Engineers biking for a cause Starting today, two #MichiganEngineers and a U-M friend from the LS&A school will join 27 other cyclists from around the U.S. on a 4,043 mile bike ride from Florida to California. Why, you ask? The trio, who are all natives of Kalamazoo, MI, are raising money and awareness for the Kalamazoo Valley Habitat for Humanity. During the 11-week trip, called “Bike and Build,” they’ll also be stopping off in New Orleans and other Gulf Coast communities to help those still recovering from Hurricane Katrina. Just another example of our #MichiganEngineers making a difference in the world… Pictured from left: U-M recent alumni Shane DeMeulenaere, Nathan Heidt and Logan Weidman

What’s the deal with fracking, and how is it affecting our water? A few U-M players are trying to figure that out, and they held a town hall-style meeting last night to discuss it. Watch the meeting and check out this short documentary on the future of fracking and how it may affect you.

Parachuting into Michigan Stadium 


Just the pure awesomeness of this video.

More than 500 students descended on the Michigan Engineering campus this weekend for MHacks - a 36-hour hackathon. With over 1000 signups, 500 attendees, and 127 hacks, this hackathon truly was an “epic experience.” The three MHacks winners were: 1st: SpeakEasy2nd: Chaos Pad3rd: SnowCode And they were totally plugged in the whole time! See their progress on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. michiganengineering: A 36-hour MHacks Hackathon meant making due with what you had to get what little sleep you could during the event. Some hackers brought blankets and pillows to catch a little bit of sleep. Christopher Norys, University of Wisconsin student, brings Charlotte Kissinger (also UWisconsin) to nap on.

Still haven’t decided on a major?
U-M engineering students trying to chose a major or minor might get some insight at the annual Majors Fair on Thursday night. First-year (and even some second-year) students can stroll around the Dude Connector from 4:30-5:30pm Jan. 24 to check out each department. And after you visit three booths, you can score some free pizza!
Can’t make it to South Bend? Don’t worry. You can still hang with your friends and watch the game - and it doesn’t have to be from your dorm room. The North Campus tailgate gives you a chance to watch the game on a big screen with fellow Wolverines. There’s food, music and prizes. Oh, and of course Michigan football! Head down to Chesebrough Auditorium in the Chrysler Center around 7pm to start the fun. And don’t forget your foam finger!

What is this chair doing in the middle of the North Campus diag? We’re filming our Video Time Capsule project, where we ask the Class of 2016 how they want to make a difference in the world. First-years - come document your hopes and dreams.
