MiSo: My Space The Michigan Solar House
If you are interested in energy conservation you’ll enjoy learning about and possibly volunteering to work on MiSo: My Space. The Michigan Solar House (MiSo*). Mi So* is the University of Michigan’s entry in the 2005 Solar Decathlon, an international competition designed to promote investigation and innovation in energy-efficient building sponsored by United States Department of Energy.

To realize MiSo, The Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning joins forces with the College of Engineering, School of Art & Design, School of Natural Resources and Environment.

College of Engineering
www.engin.umich.edu  |  734 647-7160

The College of Engineering comprises fourteen departments ranging from Applied Physics to Chemical Engineering. Several responses, including 10,000 desktop computers, are available to students through CAEN (Computer Aided Engineering Network) Labs and the Duderstadt Center.

The College of Engineering is organized around the North Campus diag. The Lurie Tower and Lurie Fountain are just a few examples of the unique architecture of North Campus. Nestled in the west courtyard of the François-Xavier Bagnoud Building, the Wave Field is an intimate pure earth art work formed to represent the flow of air waves elemental to the study of aeronautics. Visitors are invited to walk across the 1,800 square feet of waves, or find shelter within them. It is visually striking, transformed throughout the day with the changing shadows of the sun.

Many undergraduate engineering students engage in real-world, team projects. Michigan Engineering teams are some of the most successful student projects in the country. The University of Michigan Steel Bridge Team is the new national champion in their field. The U-M Solar Car Team has won three out of seven American Solar Challenge races – more than any other school in history – and consistently ranks among the top solar car teams in the world. Ingenuity, organizational excellence and hard work have made projects like the Human-Powered Submarine, Concrete Canoe Team, Steel Bridge Team and Mars Rover Project models for innovative, student-led thinking.
