Mike gave a great talk about industry yesterday! Everyone left a little wiser.

12/02/2013

Hey all,

Tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5:30 in 1010 DOW our beloved Mike Umbriac will be giving a talk.
The subject is 12 Tips for Working in Industry
There will be Free Pizza (Dominos), courtesy of SAE.

A little background for the uninformed: Mike teaches the design courses (ME250 & ME350)
and before that he had a successful career working at Ford manufacturing.
He's also an awesome dude.

There will be free food.
It should be lots of fun.

I hope to see everyone there!

This article is about the last auto plant in Detroit (city-not suburbs), that is bringing some prosperity to the area and Chrysler-Fiat.

What do you think?
Does this plant indicate that the auto industry will bring a brighter future for Detroit?

Is profiting of off big SUVs shortsighted, as it led to problems when gas prices spiked in 2008?

You are the future of the auto industry. What do you think!

Volkswagen wanted to build a 235 MPG car. Now, 15 years after setting that challenge for themselves, they've exceeded their goals in almost every way. The VW XL1 is built like a supercar, looks like a spacepod, feels like a production model and crosses the Autobahn while using barely 0.004 gallons o...
