Michigan Tech Research Continues to Expand

Michigan Tech is an exciting place to be. Our research expenditures and productivity have steadily improved in the last decade, passing the $40 million mark for the first time in 2005.

Our faculty's efforts have been recognized by a broad range of organizations and associations, including the National Science Foundation, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the US Department of Energy, and the Peace Corps.

The new Advanced Technology Development Complex is fulfilling its dual promise of commercializing new technologies and providing an incubator for student innovation. Promising undergraduates have multiple opportunities to learn research by doing it, under the guidance of some of the university's most outstanding faculty members. It is no surprise that Michigan Tech leads all other Michigan universities in both invention disclosures and licenses per research dollar. It's also no surprise that undergraduates are involved in many of these disclosures.

Michigan Tech is well-known by students and employers as a provider of solid, hands-on education for engineers and scientists.

Over the last decade, we have become much more than that, serving the state and the nation as a nationally recognized research institution with world-renowned faculty and excellent students.

Sincerely,

Glenn D. Mroz, President
Michigan Technological University
