For anyone excited about the potential of technology, there's no better place to learn and explore than the University of Michigan College of Engineering. Michigan Engineering offers a rare combination: high-quality scholarship, large-Scale impact and a broad scope of teaching, research and service opportunities.

Breakthrough Scholarship - Ten CoE students from the Student Space Systems Fabrication Laboratory made history at the 2006 Space Elevator Games in New Mexico, when their climber became the first to successfully reach the top of the 200-foot space elevator ribbon and descend by itself.

Service Opportunities - Wee Wizards Explore Making Things - How Manufacturing Works and Why It Is Important, a coloring book created by two CoE staff members, introduces kids to engineering and manufacturing. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers funded the initial printing of 10,000 copies and its distribution to Michigan middle-school technology teachers.
