A total of five ME graduate students have received NSF (National Science Foundation) Graduate Research Fellowships (GRF) in 2022. With these awards, the University of Michigan (U-M) Mechanical Engineering (ME) Department continues to be a national leader in NSF awards to ME departments. The NSF GRF Program’s goal is to increase the nation’s human capacity in science and engineering by providing fellowships to early-career graduate students to support the development of a diverse and globally engaged U.S. science and engineering workforce.
