Student organizations are a huge part of student life at the University of Michigan! From project teams to professional societies, these groups give undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to get involved, find peers with similar interests, pursue their interests, and build valuable leadership skills outside of the classroom.

The Mechanical Engineering Graduate Council (MEGC) is one of several Mechanical Engineering-specific student groups on campus. MEGC aims to serve U-M ME graduate students through community building, academic and professional development, and communication with department faculty and staff.

The group frequently holds events for graduate students to gather, support one another, volunteer, and grow during their studies in ME! With events ranging from recreational sports and picnics to mentorship activities and panels, graduate students can find many ways to get involved through MEGC.

Earlier this summer, U-M Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Maha Haji attended the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) 46th Annual International Ocean Offshore and Arctic Engineering Conference in Tokyo, Japan.

Haji attended alongside Cornell Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering PhD student Olivia Vitale, who showcased their research in a presentation titled “HetWECs: Experimental Heterogeneous Wave Energy Converter Arrays.”

The research highlights a new experimental dataset for studying hydrodynamic interactions in wave energy converter (WEC) arrays, featuring both heaving point absorbers and oscillating surge WECs within the same farm.

🌟ME Summer Student Highlight: Ashton Clark🌟

Ashton, an incoming senior in ME, spent his summer as an intern in the Space Vehicles Mockup Facility in Houston, Texas, under NASA’s Missions Systems Division! His work has focused on updating vehicle mockups to meet astronaut training needs for missions such as Artemis and the International Space Station.

"My work focused primarily on modifying the Orion capsule mockup to accommodate Artemis 3 mission training in a time-sensitive environment," Ashton said.

🌟ME Summer Student Highlight: Archer Gandhi🌟

Archer is an incoming senior in mechanical engineering! This summer, she interned at Firestorm, a San Diego, California-based startup.

"My work is mostly focused on structures, design for additive manufacturing, and mechanical hardware integration," she said. "I’m working under another U-M ME alum, which has been a great experience!"

Tuhin Bagi, a Michigan Mechanical Engineering PhD student, is one of 16 graduate students selected for the Critical Minerals Research Lab 2026 cohort.

The Critical Minerals Research Lab is a virtual, interdisciplinary hub created by Resources for the Future, a Washington, D.C.-based nonpartisan nonprofit organization. The lab brings together students from diverse backgrounds to identify and explore research topics related to the growing importance of critical minerals.

Bagi’s research centers on electric vehicle adoption and critical mineral sourcing. As a member of the EMBERLab, led by U-M Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Sita Syal, he is developing a model to understand the core impacts of the transition to electric vehicles.

🌟ME Summer Student Highlight: Saima Jamal🌟

Michigan Mechanical Engineering PhD student Saima Jamal spent her summer as an intern at the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia! During her internship, she focused on modeling and control work on a Lunar Cableway Platform.

"While I've been privileged to work at a few centers through my early academic career, Langley has been a dream come true!" Saima said. "This internship would not have been possible without courses taught by Professor Brent Gillespie, Lecturer Jeffrey Koller, and my advisor, Assistant Professor Daniel Bruder. I've even been given the opportunity to work on a mini side project building a soft-robotics gripper demo, which ties nicely into my PhD as I work through how we can make more lightweight, low-mass, capable robots for space!"

Saima also had the opportunity to present her research at the NASA Langley Student Poster Symposium!
