Consumer Products Day is being held on Friday April 8 & Saturday April 9 and we’d like to offer an “Enterprise Challenge” to all other enterprises to create a team for this event.
In order to promote the event, we are asking that you share this information with your enterprises. Students from the CPM Enterprise are also available to attend your enterprise meetings for maybe 5 minutes (start or end of meeting) to explain the event to your students. If you are interested in this, please contact Shelley Farrey mafarrey@mtu.edu in Career Services or Matthew Manning mmanning@mtu.edu of CPM Enterprise to coordinate your meeting time.
The Enterprise Program is now accepting Spring applications for the Carnahan Enterprise Scholarship. Please review the scholarship description and application form.

“Steel Warehouse”
ArcelorMittal is the world’s largest steel producer and a sponsor of numerous enterprise and senior design project teams at Michigan Tech. To support a wider range of project teams, ArcelorMittal conceived the “Steel Warehouse” concept to supply steel to student teams throughout the Michigan Tech campus. This program is managed by the Enterprise Program Office in the Pavlis Honors College.
- Any enterprise or senior project team may request steel (and only steel) for their project.
- To enable support of many teams across campus, requests are limited to $500. Requests > $500 may be considered for approval, depending upon availability of funds and total number of requests received.
**NOTE: The approval and ordering processes have changed.**
Instructions for teams can be found here. A list of preferred steel vendors is provided here.
