ORIGINAL STORY

Autonomous vehicles may be the way of the future and what better approach to get high school students interested in pursuing careers in engineering than creating a two-part workshop focused on learning more about them.

ME PhD Candidate Xinyu Tan has been selected to receive the Helen Wu Award ($8,000).

The award is named in honor of Helen Lun Chen Wu who accepted the offer of a Barbour Scholarship from the University of Michigan where she received her Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry in 1953.

ME alumnus Dr. Mostafa Bedewy has recently been recognized by the College of Engineering for his academic excellence, constituted by a precise 4.0 GPA.
