior Design (iDesign) on Wednesday, October 24th at 7 pm, in Dow 875. If you can’t make the meeting and would like more information, please let Dr. Watkins (dwatkins@mtu.edu) know.
Learn More about Michigan Tech’s Engineering Management Major
A degree in engineering management from Michigan Tech positions students for management careers in the engineering field. By blending engineering know-how with a foundation in business, graduates help meet industry demand for this sought after major (offered by only two schools in the state). As a dual degree, engineering management enhances other disciplines by providing a solid backing of management, and STEM skills and hands-on experience.
Huskies of all majors are invited to network with engineering management students and faculty from 4 to 5 p.m. October 10 in Academic Office Building (AOB) 101. You’ll learn about internship experiences, student organizations and courses and career options.
Contact Professor Dana Johnson (dana@mtu.edu) with questions. Pizza and pop will be served.
Carl Blair (SS), Dana Van Kooy (HU) and Libby Meyer (VPA) will host an information session for Cumbria 2019, a faculty-led study abroad program in northern England and southern Scotland: summer, Track B. The session will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday (Oct. 10) in Fisher 130.
We welcome students from across campus. This program offers students an opportunity for foreign travel and for fulfilling HASS (humanities, arts and social sciences) and other General Education requirements in the fields of history, literature, music and archaeology. This session will provide students with information about course offerings, field trips, the application process, costs and scholarships.
Barr Engineering will be hosting an information session on October 2 from 5-6 pm (right before the CEE reception). Attached is a flyer that provides more information if you have any students that you think may be interested in learning about Barr or consulting.
Info Meeting: Study Abroad in The Netherlands (Cycling Infrastructure Course)
Thursday, September 20th, 5 pm in Dow 875
Are you interested in studying abroad, but also want to get a summer internship? How about 16 days of bicycling around the world famous cycling infrastructure in The Netherlands (Netherlands where 27% of ALL their daily trips are made by bicycle and it’s easy riding – it is flat terrain!) where we will study bicycle infrastructure, work with students at a Dutch university, meet professionals who plan and design, and so much more? The course runs (pre-summer) May 19 – June 3 – plenty of time for you to get back for an internship. The course is offered out of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville’s Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering Department (by a professor who is a MTU Civil Engineering aluma), yet is available to students at other campuses, such as Michigan Tech, as well. This course can count toward professional electives for the MTU CEE students.
View the promotional video of the course to catch a glimpse of what you’ll get to experience.
Join us on a 16 day course cycling throughout The Netherlands while studying the world famous cycling infrastructure.

Interested in Space Mining, Robots? Mining Innovation Enterprise is looking for students of all majors and years to join our team.
If you are interested there are a couple of ways that you can join and find more information!
- We have weekly enterprise meetings on Tuesdays at 5pm in MEEM 1021 that you are more than welcome to come and sit in on.
- We will have an info session including a presentation and pizza on Thursday, September 13th from 4-6 PM in MEEM1021
We are currently working on 2 projects for prototype systems to design, build, and test for future use on Mars by NASA and others
- First is the rover (The MINER) a remotely controlled rover that will be able to carry designed attachments for field testing starting later this year.
- Second is a gypsum rock mining and water extraction system to attach to the rover which is part of our NASA Early Stage Innovation Research grant to extract water from hard rock gypsum on Mars.
- Depending on recruiting we can form a group to design and build a rover or rig to participate (and win) in one of two NASA lunar and mars excavation and water mining competitions which would include traveling to the sites to do the competition.
We have a need for skills and students interested in
- structural and mechanical design, machining, building, testing, fieldwork, hands-on experience
- electrical, power & control experience for the rover operation and remote control
- sensors, data collection and processing
- programming for the user interface and control of the rover and payload
- processing, fluids, particle flows, thermal aspects and energy efficiency
- system engineering, design process, optimization
- team management, fundraising, website design
You will be working in small interdisciplinary teams to work on subsystems of the rover and payload and work as an enterprise to get the systems designed and operational. We are looking for students to join as soon as possible!
You can also contact our faculty advisor, Paul van Susante, directly at pjvansus@mtu.edu or directly in his office, MEEM 925.
There is a new student chapter of the Engineering Society of Detroit forming here at Michigan Tech.
There will be an info meeting tomorrow (11/9) @ 5 pm in M&M 610.
