RISE projects do not have to stop at the end of the semester. Many RISE participants have continued their work and accomplished great things! Here is a showcase of RISE projects that have extended beyond the course.

Laura Murphy
Instructor: Shanna Daly
RISE Fall 2016
“Utility of Design Heuristics in Novice Designer Idea Generation”
David Peyer 
Instructor: Jianping Fu
RISE Fall 2015-Winter 2016
“Cell Phone Based Miniaturized Coagulation Monitoring Platform for Point-of-Care Diagnosis”
“The RISE program opened an incredible number of doors for me. Not only did it provide a fascinating project that I could call my own, but Dr. Fu took me on and was an exceptional mentor throughout my time at Michigan. We have continued to stay in touch after I graduated and he’s provided valuable guidance and recommendations during my career. I am now working at Zimmer-Biomet designing spinal implants, and I largely credit this project for that opportunity because, during my interview, I was able to talk about my previous medical device design experience through RISE.”

Instructor: Kathleen Sienko
RISE Winter 2015
“Treating Primary Postpartum Hemorrhage in Low Resource Settings”- Culture of Medicine Club
Clark Teeple
Instructor: Kenn Oldham
RISE Winter 2016
“3D Printing for Prototypes of Thin-Film PZT/Polymer Microrobots” led to publication in ASME journal

“I feel strongly that my involvement in RISE has contributed directly to my success in academia. The program enabled me to explore research in the area of robotics, a field I was relatively unfamiliar with at the time (and now the area in which I am pursuing a PhD). On top of technical exposure, RISE also enabled meaningful professional relationships with my faculty adviser and grad students, and provided opportunities to sharpen my technical communication skills through reports and presentations. I would absolutely recommend the program to anyone who is interested in research or an academic career path.”
Jennifer Wenger
Instructor: Shanna Daly
RISE Winter 2016
“Category Coding and Paradigm Relatedness in Engineering Design”- ASEE Conference
Maxwell Wu
Instructor: Kira Barton
RISE Winter 2017
“CFD Modeling of Electrohydrodynamic Jet Printing”
“The RISE program helped to foster my interest in research and served as an invaluable stepping stone towards advancing my abilities as an engineer. The program gave me the opportunity to create personal research goals, develop presentation and technical writing experience, and apply concepts from the classroom towards real-world problems. The skills I developed through the RISE program continue to play a pivotal role in my work today.”
William Yang
Instructor: David Remy
RISE Winter 2017
“Investigation into the energetic effects of various spinal morphologies in quadrupedal robots” led to publication in IOP Science
